I don't think £12.95 is much money these days when we were charging £10 ten years ago for a field and no one grumbled. We are hiring a 100 million pound venue with attractions and staff so a very very fair price considering my friend. Compare that to those who do charge for a field and its good value.

strikes me as cracking value to be honest. Its around 70% cheaper than a CCC meet, and you don't get anywhere near as good value for money at any of the CCC meets!

Hi Vanny

Hope you are well.

I appreciate the feedback on the costs. I understand why some think it is getting pricey but when its broken down and what you get for your money now I think it is good value.

Despite the recession motorsport venues have gone up in price this year along with staffing etc.

I hope you can make it this year, have not seen you around for a while.

13 quid is nothing, you'd have trouble going to see a film at the flicks and buy popcorn and a coke for that money!
I'm going to a show over here in June and its $20 per person to get in plus $50 for drag racing, cheap day out in my opinion.

tims just thinking how many billy basic ebay bx's he could buy for that! :wink:

£13 for a days worth of entertainment at a car show is good value!
it'll cost you twice that to go and see a band i've never heard of for an hour and half, :shock:
£13 is just about two meals in the pub without drinks! :cry:

Tim, think of the amount of money you seem to throw at your ebay bargains matey, £13 for a day out is small fry fella!

After all that Ive gotta work, although I was planning to head up! Still think £13 is alot but Im sure its worth it. CCC do is £7 a car though so dont know how you get its expensive.

well it used to be around £8 per person, then astonomical costs for camping (last time Lau and i went it was over £50 before we did anything), and there isn't a lot to see at a CCC meet, okay it's quieter, but the facilities are usually sub standard. Value for money wise i would rate it a 4 out of 10.
