Hiya Duncan.
Me and Linda are going to stay at Horwood for the Thursday night as well. I want to go to Silverstone
early for the Friday events. Do you know if the room discount will apply for this additional nights stay. :-?

I would expect and have checked with the reservations line that the answer from there would be no. However. I think I will go for it as a task I think we should get a yes, I think the Hotel are very happy with what we have delivered so far so I think they may go for it. I will email now but cannot give you an answer until tomorrow at which point I will edit this post.

Duncan

Edit After the call to the venue! Yes the discount does apply to the Thursday night. Due to communication lag it night be best to refer the reservations centre to Matilda though, I am not sure how long it will take for the system to get modified.

As a reminder to people if you book the hotel direct the room discount applies. If you book through another agency or on a advance purchase rate the hotel cannot change the room rate for you. What they have taken to do though is that for us they make no differential wether it is identified as with or without breakfast we residents are all covered for breakfast which will be starting at 7:00 am and also the discount on the bar menu.

There are three questions that I need to ask

1 In that we have the Breakfast set up to cater for up to 80 people between 7:00 and 7:30 is there a small group who want the Grab and Go option that was offered?

2 What time do we want to be leaving on the Sunday so that I can set up the Breakfast time? I think the normal 8:00 should be ok for the Sunday personally unless we are going to go for another cruise to the track?

3 On friday night the restaurant closes at 9:30 for food after that they can sort sandwiches but is anyone arriving after 9:30 want a hot cooked meal? If so I may be able to make arrangement but I have not to date assuming that anyone arriving after that will eat on the way.

Hiya Duncan.
As you now know i have booked a room at Horwood for the Thursday so we will already be there
for an early start on Friday. Would be good to meet up there and travel over together if thats
good to you?

Duncan, re. the Sunday morning breakfast, do we still have to be infield by 9.30 for the public for health & safety purposes?

My understanding is yes as Sunday is the finals day. Friday and Sat are the heats and semifinals with Sunday being the finals day.

I will check and report on Tuesday, I am at scotch corner at the moment and on the croft track day tommorrow with a 7 Hour return trip from the track day tomorrow. :coolsteer)

I agree I am planning now to book Thursday at the hotel as well and get to the track early Friday to enjoy the whole day. Especially as I know I am not the only one.

See you there sometime whenever you get to us.

I will check for Friday as well as for sunday for infield parking times.

Regards

Duncan

I have spoken to the Hotel about arrangements for food for Friday and Saturday and they plan to ask people as they arrive whether they will be eating at the hotel so that they can get an idea of numbers. I also suggested that it might be worth me posting a number to call and say if you wish to eat at the hotel on Friday night specifically. The hotel response is copied below:

"if you do wish to give all guests the chance to call the main hotel number on 01296 722100 and to speak with reception to book dinner if required that would be fantastic, just to inform you dinner within the restaurant is served from 7pm till 9pm"

Thanks Duncan all info greatly recieved. :-bd
Providing the weather turns out good (dry) i want to get the atmosphere of everything, and
plan on staying to watch the stage shows. Just a thought, dont know if its feasable, but i
wonder if we were to return to the hotel after the racing for a change of clothes, whether a few
of us could share a mini bus back to Silverstone for the evening and then we could have a couple of. :beer :beer
