I’m up for that. I’ll probably stay with my parents since they aren’t that far away, and they can look after the dog.

I’ll hold off booking a ticket direct from the event website, in case the procedure is different if you are coming with a club.

Better try and get my car looking half-way presentable...

It seems the free tickets for Lotus owners available direct from the event website are already sold out. Hope there’s a separate allocation for club cars.

Any chance of a ticket for me too? I guess I was too slow in getting to the website... Doh!! :(

We are now at capacity for the number of Lotus cars that will fit on site. Free tickets to attend the party are still available via your local Lotus dealer .

Hope the club route works :

I managed to get ticket 4498. Just need to find somewhere to stay now.

If there is a club section I would very much like to join in with that.

I got a ticket on Friday afternoon too. If there is going to be a club presence I'd definitely like to be part of it.

Can’t believe it’s sold out already - I’ve been away and only just found out about it !!

If there is some arrangement for clubs I am definitely up for it.
