Right guys, I know this thread is a little late but as most of you know, uni has been extremely busy for the last month!
First things first - 2 days left for tickets!
That's from today - the last day is Thursday, so please click the link in my sig if you want to go and pay ASAP - if you want to show on the Corsasport Stand, you need to be a premium member and have bought tickets through CS, so hurry up!
The event is all weekend this year - Saturday 6th to Sunday 7th June 2009.
If you want a full weekend ticket, its £25, and that includes camping on both the Friday and Saturday night, so get on it!
I spoke to Rob E earlier tonight and both of us have already bought our full weekend passes, so we'll probably convoy up together on the Friday night, as long as he hasn't gone back to Llandudno by then.
If any of you do want to convoy up on Friday, just let me know and I'm sure we can sort something out for everyone
So, once again - GET BUYING THOSE TICKETS!

Myself and Rob for definite - it looks like that's it so far, which is a shame!
Don't worry about that though Steve, the first year I went I was the only South Wales car there and didn't know a single person - it was one of the best weekends I have ever had though!
Get buying mate, you'll regret it if you don't!

Alun, come up for the day mate, it'll be worth it.
The last two years I've driven up to Fordfair and Trax at Silverstone (about 10 miles less than Santa Pod) in a day, its definitely going to be worth it!
If you're coming up you've got my mobile number, give me a shout and I'll see if Willay has a spare stand pass for you to get on with us - It will mean leaving home at about 4am though, but you'll love it!

It's nowhere near as far as Crewe mate!
It takes me about 3 1/2 hours I think, and that's driving at 70 on the motorway.
Multimap says it is 3 hours 36 minutes from Newport to Santa Pod:

Note that I put in a via point, just so it will take you the quicker route - otherwise it wants to take you via Birmingham

Multimap reckons Crewe takes 2 3/4 hours, so if you managed that in 2 hours, the journey to the Pod should take you less than 3 hours
