Goodwood Revival meeting

[JuZ]

Is anybody else going to this? I'll be there on the Friday :)

[Cadwell]

Yes, not on the Friday though.

Have you been before? I went last year.

Its nice the way the crowd dress up either in smart casual or period costumes - don't turn up in jeans and t-shirt. Last year they had a nice air display as well.

Personally I've done jeans and t-shirt every year of the Revival... Still I go to watch the racing (and take photographs) something the majority of the Revival crowd seems to have forgotten about recently...

[JuZ]

I've been most years in Jeans and a T shirt, but like Cadwell I go for the racing, its only 16 miles from me too :D This will be my 1st year with a "proper" camera though.

[Dave_G]

I was up for it but due to "equipment failure" I won't be now.

I've never been and was about to book tickets the weekend before last, then my 300D went wonky so I didn't.

I don't like the idea of doing anything at Goodwood on a Friday, I live in Hertfordshire so it's a fair distance - battling with weekday rush hour traffic to get the the FOS earlier in the year was a nightmare! added an hour and a half to my journey.

Still, if you're 16 miles away, that rocks!

[Brands]

Sunday for me:D

I too don't dress up as that is mainly for the social set who don't get any further than the hospitality tents:rolleyes:

[andrewc]

i went last year (free tickets) and I would say the majority were dressed smartly with a good proportion in period clothes as well. Modern casual was definately the minority.

So leave your dSLR's at home and get out the Box Brownies.

[Cadwell]

Thanks but no thanks. When Goodwood finally turns into nothing more that a poncy garden party for the County Set, that's when I'll abandon it altogether for the charms of some proper motorsport elsewhere; no matter how good the tin on the track is.

p.s. "period" for Goodwood is 1948-1966... something you might want to point out to all the Hooray Henry's who wander around looking like extras from the Battle of Britain. :lol: Oh... and a pair of Levis plus polo shirt fits right in to the timescale... Mods, anyone :lol:

I'll be there on the Saturday. I dressed up for the inaugural meeting as I had a GRRC membership. But since then I haven't bothered.
If I park at my sisters house I can walk to the circuit ;)

Sunday, mate... sorry. I guess we'll have to wait for the Wyedean to meet up again. I have it on my rapidly filling 2006 calendar.

[JuZ]

Well I went today and the weather was much better than I expected :) I now have about 400 shots to process.

Very nice... :D don't take it to the Wyedean though... the tinkling sound as a stone finds it's way down the end will bring tears to your eyes. After Andy had a near miss with a stone at the Sunseeker last year, I'm going to leave my expensive glass at home and will make do with the 100-400L and 70-200L.
