Please
keep away from
the Bluebells!! |

Parking
is good with options if this weather persists.
The paddock/work area is fine with good viewing of large
chunk of the track.
Please could everyone when walking around to watch keep
to the areas permitted and keep off of the track. Also please
keep off the Bluebells, they look nicer in one piece, rather
than with a boot print on!
We will keep you informed daily here on the site.
Fat Piggies will be providing the top quality catering at
the event once again from 7.30am.
The only post code available for the farm takes you to the
wrong place as we are a distance from the farm. So please
take the turning towards the village of Hannington off of
the A339 Newbury to Basingstoke Rd. The track entrance is
on your left when going towards Hannington and will be signposted. |
