Just noticed on Pistonheads that the Breakfast Club calender for Goodwood has just been released & that the first even is "Mini Mayhem" on 1st March 2009:

That sounds interesting ... just down the road from me too :nice:

Yeah not to far. I'm in Chichester so you don't get much closer :biggrin: I can make it to the race circuit from my house in less than 10 minutes :biggrin:

I quite often go to the breakfast clubs. Well the interesting ones anyway :wink:

MAFFA

Sounds fun! I would be interested. The website doesn't seem to make much sense though. I'm coming from Gosport/Portsmouth way.

oooh that sounds interesting - I'm only along the road in Worthing and always round Goodwood :D might have to look into this a bit more :D

Good idea. The website doesn't allow me to pre register for it yet. Its still living in 2008. But I'm interested! Any one know what time it starts? Looks fab though and a perfect occasion for a show and shine!

I noticed that too! :o I'm not sure, someone at work went to one of them last year and I have a feeling that around 9am rings a bell :confused: I have a contact at the motor circuit, so I'll see if I can find out ;):D

Wicked. I can manage 9am! Haha.

Dear me, I did say I would do no more runs/meets until I bought my MINI :o

I'll be going as it's not far from me.

I've been to a few of these now, they usually start at 8:30, though it might be worth getting there slightly before as I can see this one being quite popular. :)

8:30 :eek:

Another very early start :o

This sounds like great fun:D:D Might have to pop along:D

I don't think you have to pre register unless you're having breakfast. I've been to loads & you just turn up, but then I suppose there's no harm. Toothbrush will be coming out for this one :biggrin:

The website still hasn't been updated with the calender (even though it's been released) so watch this space as i'm sure it'll be up to speed soon enough :)

Anyone tempted by a convoy up there? McDonalds carpark (on the A27 dog leg at Chichester) for breakfast at 8am would be a good bet if it does (TBC) start at 8:30. Only about a mile from there.

MAFFA

Looks good - i'm tempted to pop along

Can we get our cars included? Do we just turn up? I wanna get in and be part of the show rather than just a viewer (even that would be cool too)

Yes, if you turn up with a car that fits the theme, you get to park up in the circuit and be part of the show.

The convoy sounds like a good idea, if we arrive together we might get to park together.

Whoohoo! I'm coming from Portsmouth direction, anyone fancy a convoy? Paul I promise I'll turn up this time! (doh!)

Okay so as it stands lets say we'll have a convoy & the provisional details are:

Hey this sounds good, I'll need to see nearer the time

I'd becoming from Guildford area

Just seen that more info is available on the Goodwood website under "Latest News"

Goodwood - Breakfast Club - Latest News (http://www.goodwood.co.uk/site/content/breakfastclub/News.aspx)

Here are a few quotes:

The first of the 2009 Goodwood Breakfast Club meetings will be held on Sunday 1st March. A selection of vehicles, appropriate to each monthly theme, will be parked up and displayed within the Motor Circuit, whilst regular vehicles will be directed to the public car parking area just across the road. As in previous years, admission to the Breakfast Club remains free, and all visitors are welcome.

A revised and improved website, dedicated to the Goodwood Breakfast Club (Goodwood (http://www.Goodwood.com/breakfastclub)) is available on-line, highlighting updates on each monthly theme, and enabling visitors to pre-register on-line to secure easy parking and breakfast access.

The Goodwood Breakfast Club is held on the first Sunday of every month, from March to December, with the exception of July and September, which have been rescheduled for 2009 as indicated below (*). Meetings are held from 08:30hrs to midday.

If interest is good from this forum i'll mail them & tell them we're all coming :) May get priority or something? Worth a shot.

MAFFA I added the list of who's coming to the first post. Best to keep all latest info there ;)

What a shame, same day as my fundraising,,,,maybe next year :(

I love Goodwood so it'd be amazing to get on the track... even if it is just to park up lol.

I'd be coming from Manchester so what exactly goes on as I'd like to see if it'll be worth the trip :D

Crikey that would be a trip :aargh:

It's pretty much a show & shine really with food and drink stands on site. If you're feeling really posh you could opt for breakfast in the restaurant :biggrin: I'm sure there will be a huge number of old & new Mini's there to look at.

If you want the full low down i'd suggest e-mailing them at cooked@goodwood.co.uk

I know lol but I do love Goodwood. If they rented apartments in Goodwood House I'd live there haha.

Thanks for the e-mail address. I'll ask them a few things and see if my car would be suitable to put on show :redface:

You couldn't be living much further away from your dream appartment then!! :biggrin::p

Ooh thinking about a trip down? Well not sure they'll let radioactive MINI's on Goodwood! ;) lol!

We're local so let me know if you need to know any hotels in the area and we'll sort you out! There is a Goodwood hotel but not sure its very affordable! Very nice though.

Whoohoo! I'm coming from Portsmouth direction, anyone fancy a convoy? Paul I promise I'll turn up this time! (doh!)

I'm up for this - a convoy sounds good too

This one is not that early this time

Well if you're paying i'll go for a suite, full board please :D

Anyway, at least i'll be able to see my radioactive mini in the dark haha.

Tell me about it! I'd live at Brooklands, Goodwood and McLaren if I could! :D
