It is this month (April) that they usually sort out the sessions (there have been over 400 entries in total) – their website http://www.festivalof1000bikes.co.uk/Sessions says "**SESSIONS AND GROUPS FOR 2019 WILL BE UPDATED SOON**"
and has done for over a week.

With health and confidence slowly improving, I thought I'd take another look at this . . . . . . . .

Their Home page says the deadline has been extended and they are still taking entries?

So my entry has just been posted, fingers crossed I might just scrape in?

Trying to decide whether I'll need elbow sliders.

Yes bring elbow sliders, I'll fit the go pro and I could be quids in when I send the footage to you've been framed

[Nick64]

I have contacted the organisers and the response I have is:

Sorry the sessions have not been sorted yet, further information will be sent within the month of June

We continue to wait...

[Kawaclive]

In previous years we have never received out paperwork and tickets until a couple of weeks before.
It’s the normal for VMCC events, no need to panic.
Probably a deliberate ploy so people don’t have time to lose the paperwork before the event after putting it somewhere safe.

[Luke Sharp]

My cheque is now showing as cashed today?

Didn't submit until early May.

[Nick64]

I have had a further response from VMCC. They apologise for the delay in sorting the sessions out. I have been told they have been without an events organiser for 3 months. They will sort it soon and say it will be better next year.

[Nigel S]

Just got my schedule in and looks as if I will be home for this one.
Looking back through the pages for this I have got a bit lost as to what I need to get in for the meeting.

I guess to get in nothing just turn up on the day ?
But to take the parade laps need to pre book ?

See you all there

[Kawaclive]

Ring the VMCC and they can e mail or post you entry forms, I believe there are still spaces.

[H2R]

Just sent my entry off to VMCC. Not doing Brands GP now, so hoping to brush some rust off with a few laps of Mallory.

Who's been before? Wondering how packed the paddock's going to be, and maybe I need to get there on the Saturday.

Or Friday afternoon ...

What say the experienced?

Thanks

Stephen

[Malcolm]

What do the various classes mean for the track sessions? There doesn't seem to be a key on the site

For Stephen H2r
Hi Stephen
The paddock in the centre of the track usually opens around 2pm on the Friday and a group of us arrive then and get a pitch large enough for our group.
You are welcome to join us.
We can normally get our road and race bikes scrutineered from around 4 pm on the Friday to avoid the queue on Saturday.
Only those with race bike entries can park in the paddock, those who only have road bike entries park on the outside but they cab freely walk across the bridge into the paddock without any special pass to look at the bikes in there.
If you are arriving on the Saturday you will need to be early as the only access to the paddock is across the track which normally closes at 8am.
Give me a call and we can discuss.
Regards
Clive
