Mini Event

**Stephen Green** · 14 May 2009, 09:05 (Ref:2462204)

The BARC are still short of marshals for the Mini Event being held at Silverstone on the weekend of the 23rd & 24th May. If anyone is able to help please email Becci at BARC to volunteer: rharvey@barc.net

Stephen...from thousands of miles away...could you let me know a little more (maybe 10 feet more?) about the Mini event please?? Is it associated with the Mini 50th Anniversary prey tell???

Yup, that's the one http://www.miniunited.com/web/guest/miniunited2009

I'm doing Saturday with ES, but I believe that a few folk are less than keen because there is only a small period of track / marshaling time and the rest is free to enjoy the festival.

BBQ Sat evening and a concert including Paul Weller for those that feel tempted by the show

Is it a requirement to do the Friday as well? because if so I won't be able to, and what are the camping arrangements?

I'm only doing Sunday so I guess not!

Camping is behind Woodcote in the contractors compound.

Woodcote! That's a new one on me. Thanks Steve/Arnie.

Steven Humphrey · 14 May 2009, 19:58 (Ref:2462580)

Me too! Apparently you get to it through the coach park, should be signposted. There's also live music on the Friday from Calvin Harris

That's a good reason not to do Friday then. I get the feeling that this one could be very noisy with little chance of sleeping.

Steven Humphrey · 14 May 2009, 20:31 (Ref:2462596)

Guess that's why the campsite is well away from the live stage (which is between Copse & Becketts)! I'm with you on that one though-getting too old for all that nonsense.

The_Viper · 19 May 2009, 08:22 (Ref:2464979)

Anyone any idea what facilities will be at Woodcote if that's the Marshals campsite?
Not done Silverstone before as a marshal so any hints & tips appreciated!!

Robin_D · 19 May 2009, 14:01 (Ref:2465152)

Hello Mr Viper,

Not too sure myself to be honest!

Steven Humphrey · 19 May 2009, 14:56 (Ref:2465185)

Got my 'crew' pass & guest passes in the post today-apparently my Silverstone marshal's pass won't get me in to this event (worth noting for anyone deciding to do this at the last minute). The campsite is shared with contractors but I've no idea what the facilities are like. You could try emailing Penny Norris (penny.norris@silverstone.co.uk) for more details

Bring clothing for every weather type, usually all in one day!

welche2 · 19 May 2009, 18:21 (Ref:2465279)

got my passes today on the letter it says crew and guest pass on them but mine are the same anyone else has the same problem.?

Steven Humphrey · 20 May 2009, 00:54 (Ref:2465466)

I got one for me that says 'crew' and guest pass that has a barcode on the back-which I think is just a standard ticket. Don't think it really matters as both will get you through the gate

welche2 · 20 May 2009, 17:39 (Ref:2465832)

rang up,penny today, said they had run out of crew passes, and put two guest passes insted. you must register them before you can enter the track.
thanks for the advice/

chezza · 21 May 2009, 20:28 (Ref:2466706)

I got my crew pass. Although the concert goes on until late sign isn't until 10:45 on Sunday so plenty of time for sleeping!

Col_Rugby · 22 May 2009, 10:06 (Ref:2466970)

If anyone has a camcorder or similiar I wouldn't mind seeing Calvin Harris in action..

...Mr Weller would be good as well

I'm on holiday or I could have been tempted.

I was told that if your guest wants to participate in any of the activities, including Track Rides they have to get their pass validated at one of the entry public entry points. If you are a marshal you can use it for a track ride too.

welche2 · 22 May 2009, 21:00 (Ref:2467310)

was told the guest pass were already validated today when i tried to register. campsite is full of marshalls and familys. bbq tomorrow night. got a spare pass if anyone needs it let us know as paul weller is on
