    Only tickets to spectate will be on the gate and nothing to do with RTOC .The VW event and/or POD are in charge of ticketing on the day .


    All tickets to run must be purchased in advance from the club shop !!! Also the camping tickets must be paid for in advance . Again these are not available on the Saturday night .

    sorry to hear that rob, being a wood butcher myself , can imagine the pain your going through,( cut the top of my finger many years ago) , gather your covered insurance wise? you will be off work for quite sometime i would imagine, i did my time under a old skool carpenter many years ago, he lost two fingers of one hand to a surface planer, but he still managed to do 95% of the things he could do before the accident, as he said " you adapt " chin up mate , dont let it get you down.

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    You can buy entry on the day but from Pod/VW event .

    There will poss be some RTOC officials there on the day to buy tickets to run but I can't be certain hence why I said these were only in advance .Pod may also have tickets to run left on the day .

    34 full ticket packages left .If someone wants the entry only then I will split them out .Might as well try and get some of that back
    If you are attending then please buy the ticket through the club if you can rather than on the day
    I'll even go so far as to send tickets and trust that you'll all pay up on the Monday after if pay day is an issue

    That's good news!

    I suspect a few people will just turn up and run on the day if that's the case.

    thats the whole point, thought i couldnt without being stung for £30 or something for VW entrance as well, so like £90 just to run, puts it out of budget and i cant risk driving all the way there at silly am just to have an argument on the gate and come home

    if i can be guaranteed entrance and runs on the door for the £60 then i'd go for it

    It's 60 on the day .This seems to be one of the most confused events ever ......
    We bought tickets for the Sunday test and tune .I had no idea the VW thing was even on till someone mentioned camping etc .
    This is the link to the event rtoc bulk bought tickets for and the prices are all correct as shown here .
    http://www.rwyb.co.uk/performance.php

    The vw thing only came into it for the camping passes .

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    Just to clear things up!

    Enterance on the Sunday is £10 on the gate, then it's £50 to run, that totals £60 for entrance and running. Ticketing on the Sunday is down to pod not the vw event.

    I'm sure clee would post you a ticket out or a ticket to another member for you to pick up and pay for on the day. Its no big deal really ad the club has purchased 40 tickets, I'm pressuming that whatever the club doesn't sell on they won't get a refund for?

    If you want to make tickets available on the day then as carcrash has already offered or indeed me or any other long term memeber I'm sure wouldn't mind having some tickets sent to to keep for runners who want to pay on the day. Seems a Shame to put people off just for this.

    And the answer it isn't set up properly yet won't wash either, what better place could you get for measuring the performance of your car, a small bag of carb jets and some micro drill bits and your away!

Some full throttle changes should get me through I don't even know what times these do standard..

    Thats going to be real shame if it doesn't happen next year since its been very popular past years and its prob the only event i really look forward too.

    Considering it was busy past years and gone quiet this year might be interesting to see why its so quiet and then maybe work on that to make sure it doesn't happen next year, if same happens again then fair do's looks like the popularity of it has died off and doesn't warrent doing anymore

    We always make a loss even when it is popular but it's getting to be unsustainable.
