Just to update everyone- I have created an event for the Smart Festival on Facebook as well.

....If not Registered, do we have to park hap-hazzard on arrival?
Nero   

In earlier posts you will have seen that I'm organising a meet and 'convoy' of ForFours
from Tesco's car park at Brooklands...spitting distance from MB-World.  This is because
the organisers will not allocate seperate areas for different Smarts.
Being as the ForFour is in the minority we get spread here there and everywhere, it is
hoped that this way we'll at least have a group of our own.

For those that can't manage to make our rendezvous, it will be a case of park where
you're told...and where there's space.
Last year was pretty dam full, with cars having to park off the tarmac and on the grass.
Smart car attendance figures for previous years are...
just under 1000 (2008), just over 1100 (2009), 1440 cars (2010).

Hi G,

I think we are going to pop into Croydon first of all, like we did last time for the first half an hour and then make our own way to the festival. If we happen to see everyone at Tesco when we arrive then we shall join you. If not we shall just drive straight to Mercedes Benz World.

For anyone going to Croydon first of all, please let me know and I will let you know the time you should be there. I am going to drop them an email now as each year it has differed regarding the time we should meet there!

and got a pack in about a week.  So maybe anyone who still hasnt should re-apply..
and if poss add a note that they had applied earlier....I did.

I've mentioned this on Destination Smart as I know that quite a few ForFour drivers haven't got theirs at all- I registered my Dad as a ForTwo owner and he had his pack within two weeks. I'll email them now too.
Thanks

CONVOY MEET POINT - SLIGHT CHANGE.

For those intending to meet up before the start of the festival and 'convoy' in, I have
been advised that tesco's car park on Saturday morning is a bit of a 'mare', so with that
in mind I have a very very slight amendment to make.
Please look at the map at the bottom of post/page 4, and you will see that after you
turn off the A245 (Parvis Road/Byfleet Road) into Sopwith drive that you come to a
roundabout and it shows a left turn towards Tesco's/M&S.
DO NOT TURN LEFT at that roundabout.
Instead turn right...and this will take you into a secluded car park where there are
some swings n stuff (behind barriers/fence) for children. Drive in slowly and you'll then
see my car and whoever else is already there...waiting.

NB: If you do need to go to Tesco's or M&S for anything, go there first and then come
      out and bear left to the roundabout, go across it and into 'the meeting place'.  OK ?

Why not try to book a hotel locally? It's a shame that you're not travelling from Heathrow as that's much nearer to MB world (and easier to get to).

ok .. what time ?

[Problemchild]

grrrrrr - its soooo close to gatwick where i am flying from the next day

trouble is we are going with the folks and have a minibus booked from essex on the sunday to the airport.

the smart isn't big enough to take all the luggage for 2 adults and a sprog for 2 weeks in the sun so has to be a 2 car trip

hmmmmmm
