Post BGP

29-07-2011

Well where’s a good place to start after a few hectic weeks ! The build up to the BGP meant stock to the suite and thank fully the service lift was working, im still struggling to get use to those 3 flights of stairs albeit once you are there the views from the Brookland Suite are just perfect, The Friday of the BGP had weather just like race day of Moto GP, cold and wet but it didn’t seem to dampen the spirit of our guests. Saturday and Sunday the weather improved albeit we had our share of good old English rain. Race day arrived and I have to say there was a brilliant atmosphere on the balcony with the champagne flowing. I guess all good things come to an end and once the BGP had finished we had a couple of days to recover then we were back preparing for the Silverstone Classic and World Superbikes. In between the BGP and Classics we did manage a day at the Fairford Airshow……… yes you guest it, it rained. But by late morning the weather front had moved on and the flying display started. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch the Red Arrows ill never get bored, unbelievable display. In finishing this blog, I have to mention the Silverstone Classic and no RAIN just plenty of sunshine………. Some of the highlights for me were the Group C cars on the Saturday evening with daylight fading, the E type Jags hundreds of them, the F1’s of yesterday with plenty of noise and the Red Devils display on Sunday, just a shame we didn’t see them land ! Let’s hope the good weather hold for WSB’s this weekend !

The Season has started !

14-06-2011

Well, we have now completed the first 2 events for 2011. The FIA GT went well and was a good learning curve for us having moved from the Paddocks suites to Brooklands, I have to say the views of the track are just amazing and it made me wish we had moved years ago………. The following week we were back for 3 days of Moto GP, weather was a mixture of dry and certainly wet on race day and we were certainly glad of the covered balcony. Feedback was great re our promotional Pils from Krombacher; I guess I new that by the amount of times I had to walk up and down the stairs to replenish our stocks. The gadget competition was easily won by our Guinness “machine” that certainly deliveries the perfect pint of Guinness. Now its time to prep the suite for the big one, The British Formula One Grand Prix, we are full all 3 days and have the Red Devils Parachute Display Team “dropping in” on the Friday, no doubt to try a Pils or Guinness ! Other events in July include World Superbikes and the Silverstone Classic which is a true family day out, so a busy month and we are looking forward to meeting some of Matthew’s customers from Classic Dreams over the coming events.
