Haynes Breakfast Club

[Spleen]

Anyone ever been? Not a million miles from me and wondering whether it’s worth taking a trip out to the next one on 3 Apr.

I don't know about the Breakfast Club, but the museum is worth a look.
We had a fairly quick whizz around it with some relatives, so I need to go back, it's £16 for a ticket, but valid for the year.

Aye, I was going to take a trip to the museum and then spotted that they have a monthly Breakfast Club. Sharp start at 0800 though and I like my lie ins!

And watch out for the local speed enforcement

What's the story there?

I'm about 45 minutes away, we have an annual pass for the museum so it was a bit of a no brainer signing up for this for a fiver.

It'll be my 7 year old sons first 'car meet' so it'll be interesting to see what he gets out of it. He absolutely adores the museum so I'm quite hopeful! For anyone considering the museum who hasn't been (or hasn't been for a few years) the Williams F1 exhibition is superb (and surprisingly easy to miss!) and they have quite a few new additions.

I will be in a very bright yellow Suzuki Swift Sport Boosterjet

I am local to Haynes, haven't been before and I will be going to the next one in my E500.

Glad we arrived at 8am this morning! In within 10 minutes and breakfast a few minutes later.

The queues at 9am ish were insane, huge turnout but they need a better system to check people in.

My 7 year old son loved it, ticked loads off of his photography list!

I've been following it on Faceache, a lot of very unhappy bunnies about the long queues. I didn't go as my car is still in the shop, kind of glad I didn't really.

Is that on a particular group / page?

[Spleen]

Aye, literally called the 'Haynes Breakfast Club.'

Strange, no discussions coming up for me on those pages. I was intrigued if it was a one off or just a perfect storm of a lovely sunny morning on a weekend before most other events have got up and running for the year.

Really? That's a bit odd:



It seems as if they have a new ticketing system that caused long queues on the A303 with a couple of older cars boiling over. Some were saying they had to wait around 45 mins to get in.
