They have a large (normally deserted) car park too.

Can't remember if they have food, but bound to be a curry house not far away. ;)

I think they do.

They have a canteen - hot food reasonably priced, healthy shite overpriced.

If we are planning a meet in their carpark, I suspect we need to ask their permission?

Nowhere inside really, except the canteen, to congregate, from what I remember.


The carpark is pretty big though.  Shame we can't get on the test track  :-X

Apart from the pub in the village - suitable only for toffs - there is absolutely bugger all nearby. Leamington or shitsville Banbury. Or Tiffins.

There is that One-Horse town called Brackley on the way home. I wonder if that has a curry house? ::)

Yeah, in the name of research perhaps, just to see if it's up to scratch  ::)

Given notice, I should be able to juggle around...  ...but we are only 4 weeks to Christmas, so a decision needs to me made quickly.

Ok - assuming it's going to be one of the weekends between now and Christmas it will be either next weekend 4th/5th, or 11th/12th, or 18th/19th.

Personally - I reckon the Heritage Centre would be an excellent venue when the weather is warmer and the go-karts are running again - but granted the museum is worth a visit and you can get free entry again if you subscribe to Gift Aid. The Cafe does well  :-/ :-/ er Cafe stuff - I wouldn't suggest a full meal there but certainly a cuppa and a cake. Entry is £9 iirc
OR - if the curry is the primary objective - and we know one that seems to fit the bill quite nicely - why don't we rendevous nearby (maybe the ex Braun GP industrial park near the Tesco roundabout at Brackley) for meet and greet in one of the car parks there - if I can make it I'll take some snaps too.
For me the Sundays are out and I can only make either the 4th or 18th.

SO - nail a date - and do you want to meet at the Heritage and retreat to Brackley for a curry - or save the Heritage for another date and go for a meet and greet at Brackley - OR something else  :question

Cheers
Ian.  :y

Pretty certain thats now barriered, so can't get in.  Not passed it for a while, but would assume Mercedes GP would not want peeps hanging around...

..yes I had a look on Google Earth and realised it was gated so wasn't suggesting we use their car park - but further along there is open car park area in the same complex serving the other units.

Any takers anyone ..
