Hi Everyone,

We are now up to 25 members on the list for this drive and visit. To this end, I am not taking any further additions to the list until I check with the venue that they are happy with our number, or can take a few more.

Please bear with us whilst this happens.

Best Regards

Is there anyone that would have space in their car as I’m interested but not ULEZ complient!

Hi Jane,

It will be good to have you along with us for this one and I am sure someone on this thread will be able to help you :crossed_fingers:

I am hoping that people will have seen my earilier post in this thread, ref ULEZ and the link to check if their vehicle is ULEZ compliant or not. Checking online, I have found the following, that may help members decide if they still wish to attend or not;

Unfortunately, the Battle of Britain Bunker is located within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), as the ULEZ expanded to include all outer London boroughs, including Hillingdon, in August 2023. Therefore, if your vehicle does not meet ULEZ emission standards, you may face a daily £12.50 charge for driving it within the zone.

For completeness, here is the link again, to check if your MX-5 is compliant in the ULEZ zones or not; Check your vehicle

Best Regards

Hi Alistair,

Please disregard the message I sent you via PayPal, as I have sorted it now :smiley:

Kind Regards

Hi Everyone,

I am just finalising The Bunker visit, as they are requesting payment ahead of our visit.

However, Jane Heyer would like to come along but her MX-5 is not ULEZ compliant, so would someone be happy to give Jane a lift to the bunker and back on the day? If so I will put you in touch with Jane :wink:

Kind Regards

Hi Mal
Thanks for the help with PP.
I resurrected a dormant PP account (took ages) and paid £20 a couple of minutes ago.

Hi Richard,

Yes, I have responded saying PayPal monies received safely, thank you.
So all is good with the world :+1:

Hi Everyone,

By way of an update, this event for 30 people is now all paid up and thus closed out to any further takers.

Connor is sending me a Group Visit Form, which I will complete and send back to him and we will be all set for the 5th October 2025 :wink:

Best Regards

Hi Mal.

I know it is a bit late but we are now available after a last minute diary change.

If you are able to add us I will forward the money.

Tug and Clare.

Good morning Tug,

Just back off our holibobs and now catching up with things. I have emailed Conor and said you will pay him direct.

I have sent you the contact details via text :wink:

Best Regards

Mal

Hi Mal this is super cheeky as I’ve been quiet for ages and I see the “sold out” post- but if it is possible to add one more car and 2 people, could we be considered please? Happy to book direct with the site, or be on a waiting list if anyone drops out.

Cheers, Rob

57

Hi Rob,

Really good to hear from you and we would be delighted to have you along :+1:

The only thing is that at this late stage you may not be able to park under the Spitfire with the group, as they have an 18 car limit in this area and we have exceeded that but everything else is good. I will email you Conor’s details to sort payment direct, as I have already paid and he will add you to the list.

Best Regards

Mal

Hi Charli & Don,

Good to hear from you and yes, I had not added you to the list, as you had not confirmed your attendance, only that you were both interested in this visit. No matter, I have added you both to the list now and sent you a PM ref paying the venue direct :wink:

Kind Regards
