It sounds very old fashioned but I don't consider these pre booking/ ballot type events proper open days at all , more akin to a private members party

These the sort of private members party where people have to put their car keys in a bowl?

Would the pre-booking suggest that only a limited number of places are available?

 

[Bullfield WEst]

How and where do you book?

Did anyone else know about this sooner? I have been waiting for so long for this depo to be open and I am away this week

I'm going!

Booking closed yesterday.

Yes a few of us are going before the Lancashire day ranger meet

What's happening with that Lancashire day ranger meet? I'm on a North West Rover and haven't done much of Lancashire with it yet this week! (Partly intentionally)!

Booking closed yesterday.

It rather makes the question asked in the first thread somewhat superfluous since the thread was only opened at 1759 on Friday.

I went round a few years ago. Decent time but probs not worth a second look.

A couple of us fancied going to the DRS open day a few years back as we lived nearby but having missed the ballot deadline it seemed farcical that something like buying tickets on EBay seemed the only way to get in so I'm glad at least they don't do the ballot anymore

i only got the e-mail on friday to say i'd got tickets. i applied thursday night as saw it advertised on facebook. was a good event but think they could have advertised it better and as it was a show yourself round trip why the need to pre-book?

Presumably to control the numbers of people? It wouldn't have been ideal with large crowds.

I certainly had a good time - well worth visiting.

I think it's got more to do with modern day red tape , health and safety etc as I have attended hoards of open days and similar events over the last 40 plus years without ever needing to pre book
