just receieved this from Virgin:-

Dear flying club member,

We hope you are looking forward to this Saturday's party. However, should you decide that you would prefer to attend on Sunday 12th instead, I can now confirm that we have decided to make your Sat 11th tickets also valid for Sunday 12th, so you can choose which day you wish to attend. There is no need to let us know in advance, please just turn up at the gate with your tickets.

As previously mentioned, due to the large numbers attending the party and likely heavy traffic, you may experience some delays on route to the site, and we therefore advise you to plan your journey accordingly. Rest assured we will be doing all that we can to make your entry to the party as smooth as possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the weekend.

Kind regards

flying club

If it wasn't for the meeting of V-Flyers last Saturday, Sunday would have been my day of choice.

I accept that the party isn't on as long, but six hours is more than enough time to see everything, and the lack of crowds / queues will more than compensate for your shorter time at the party.

Alan,

Yes, if you arrive within a couple of hours of the gates opening.
When we arrived at 12.01pm, we were directed to the Flying Club carpark, which is a very short walk from the entrance.

At the gate there was SRB 'meeting and greeting', he took the time to say hello and pose for photos if you wanted. I undrstand that as he wandered round the event during the day, he was also happy to stop and pose for photos on request.

As it is a Virgin party, there are alos 4 Elvis Presleys on stilits and Bart & Homer Simpson close to the entrance, willing to pose for photos ;);)
