Samuri Gathering Tickets & General Information
A slightly belated Happy New Year to everyone, now we are all happily back to work and needing something to look forward to in the Spring it's time to let everyone know that this years big season opener will be taking place over the bank holiday weekend of Saturday 30th April, Sunday 1st and Monday 2nd of May 2016.
I think most on here will be aware of the previous three events, but for anyone who hasn't managed to attend its a fantastic weekend full of some amazing historic racing all 3 days and a huge and varied display from all the car clubs. Usually we have anywhere between 20 and 25 Z's on our stand which is IMHO far and away the best looking representation from any of the clubs in attendance.
The links below are to the DHF site and to my Facebook event page for those who are into social media.

I know there is some criticism of the ticket purchasing situation, however it's the way the event organisers run things so we are stuck with it I'm afraid, so here goes...
As in previous years I run this as a joint event with both Classic Z Register and Z Club of Great Britain (to maximise the number of cars on display) and both our clubs are registered again, so we now have a discount code for booking tickets which is
2016DHFZ
I think the event is great value for money, e.g. a full 3 day ticket costs (inc booking fees and standard postage) £52.35 which divided by 2 makes it £26.17 each for the full weekend entry and gets you and your car into the infield to join us on the stand. If you are sharing a ticket and both have cars for the stand then just request 2 infield passes when you order the tickets.
Car club ticket deadline
Please note the club ticket booking deadline of 5pm on
Sunday, April 24th - Don't leave it till last minute though as the organisers will not sell tickets using the discount code after this and it's a big saving on the gate prices..!!
The link below will take you straight to the advance ticket page for purchasing on line
http://doningtonpark.seetickets.com/event/donington-historic-festival/donington-park/924966
You must enter the code ZDHF15 and press the 'use code' button, then the prices on the page will change to our club prices, rather than the full prices originally displayed. At that point they will also be asked to request infield display parking passes.
Please note that car club discounted tickets are offered in multiples of two, and the price shown is the discounted price for one ticket. When you add two tickets to their basket, you will therefore be getting two tickets for the (full) price of one. If you want four tickets for the price of two full-priced ones, you must click '4'! Hope that makes sense...!
Children aged 15 and under (accompanied by an adult) get in for free. And each ticket gives two-for-one entry to the Donington Grand Prix Collection over the weekend and for the following two months.
Buying tickets over the phone
Our ticket hotline number is: 0844 873 7355 Your members will need to quote the car club code to take advantage of the club offer.
CAR CLUB PARADES
There will be one each day of the Festival, at lunchtime, featuring a maximum of 100 cars (across all clubs) each day.
ACCOMMODATION
Camping is available next door to the circuit - at the Donington Park Farm House Hotel.

If you do want accomodation I'd advise to book early as its very busy.
I hope that all makes sense, but as always if anyone needs any help with anything please get in touch and I will do what I can, thanks guys and lets hope we get another slightly warmer than last year, successful meet!
See you in May,
Cheers,
Jonathan.
