INFORMATION FOR WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT SHOWBUS
Please note that those arriving after 11.45 will not be routed airside behind the Land Warfare Hall, the Pay Booths will be relocated just after the "Bus Gate" on the A505 and you will proceed into the site on the roadway with the Land Warfare Hall on your right and the Routemaster line up on your left. After 12.00 the booths will be manned by Museum staff, but not rally officials. You will need to find your own way, using the sitemap, to your parking bay. Call by Rally Control if you have difficulty doing this or do not have a rally number.

A reminder about the conditions for trading at the Imperial War Museum. All stalls arriving on board buses will be sited with the buses on the Hangar 3 side of Hangar 4 see map. Your vehicle will have a rally number between 100 and 110. If this has not happened, let us know immediately. The deadline for including you on the Museum's public liability insurance was Friday 19th September. Traders not insured through the Museum will not be allowed to trade.

The busiest time for arrivals is 10.30-11.30.
At this time we are parking buses at the rate of 4 a minute! We can cope with that with your co-operation.

Please help by following the pointers below:

Good news is that now the Baldock by-pass is open, it makes approaching from the west easier, use this approach if possible on the A505 making a right turn into the rally field. This avoidsany congestion associated with car traffic on the M11. Leaving in that direction is a good idea too, it is now an easy run across to the A1(M).
If possible arriving between 10.30 and 11.30 should be avoided
Have your rally number displayed before arrival, nearside front
Do not block the entrance by posing for photographers
Late entries, entries without paperwork and significantly changed entries need to report to Parking Reception in the Motts Coach before the Pay Booths.
At Parking Reception you will receive a Welcome Pack. Only one per vehicle thank you.
Have the Pay Booth admissions form completed ready with payment at the pay booths, the driver should have this to hand over - the forms will have been sent by post
If the number of passengers on your bus means you do not need to hand over any money, get into the RIGHT HAND EXPRESS LANE
When you park, the number on the ground should be positioned so that it is immediately below your cab window.
Once parked, visit Rally Control with 'Judging Sheet' and your letter to claim your Go-Ahead Rally Plaque .
Judging sheets should be handed in to Rally Control (not Parking Reception!) as soon as possible
