Goodwood Revival Meeting (Revival) 2005: Goodwood
Estate, West Sussex
17th. September 2005
"Festival of Speed" and "Revival" form two essential parts of the Goodwood calendar.
As expected the FOS provided an excellent 3 day "escape" earlier in the year:

Unfortunately we only had one day to sample the delights of "Revival".
The weather was just fantastic. Not particularly ideal for jacket and tie, fluid intake (alcohol) was essential to avoid dehydration!
 What a perfect start to the day. Clear blue skies... |
...and a view over the industrial estate from the hotel window! |
|
|
First bottle of Veuve opened and consumed by 10:20. The slimming breakfast choice. |
|
|
|
|
|
Myles & Emily arrived |
|
|
|
Time for breakfast. Bacon roll combined with a modest sized glass of Pimm's |
|
|
|
The alcohol was having no obvious effect....
|
|
...except riding a merry-go-round with far too much enthusiasm at 11:00 in the morning! |

It had been at least one hour since we found an excuse for a drink! |
|
|
|
|
 New excuse: James & Matthew arrived... |
|
 "Just one small glass..." |
|
|
|
|
Glass became bottle... |
|
Life became notably more relaxed as the Champagne intake increased! |

Getting remarkably close to Champagne saturation after an extending drinking period...all day in fact!
|
|
|
 The end of a wonderful day. With the sun setting it was time to return to the hotel... |
|
Back at the jolly Marriott... |
|
|
...for supper and a few beverages! | |
|
Sunday: Different day, same weather! Just enough time for a spot of light lunch and boat shopping at Port Solent
