We did the same Gordon, went to park up behind the pits and a marshal turned us round and the signing on was at the restaurant, Kings.... something, just before you go into the fenced off area.
Thought it was all very shambolic and not as well organised as last time where we had the signing on in the pit area.
Only because we had been round before did we know what to do, first timers didnt get any help.
Think I would have done the same as you, shame but maybe we can use the freebie to arrange another meet up and in the warm and dry, this time!!!!
