Re: RIAT arrivals 2024

I went to P&V East last year with ladder. Plenty of space further back, didn’t have any issues finding a space (I arrived after 9:30am on both Weds and Thurs last year).

I haven't received my FRIAT passes yet. I just wanted to see if anyone else was still waiting and it's me being impatient or should I chase it?
