As a Member of one of Goodwood’s several Sporting Clubs, or perhaps a guest at the Hotel or House, a shopper at the Farm Shop or a first-time visitor to a ‘corporate’ event, you are probably aware of some of what Goodwood has to offer.

A sporting Estate in Richmond family hands since 1697, when the 1st Duke of Richmond (King Charles II’s son) bought ‘Godinwood’ as a hunting lodge, Goodwood is now the pre-eminent sporting destination in the country for motor sport and horseracing aficionados, aviators, golfers, fashionistas and foodies, not to mention that Home Farm is the largest wholely organic low-land farm in the UK. Goodwood, though, is an awful lot more than just the sum of its parts, and in Goodwood Illustrated we hope to portray the diversity of Goodwood life, reflect on what has passed, promote what is to come and give you the opportunity to experience just what it is that is so special about this little corner of West Sussex.

Please tell us what you think of Goodwood Illustrated. We value your feedback, critical or otherwise; email editor@goodwoodillustrated.com and we will take all comments on board for future editions.

Fragranced products come to Goodwood A chance purchase four years ago from a husband and wife team in Petworth has brought a specially created brand of natural skincare products to Goodwood. Colin and Kate Sanders of Artful Teasing are already supplying The Kennels with hand wash, hand lotion and shower gel, but their ability to make products dedicated and formulated to a client’s specific needs has meant a new range has been commissioned for use throughout The Goodwood Hotel, with products also offered for sale to customers and visitors.

Colin is a formulation cosmetic skincare chemist and uses mostly organic essentials oils known to benefit not only the skin but to lift the spirits as well. The combined blend of citrus and cedar is both refreshing and calming (and how appropriate for Goodwood whose magnificent cedars were first planted in 1761), though the oils are not distilled from English cedar. And in using Kate and Colin’s products, Goodwood is also supporting small co-operative communities world-wide from whom the essential oils are sourced, offering traceability of genuine raw materials.

obviously it was great to raise so much money for such an important cause.”

“Edie was a star!” exclaimed her trainer, George Baker, who was equally as pleased with the win as the model herself. “She had a superb attitude and took it all very seriously. To see her commitment was just fantastic and all the hard work paid off – a great thrill.”

EQUUS TRIBUTE A THUNDERING SUCCESS

{ Introducing } Lizzie Vinnicombe Walk into the Farm Shop and you’ll be greeted with a smile – and a fund of knowledge on all that is on offer. For Home Farm Operations Manager, Lizzie Vinnicombe, knows her produce, sourcing much from Goodwood’s Home Farm and others from reliable and reputable local sources. She will even tell you how to prepare some of the less-well-known products.

“We use a range of local suppliers to enable us to stock the best seasonal and local produce. Organic vegetables from Wayside in Oving, fresh fish from Jordan’s in Rose Green, traditional ginger goodies from The Incredible Edible Gingerbread Company in Angmering and local game from Penfold’s, Chichester,” she tells us.

On sale in the Farm Shop are Organic Turkeys and Geese. Turkeys are a range of Traditional breeds, composed of Norfolk Black, Cambridge Bronze, Bourbon Red and Slate Blue. All are recognized as slow-maturing breeds and, when cooked, the meat is succulent and moist, with a deep flavour and a fine texture. Says Lizzie: “We feel that once you have tasted a traditional bird, you will be very reluctant to return to a Supermarket turkey again. And our geese, the most traditional of birds for your Christmas roast, well, it has a rich and tender meat with the added bonus of the perfect roast potato made with a little goose fat!”

As for Goodwood Game, partridge and pheasant are prepared by expert butchers. “These birds are perfect for a wide range of winter warmer recipes,” continues Lizzie, “whilst our wild venison is a sumptuous, rich and lean meat with whole joints making a great roast as well as fantastic stews and casseroles – it’s available fresh from October to February.”

Changing seasons: although available all year round, lamb is much revered come Spring and Goodwood lamb is no exception. “Our lambs are a traditional Sussex breed called Southdowns and Nick, our Shepherd, is proud to have won numerous awards with them over the years (see page 8). They are allowed to roam and graze on only organically-certified land on the Estate.”

Lizzie is equally as excited about ‘foraged food’ – medlars, apples and wild garlic. The medlar, a fruit of yesteryear and resembling a squashed crab apple, makes a jelly that is fantastic with lamb and venison. “Our medlar jelly is made in the Estate kitchens with fruit that is grown here, too. The Estate’s garden department grows a variety of fruit and vegetables and any excesses are sold through the farm shop. But the location of our wild garlic crop is a closely guarded secret!”

GROG Members enjoy seven days of Arabian delights

The Goodwood Racehorse Owners’ Group (GROG) has become known for its exotic trips to racecourses around the globe, taking in the racing action in countries as far afield as Argentina, South Africa and Italy.

This March, 40 GROG Members joined Racing Manager Gail Brown on a trip to Dubai for a week of racing, socializing and meeting key players in the horseracing industry.

The week started with a very exclusive visit to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Dubai Stable which is notoriously private and rarely open to the public. Serena Kennedy was part of the group and remarked on the privilege they felt to have access to the yard, commenting: “It was a fantastic experience to see the inside workings of the famous yard and an opportunity that we wouldn’t have got on any other occasion.”

Members also paid a visit to Godolphin, the stable of Sheikh Mohammed, where they enjoyed an alfresco breakfast while watching the beautiful thoroughbreds during their early morning gallop. In 2008, Members experienced a similar visit which was made even more memorable when champion jockey Frankie Dettori joined them for croissants and coffee.

No GROG trip is complete without a good measure of the sport itself and the week gave Members plenty of opportunity to take in some of the racing action at Dubai’s new Meydan racecourse. The course, which had only just opened, has been built to accommodate 60,000 spectators in an impressive 1.6km long grandstand. During one of their visits to the course Members were lucky enough to witness an unforgettable moment when Henry Cecil’s horse Twice Over won the prep race for the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest race.

Delighted at the success of the trip, Gail said: “Dubai offered our Members world-class racing, and the perfect winter break.”

Dedicated to providing GROG Members with the best racing action around the globe, Gail is already in the midst of arranging a 2012 trip to Spain followed by a trip to Hong Kong in 2013.

Golf At Goodwood hosts PGA title Golf At Goodwood’s ambitions to raise the profile and increase the ranking of its Downs Course, and become a good championship venue to test top golfers, took a significant step forward in late October as it played host to the best professionals in southern England for the crucial end-of-season C&K Group Southern PGA Championship.

It was the first time the new three-day, 54-hole event had taken place on the Downs Course, which hosted the English PGA Championship in 2010.

For Golf At Goodwood Members, one of the real draws of the event was that the preceding pro-am contest at the start of the week offered the unique chance for any amateur golfer to get a team together to play alongside the professionals.

Eddie Bullock, Non-Executive Director of Golf At Goodwood and current Captain of the PGA said: “The pro-am offered an extraordinary opportunity for Golf At Goodwood Members to show off their course and get to play a round of golf with some pretty well known professionals, getting great coaching and useful advice on shot selection or short game. Lord Walter Gordon Lennox, the 6th Duke of Richmond’s son, who was Chairman of the PGA

in 1914 said that: ‘In no other sport were amateurs and professionals on such intimate terms’ and this event brilliantly demonstrated that.”

The leading 80 players from the South Region Order of Merit were eligible to compete, and for the Golf At Goodwood Members who were spectating, it was inspiring to see some of the most celebrated figures in competitive golf taking on the challenge of their Downs Course as they strove to win the title.

Crowd-pleasing favourites included former European Masters Champion, Jamie Spence, Portuguese Open winner Michael McLean and former Trinidad and Tobago Open Champion Gary Stubbington.

The event was won by Henry Aldridge in a play-off with Andrew Raitt. Henry won with a par 3 at the second extra hole and with it takes the title of C&K Southern PGA Champion.

It was Henry’s first victory in a professional event and having completed his training he is now a fully qualified professional. “Obviously I am delighted to win,” said Henry, “but I’ve been incredibly impressed with the course, and I really like what the team is doing here at Golf At Goodwood. The club has such a friendly atmosphere.”

In a tense play-off, Henry Aldridge (left, and above with PGA Chairman Eddie Bullock) beat Andrew Raitt (top) to win the C&K Group Southern PGA Championship at Golf At Goodwood’s Downs Course

IT’S BEGINNING TO TASTE A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Goodwood’s hampers make a fantastic and thoughtful present all year round but at Christmas they really do come into their own. Home Farm Operations Manager, Lizzie Vinnicombe

explains: “We love this time of year when we can start up our ‘production line’ of hampers and get them winging their way around the countryside; everything in them is specially selected either by us for our pre-filled hampers (small, medium, large and connoisseur) which are available online, or our favourite bit – spending time with customers as they select their own items to go into our tailor-made hampers.

“Customers tell us every year that coming into the shop and browsing our well-stocked shelves is always great fun; that way you know that the recipient of your hamper will be totally delighted with your thoughtful gift.”

Working with their trusted suppliers, the farm shop team makes sure that everything going into the hampers matches the same high standards reached by all of Goodwood’s own farm produce. Lizzie adds: “Of course,

we highly recommend our own puddings, mincemeat, chutneys, pickles, lager and ale.”

The hampers are something pretty special to behold too; the wicker comes from the Chinese Willow Tree which is very fast growing and is grown from ground level and cut back each season which makes it very environmentally sustainable.

“The wicker grows really abundantly throughout the northern hemisphere,” Lizzie explains, “but is actually native to China from where our wicker is sourced. The wicker products in the region where our suppliers buy it are the main source of income for villagers there so we’re happy that our trade with them benefits the whole community,” she says. “Customers say that the hampers become very useful around the house long after all of the contents have been devoured and enjoyed!”

The perfect Christmas Gift for them… or you!

Looking to give something different to your loved one(s), or even yourself, this Christmas? Goodwood can be relied on, of course, to think of something unusual for you to give (or receive, if you want to drop hints).

Here’s a round up of just a few of our ideas to make your family and friends love you more...

Let them take to the skies in one of Goodwood’s state of the art Cessna 172 light aircraft and take in the stunning winter countryside below. Flight experiences cost from just £99 for two people; you can even take the controls yourself to see how well these beauties handle. To book call the Flying School on 01243 755066 and quote FLY11Christmas.

If you’ve got a teenager to buy for, why not thrill them and please the parents with a course at Goodwood’s new MINI Drivers sessions?

This is the UK’s first dedicated young drivers’ programme based at the motor circuit supported by a fleet of MINI Ones and fitted with dual controls. The programme teaches trainee drivers in a controlled, safe, traffic-free environment so that they are fully prepared to deal with today’s demanding roads and driving conditions. Young drivers progress through seven missions under the expert tuition of approved driving instructors making sure they learn safe driving skills. There’s no age restriction; the young driver just has to be a minimum of 1.5m (4ft 10in), and Prices start from £99. See p9 for 2012 dates.

If another kind of horsepower is more appealing to someone on your gift list, have you thought of buying them Horseracing Club membership for 2012? This Christmas, Brenda Hamilton, the Membership Secretary, is offering the chance to pick up a full year without having to pay the joining fee – a rather handy saving of £150. This makes the cost for next year just £309 instead of £459. See the website for full details of membership benefits.

Executive chef, Tim Powell explains: “Venison has higher iron levels than any other red meat, it contains good omega 3 fats and less saturated fat than a skinned breast of chicken, which means it’s very good for you.

Deer roam freely around the Goodwood Estate which means their meat has a great strength of flavour.

“You cook venison in the same way you would beef but, because it has a lower fat content, it’s sensible to marinate it before cooking. Good quality steaks and tenderloin can be pan-fried but avoid overcooking it.”

To maintain maximum succulence, renowned Victorian cook, Mrs Beeton in her Book of Household Management recommends serving venison on very hot plates as venison fat has a high melting point.

Ironically, cold venison is not nearly as nice as cold beef for this same reason. Excellent partners to serve with venison include; juniper, gin, red wine, port, rosemary and redcurrant.

Did you know that turkey is a relatively modern dish to serve up at Christmas? For many centuries, families would have gathered around a table to be served up with goose, pheasant or, if they were very lucky, venison over the festive period.

Meat from deer has been a prime ingredient in the cooking pot of our ancestors since prehistoric times.

In fact, the term venison (from the Latin, venari meaning ‘to hunt’) originally meant any meat from a wild animal. In his diaries written from 1660 to ’69, famous social observer, Samuel Pepys speaks highly of venison dishes on many occasions, including: ‘Mr Moore and I and several others being invited today by Mr Goodman, a friend of his, we dined at the Bullhead upon the best venison pasty that ever I eat of in my life, and with one dish more, it was the best dinner I ever was at.’

Ice-cold thrills

at 80mph Cresta Run is the Daddy GRRC Members have their chance to prove they can tame the most fearsome of all ‘toboggan’ runs

Driving holiday scales new heights Over 100 years ago, some of Europe’s finest roads and mountain passes first played host to the Alpenfahrt Rally, a gruelling motorsport challenge for hardy souls and their trusty steeds.

And in 2011 a select group of Goodwood Road Racing Club’s modern-day hardy souls and their trusty steeds enjoyed a week-long reenactment of this great Alpine adventure.

Owners of precious metal from the likes of Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari and Jaguar, took on legendary passes high up in the Austrian Tyrol and Italian Dolomites, giving them the

chance to retrace the steps of intrepid racers of old, passes such as Nockalmstrasse, Susten, Julier and the famous Stelvio and Grossglockner.

Organized by Club Secretary James MacNaughton, the trip was a huge success, with weather to match the stunning scenery and idyllic locations of the nightly rest-halts – well-known ski resorts such as Pontresina, Kitzbuhel and Interlaken.

“Is there a better way for a driving enthusiast with a great car to spend a week than on these sorts of roads?” James asks rhetorically. “We politely warn drivers that this is not the Gumball Rally but tell them

to enjoy themselves and take care. Some of the roads are very quick and some of the drops are very big!”

GRRC member Ian Maxwell-Scott, who this year took part in his fourth road trip with his beautiful Aston Martin DB5 Drophead, gave an amusing address at the end of the week: “We’ve been conned,” he said to the assembled female passengers, “conned into chauffeuring you around some of the most beautiful roads in Europe. We’ve driven you from five-star hotel to five-star hotel, from spa to spa, from bar to bar, with lovely food and wine, and a little shopping. And all without a thought for ourselves!”

Plus-fours to the fore as Revival Golf returns to the Downs Course It was a case of pulling on the plus-fours and dusting off the niblicks as the invitation to ‘step back in time’ just down the road at the Motor Circuit was extended to adventurous Members to take part in the fourth Revival Golf Challenge.

Some 44 players of all standards took part in the 18-hole better-ball event. They wound the clock back to enjoy the game as it would have been played in the elegantly Edwardian era of James Braid, the five-times winner of the Open Championship, and the designer not only of Goodwood’s beautiful Downs Course but also of Gleneagles and Carnoustie.

Vintage golf takes away from competitors the undoubted advantages of modern technology and equipment, and instead gives them the unprecedented opportunity to test their ability playing with traditional hickory-shafted clubs, all while dressed in the more formal golfing attire from the early 1900s.

Leaving their graphite clubs and modern day golf bags at home, Goodwood Members instead favoured pencil-thin carry bags filled with brassies, spoons and niblicks, with whippy shafts and small persimmon heads – all slightly trickier to get to grips with than their usual Big Berthas. This made the wee dram of Johnny Walker Blue Label all the more appreciated at the half way house!

The competition was won by Chris Kerr and Martin Pettifer, just pipping Tim Pearson and Geoff Bleasby. Taking fourth place in the Club Championship, playing off an impressive five, Chris and Martin have been Members since 2007.

Chris Kerr said: “Goodwood must be the only place in the country that offers the chance to be part of a magical event like this. Everyone was transported back in time to a special golfing era when life was a bit more gentlemanly; it was a charming day and a wonderful accompaniment to the Goodwood Revival.”

Twenty Members of the GRRC will be enjoying the ultimate adrenalin junkie’s rush of a lifetime when they take on the notorious Cresta Run in St Moritz from 8 to 11 January.

The ‘Cresta’ is an ice run which is threequarters of a mile long, that winds its way from above the ‘Leaning Tower’ in St Moritz down a steep gully through 10 testing corners, past the tiny hamlet of Cresta, to the village of Celerina.

The first run was completed in January 1885 and each year the run is still built over several weeks from scratch using the natural contours of the valley and earth banks to provide a framework on which to pile the snow.

Lord March himself is a great fan of both the Olympic bobsleigh and the Cresta Run. He proudly describes doing both for the first time, on the same day, as the grittiest thing he has ever done!

Beginners start from ‘Junction’ and are encouraged to go down in a time of between 65 and 75 seconds (the record is 41.02 seconds).

Riders brake using the rakes on their boots and if they are out of control they are certain to go out at Shuttlecock, the most famous corner of the run. Fallers at Shuttlecock automatically become members of the exclusive Shuttlecock Club and are entitled to wear a Shuttlecock tie.

The Cresta Run visit is the latest ultimate topdrawer experience for GRRC Members. The real joy of the run for Members will be sharing the adventure with their friends from the Club.

Ordinarily, a group of enthusiasts would never have the chance to test their mettle on this extreme sports challenge; the opportunity for a collective crack at the daddy of winter sports is entirely thanks to Lord March’s close and personal involvement with the St Moritz Tobogganing Club.

James MacNaughton of the GRRC commented that the visit sold out within hours, so is advising Members to secure their places for these special one-off events as soon as they can, in the future.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

Bride Charlie Elmy, ready to surprise her party guests

Not many people arrive at a fabulous black tie 30th birthday party only to be told that they are there under false pretences, but that’s exactly what happened to guests recently assembled at Goodwood House.

Billed as a surprise milestone birthday party for Charlie Kirk Elmy, guests had barely sipped their first Champagne before fiancé Paul Britton stood up to speak. Surprise bride Charlie takes up the story: “I was hiding behind a door with my bridesmaids who were in on the secret. He told them all that he had wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for me but that, as they all know, I’m such a control freak that would have been impossible. He then announced that, in fact, the surprise was on them as they

were all to drink up and follow him to the Long Hall where, in 10 minutes time, he and I were to be married! Well, you can imagine, everyone just screamed with shock and delight as they found themselves not at a party at all, but at our wedding!”

Charlie and Paul were duly married and there followed a fantastic afternoon-tea-style wedding breakfast – Charlie’s favourite – complete with Jimmy Choo-style birthday cake organized by her mother for her (which was an actual surprise!)

In the evening they had dancing to a live band and bacon butties to round everything off.

Charlie and her new husband are racing and leisure Members at Goodwood and her father is a Member of the GRRC so they didn’t want to hold the wedding

anywhere else. “I can’t praise Gemma Partridge Brown enough,” adds Charlie. “We didn’t give her much time to plan things but she remained totally calm and in control the whole time. It can be a very stressful time for a bride but she made the whole planning experience absolutely perfect.”

“On the day itself, all of the staff couldn’t have been kinder and more professional and they even made me up a food parcel to take back to The Goodwood Hotel as they noticed I hadn’t had time to eat very much; I really appreciated that but it was just one example of how well they looked after us.”

Charlie’s now thinking of how she can top this for her 40th party. “I don’t know what we’ll do,” she says “but I do know it’ll definitely be at Goodwood!”

{ Introducing }

James MacNaughton

Some of the social-event highlights of the year for many, the top racing action at Goodwood race meetings attracts the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Courtney Love and Saffron Aldridge

A RECORD-BREAKING

RACING SEASON Thoroughbred Head-to-Head The most beautiful course in the world has always known how to serve up the most beautiful racing in the world, and the 2011 season was no exception, as record after record fell

With 21 race meetings and an action-packed programme both on and off the course, the 2011 racing season at Goodwood has been one of the most memorable and exhilarating in recent years.

The pinnacle of the season was undoubtedly the much-anticipated clash between reigning Champion Canford Cliffs and the new star Frankel in the Group One QIPCO Sussex Stakes. Billed as the Duel on the Downs, over 21,000 racegoers watched as Frankel spectacularly rode to a five-length-clear victory.

Trained by Sir Henry Cecil and ridden by Tom Queally, the outstanding performance extended Frankel’s unbeaten record to eight races and positioned him as the top racehorse in the world.

“There was enormous hype in the lead up,” Queally said. “It was fantastic to live up to all those expectations and deliver a good win.”

The unforgettable occasion was witnessed by new Racecourse Managing Director, Adam Waterworth who commented: “The atmosphere as the horses went down to the start was just electric and the race itself was simply breath-taking. Frankel got the sort of reception you very rarely see in any sport.”

The Frankel team was obviously in fine form this season as it also went on to win the Markel Nassau Stakes with Midday and achieve a Group One double. Clearly not wanting to be eclipsed by Frankel’s momentous victory, the filly gave a gripping performance on the final day of Glorious Goodwood and made history after winning the Group One race for the third consecutive year, a record that has never been seen before.

Another record was also set by the successful Hughes and Hannon team who, despite their defeat in the QIPCO Sussex Stakes, still came out on top and retained their titles as Goodwood’s leading jockey and trainer of the season.

“Goodwood seems to be a lucky course for me,” commented Richard Hughes, who for the second year running was presented with the top jockey award at the end of the Festival week. “It was a great experience to walk away with the award again this year. We will now be getting our ammunition ready to hopefully take the prize again next time.”

Richard Hannon was also rewarded with the BlackRock Dick Hern award for leading trainer for the fourth consecutive year, an unbeaten achievement for the Herridge-based trainer whose victories include Dubawi Gold’s win in the Group Two Betfair Celebration Mile.

Reflecting on the past season, Clerk of the Course, Seamus Buckley, commented: “Glorious week was the best I have experienced in my 17 years of working at Goodwood. The QIPCO Sussex Stakes was definitely the highlight.

I have never seen two horses receive such a magnificent reception from the crowds as Canford Cliffs and Frankel did. It was a privilege to be a part of it.”

The 2012 racing season kicks off again in May and consists of 18 racedays including the ‘Three Friday Nights’ meetings and the Glorious Festival from 31 July to 4 August.

The Dick Hern Trophy is awarded annually at the end of the five-day Glorious Festival to the event’s leading trainer

It’s not everyone who joins a club to pursue one of their favourite passions in life, only to end up running it, but that’s exactly what happened to Goodwood Road Racing and Aero Club Secretary, James MacNaughton.

James, who was living in Kent at the time and working as a UK Sales Manager, had always had a strong interest in all things automotive and aeronautic so was one of the first people to sign up to the newly formed GRRC back in 1998. He picks up the story: “My wife and I had been to all but one of the Festival of Speed events and whilst there in the summer before the very first Revival meeting, we noticed some information about a brand new club formed for likeminded car fans like ourselves; we joined and the rest is history!”

In fact, James and his wife Kerry were so bowled over by that first motor circuit revival event that, having driven down just for the first day they subsequently came back for the remaining two. As a couple they went on to attend many of the GRRC’s track days, trips and parties. James explains: “We were really much taken with the idea that we could have a special enclosure at the two motor sport events as well as being able to join in with all the events mapped out in a very packed calendar with people just like us who love their cars.”

But it wasn’t until 2004 that James got the chance to take over the reins. “Obviously I was a very committed GRRC club member up until that point and the thought of being able to immerse myself in it all as my actual job was just too good to pass up!” James laughs. Today, it is James and his team of three (Alison Sweet, Kelly Hudson and Rachel Hillyer) who deal with all admin, renewals, event organization and trip planning for not only the 5000-member strong Goodwood Road Racing Club but also, since 2008, the Goodwood Aero Club as well.

James explains, “With both clubs having a shared interest it made sense for my team to be the focal point. The Aero Club has 800 Members and as such is one of the largest aviation members’ clubs in the country. Both sets of club Members enjoy special areas at Goodwood events – the GRRC at the Festival of Speed and the Revival, and the Aero Club at the Revival only but this gives them an excellent vantage point and a place to meet up with friends in comfort, year after year.”

Such is James’ commitment to his Members that he is now studying to gain his Private Pilot’s Licence. “I’ve been doing it for a while now,” he says “and I’m really enjoying it; you get to see the glorious Sussex countryside from a totally different perspective.”

Both clubs both have very busy annual itineraries. GRRC Members can attend events at the motor circuit as well as around the UK and in Europe, and The Aero Club has some great events including model airplane flying at the aerodrome and grapefruit bombing!

Dressage training is open to all In 2012, Goodwood is introducing The Molecomb Stud Rider Training Camp, which will enable horse owners to bring them to Goodwood and have training sessions with John and Charlotte Lassetter, a couple renowned for their involvement in the dressage industry.

The Lassetters were first introduced to Goodwood when John met the current Duchess of Richmond, who was a keen dressage rider and who continues to have a strong passion for the sport. The Lassetters soon relocated to Goodwood and now, more than

When Goodwood honours a marque or car it has a tradition of upstaging all other celebrations. That unique style was further emphasized with its tribute to the iconic Jaguar E-type at the spectacular Festival of Speed, which saw 181,000 visitors and more than 100 star drivers and riders pass through the gates. The signature centrepiece sculpture was the first to be inspired by a single machine and totally dominated the skyline.

“It’s the most beautiful car ever made and, like Concorde, an iconic British design moment,” said artist Gerry Judah who has created show-stopping works at the Festival for the last 15 years. “The toughest bit was sourcing the tubing. It weighs 175 tons with a 90 ton base. If it’d been any heavier it would have ended up in Australia!” Despite the sculpture’s patriotic theme, the event had a very strong American flavour, thanks to the Indianapolis centenary celebrations. The largest gathering of ‘Brickyard’ legends outside America saw a stellar line-up of 14 drivers with 25 Indy victories between them. Triple winners Bobby Unser, Johnny Rutherford and Helio Castroneves headed the homage with a magnificent set of machines led by the Marmon Wasp that gave Ray Harroun the first win

25 years on and with the support of the Duke and Duchess, they have developed a highly successful dressage training, competition and livery yard in the heart of Goodwood Park at Molecomb Stud.

“Dressage is both an art and a sport which requires skill, discipline and a desire to achieve excellence,” Charlotte explains. “The training weekends will be focussed on helping dressage riders to improve their technique whilst being based at the luxurious Hotel.”

The training weekends will commence on a Friday evening at the Hotel, where guests will be welcomed

in 1911. The Indianapolis Hall of Fame museum sent a record seven cars from America. Goodwood events always have a great sense of theatre, and for the Indy tribute a specially liveried Chevrolet Bel Air pace car, marching girls, and a band heralded the salute each day before guitarist Jeff Kollman played the Star Spangled Banner from the roof of Goodwood House.

Since the first Festival of Speed in 1993, Lord March has ticked off many of his dream drives, but this year he had a dream weekend with a go in the 1100bhp ’68 Lotus 56 4WD Turbine STP Special, the Pratt & Whitney-powered Indy sensation that Joe Leonard drove to pole position and nearly won with.

“I had a heart-stopping moment in the Lotus when the red flags came out on my run,” said March, “but holding it on the brakes while the engine spooled up and then letting it go was an amazing feeling.”

A diverse collection, ranging from early nautically inspired coachbuilt beauties to a special E-type set was presented in the rather more tranquil Cartier Style et Luxe. Lorenzo Ramaciotti, director of Fiat Style, headed a group of celebrity judges including Jonathan Ive, Apple’s Vice President of Design.

very presence sustains the uniquely characteristic downland landscape.

Goodwood has a long tradition of breeding and showing Southdown sheep, with the Dukes of Richmond serving as patrons of the Southdown Sheep Society for many generations.

Nick’s success enhances Goodwood’s reputation for producing some of the best-quality lamb in the South of

England, achieved by careful breeding within his two ‘families’ of Southdowns.

Even the wool is valuable, much of it being exported to Japan for stuffing futons. Of the thousand-plus ewes on the Estate, only 45 are Southdowns, the rest are cross-bred mules which are in turn, though a careful breeding programme, being crossed with Southdown rams to improve quality.

Train to be the Best Molecomb Stud, set in the heart of Goodwood Park, has been home to the Lassetter’s dressage empire for more than 25 years in true Goodwood style with a lavish dinner in preparation for the next morning’s training session at the Molecomb Stud. Riders will have the opportunity to participate in a gymnastic jump session or alternatively can enjoy an escorted hack across the undulating South Downs, later followed by a pre-drinks talk with Champion dressage rider, John Lassetter. Individual training sessions will also take place throughout the weekend to give participants the chance to experience intensive one-to-one instruction. Full livery will be provided for the

visiting horses at the Molecomb Stud, just a short stroll away from the Hotel.

This will not be the first time dressage has been staged at Goodwood which was once synonymous with the sport. For 21 years, Goodwood hosted the International Dressage Championships and as a result many of the world’s greatest dressage horses displayed their skill against the backdrop of Goodwood House.

Now, after 18 years, the Lassetters plan to revive that association with their equestrian training camps for dressage enthusiasts. Call the Hotel for more details.

When the trustees of the annual Lourdes Pilgrimage were looking for a location to host an inaugural fund-raising Ball, they began a hunt around the Arundel and Brighton diocese.

“We needed somewhere suitably… upmarket, that was as convenient to get to from southwest London as it was from Brighton, Crawley or Bognor,” says Clare Fogarty of the organizing committee. “To be honest we were struggling. We looked at the usual ‘corporate’ hotels, but they just didn’t feel right, then a friend recommended Goodwood, but we thought ‘we can’t afford a Stately Home – that’s way out of our league.’”

Nonetheless, keen to find the right venue, Clare and colleague Amanda Hadley paid a visit, and were completely overwhelmed by the whole experience.

“We were treated like Royalty,” says Amanda [not surprising really – Goodwood has been used to hosting Royalty for hundreds of years] and given a full tour of the State Apartments.

We talked food and wine options, Hotel packages, timings and so on, and suddenly it all seemed possible. We did the budget, worked out that we could afford it, built a website specially for the event and then the big push for ticket sales began.”

The Rosary Ball, hosted in March, was a sell-out and a huge success for all concerned, raising more than £30,000 for the charity, which takes sick and disabled pilgrims and their carers to Lourdes in southwest France every year.

“I have both organized and attended quite a few of these events over the years,” Clare told Goodwood’s Event Planner Michele Sanderson afterwards, “and I can assure you that the Goodwood formula is a superlative one – the stunning venue, the excellence and passion which you exude when growing, sourcing and serving good food and finally, lastly and most importantly, the sheer quality of your staff – the care and consideration which they showed all our guests on Saturday, from the youngest in attendance at 11 years of age, to the oldest in his 80s; everyone was impressed with the kindness and sheer attention to detail which each member of your staff on duty exuded.”

York Mystery Plays come to Goodwood v

A recent art acquisition links Goodwood to York. It’s a fascinating story, for the artist, John Merton (1913-2011) was a distant cousin of the present Duchess of Richmond and used her as a model for the Madonna in his beautiful painting, which illustrates a York Mystery Play. One of the most prolific portrait painters of the 20th Century, Merton had previously created a beautiful silverpoint drawing of The Duchess (then the Countess of March) which her father gave as a wedding present to The Duke (then the Earl of March).

The Mystery Play painting is executed in Indian ink on a gesso panel and was commissioned by Bradford College for their Lady Chapel as a war memorial. However, the project was abandoned by the College, so it was bought by a member of the Wills family and was subsequently bought back by the artist. The angel is the artist’s wife and he used his children and dog as models for the other figures.

09

The Curator of the Goodwood Art Collection, James Peill, explains how the painting came to his attention. “It was a natural step for Merton’s daughter to approach us when he died, to see whether we would like the painting in which The Duchess appears. I went to have a look at it at the artist’s home in Wiltshire and was very taken by it.

We bought it from his daughter and it now hangs in the Music Room at Goodwood.”

Several other paintings have been acquired for the collection this year. James Peill continues: “I keep an eye out for Richmond-related items all the time, as do my friends and contacts in the art world. Whenever there is something interesting, I will show it to Lord March and we decide whether it is a suitable addition for the collection and whether we can afford it or not.”

Other purchases in recent years have included sketches by Charles Ryley and the original candelabra custom-made for the Egyptian Dining Room.

A Taste of Goodwood Glorious Goodwood is famous for being the pinnacle of the racing and social season; this year the excitement, style and glamour were epitomized in its very own cocktail, The Glorious.

Created by Tanqueray, part of the Diageo brand and Goodwood’s new Estate partner, the sumptuous cocktail was served throughout the five-day Festival on the lavish green lawns of the racecourse at the stylish Tanqueray Bar. Inspired by the Mint Julep which has been the official drink at the Kentucky Derby for generations, Lord March commissioned Tanqueray with the task of developing a cocktail that is both quintessentially English and synonymous with Goodwood.

Tanqueray rose to the challenge and came up with the perfect English garden party accompaniment, mixing their dry gin with the refreshing and classically British flavours of pressed rhubarb and apple with just a hint of elderflower. You can even make it yourself...

Recipe for The Glorious • 35ml Tanqueray London Dry Gin • 15ml Elderflower cordial • 75ml Pressed rhubarb and apple juice • 15ml Fresh lemon juice • Dot of rhubarb bitters Pour 35ml of Tanqueray London Dry Gin into a shaker along with the Glorious mix, shake and strain into a hi-ball filled with ice.

Top with a dash of soda and garnish with crushed ice and a slice of rhubarb.

REVVING UP FOR CHRISTMAS The dates are out for two of the hottest fixtures in the Goodwood festive diary; Thursday 8 and Friday 9 December will see Goodwood House all dressed up for the annual GRRC Christmas parties.

“Once again we’re holding our parties over two consecutive nights,” says Club Secretary James MacNaughton, “to make sure as many Members as possible can start the festive season with a bang.”

The black tie evenings (with tickets cheaper than last year) begin with a Champagne reception, followed by a sit-down three-course dinner. Revellers then take a hot glass of mulled wine outside to watch a breathtaking ‘son et lumière’ firework display before going back into the warmth of the magnificent State Apartments for dancing to a live band until 1am.

“It really is a brilliant night and always makes me feel as if Christmas can really begin,” says James. “I love the chance to catch up with as many Members as possible on both nights, as does the Earl of March who will be joining us too.”

If you’re not a Member of the GRRC you are not forgotten! We are also hosting a Christmas Party at the House on 15 December for all Sporting Clubs.

Tom Queally on Frankel, currently considered to be the best race horse in the world, on the way to dethroning Canford Cliffs in the QIPCO Sussex Stakes during Glorious week

BRITISH RACING AT ITS BEST v

This year saw the introduction of the QIPCO British Champions Series, a major new premier series that was launched at Newmarket in April with the 2000 Guineas and culminated at the QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday 15 October, which featured more than £3 million in prize money.

The Series is made up of five championship categories over various distances, each throwing the spotlight on the seven highest-rated races of each discipline and showcasing the very best of British flat racing. Staged across 10 of Britain’s leading courses including Epsom, Sandown Park, Ascot, Newmarket and Doncaster, Goodwood formed a central part of the new initiative with the QIPCO Sussex Stakes, the Artemis Goodwood Cup and the Blue Square Nassau Stakes.

A keen supporter of the scheme, Adam Waterworth, who took over as Managing Director of Goodwood’s racecourse at the beginning of 2011, commented: “The British Champions Series has been a concept many years in the making. There has always been a feeling that racing needed to promote its leading races more effectively and come up with a way to raise the profile of the sport.”

So far, the initiative has proved hugely successful, with attendance figures for British Champions Series meetings up by an average of 6% across 2011 and peak TV viewing figures up by an impressive 18% in the same period.

James Oldring, Operations and Events Director at the British Champions Series, commented: “It’s never easy to introduce change into horseracing, or indeed any sport, but for the most part, the initiative has been welcomed by racing’s participants and fans in its inaugural year.”

With 35 races in total, one of the highlights of the Series took place at Goodwood when Frankel dethroned reigning champion Canford Cliffs in the QIPCO Sussex Stakes, the fifth race in the Mile division of the Series. The victory took the winning trainer Sir Henry Cecil to the top of the QIPCO British Champions Series trainers’ table with four winners while it enabled Frankel’s rider, Tom Queally, to move two winners clear of his rivals at the top of the jockeys’ table.

“The importance and impact that Frankel has had on the Series is immeasurable,” said Oldring. “He and, of course, his hugely popular trainer Sir Henry Cecil have taken racing off the back pages and into the public consciousness.”

The inaugural QIPCO British Champions Series came to a frenetic climax at Ascot on 15 October, where sporting history was made when Frankel, the best horse in the world, led the way with an awesome four-length victory in the £1m Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, so maintaining his 100% career record.

It will be fascinating to see who will emerge to challenge Frankel next year.

Period Goodwood Legends, Modern Prints Some of the most evocative historic images of period racing at Goodwood (and elsewhere) are available from JARROTTS. Available ‘raw’, mounted and inscribed or mounted, inscribed and framed, these are high-quality silver gelatin photos, individually hand printed to archival standard on fibre-based paper from the original negative and using the finest quality traditional methods and materials. Each individual

photograph takes over one hour to produce, every one with a slight variance in contrast and tone, therefore making it unique. Often, proprietor Martin Jordan has been able to get prints signed by the subject, and while many of the JARROTTS collection focus on ‘paddock and pit life’, with scenes of preparation and casual observance, there are plenty of full-blooded action shots from the glory days.

Fast-Forward to an Electric Future...

Changes to the rules in Formula One and the Le Mans 24-Hour race mean that in the future, these two giants of motor sport will be embracing greener technology and more sustainable racing. Goodwood has already been actively promoting low-carbon motor sport: for the past four years, the Festival of Speed has taken an automotive step into the future, showcasing new design concepts and sustainable technologies in the FoS-Tech Pavilion.

This is all part of Lord March’s vision for green motor sport at the event: “I’ve been keen to run a low-emission vehicle class up the FoS hill for many years, but this used to be a real challenge as suitable cars simply didn’t exist. Now, however, we are gradually attracting an increasing number of zero-polluting cars, so my dream to have a class full of such vehicles is now looking increasingly achievable.

“I believe that the Festival of Speed and the Moving Motor Show (MMS) can work as the perfect platform to promote future technologies and advances in reducing harmful emissions in vehicles. We have the very latest and best competition cars here at the event, all of which are increasingly considerate to

the planet. If you look at the smaller turbo-charged V6 engines planned for F1, they certainly promise all of the performance and excitement that today’s Grand Prix engines offer, but with greater fuel economy and reduced emissions.”

So, can we expect to see Lord March sweeping up Goodwood’s drive in a hybrid supercar soon? He smiles wryly and says: “Gosh, that’s a tricky question to answer! Well, currently so few true electric and hybrid supercars exist, although I know many are in development. The hybrid C-X75 concept supercar that Jaguar unveiled in late 2010, for example, looks very exciting, with beautiful styling and performance to equal any conventional petrol-powered supercars.”

By supporting Greenpower at the Goodwood Motor Circuit (an electric racecar design and build challenge), Lord March is doing his bit to inspire the next generation of engineers who will be designing green race cars of the future.

He said: “It is very rewarding to see the young students’ ingenuity and creativity; and just maybe one day a Greenpower graduate will watch the electric F1 car they designed make its debut on the FoS hillclimb.”

DIJON CUTS THE MUSTARD Taking the plunge FOR TRACKDAY WARRIORS for a Mini adventure A group of enthusiastic drivers from the GRRC joined forces with long-standing trackday organizer RMA for a two-day summer trip to classic French circuit Dijon-Prenois.

The August expedition attracted 20 GRRC Members to the 2.3-mile Burgundy venue, which hosted six Formula One World Championship Grands Prix between 1974 and 1984.

Trackday regular Tim Morley took his regular weapon of choice, a Porsche 911 GT3, on the trip: “I’ve been a GRRC member for a long time and been driving around the world’s greatest circuits – including the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps – for even longer,” he says, “so the Club trip to Dijon was perfect for me.

“Dijon is a fantastic circuit in a beautiful part of the Burgundy countryside,” Morley adds. “It has some great, high-speed corners, lots of gradient and a very long main straight. Who can forget that classic wheel-banging scrap between Gilles Villeneuve’s Ferrari and René Arnoux’s Renault in the 1979 French GP?

“You get very good track time for the money,” he admits.

“It’s an open pitlane so you can go out as and when you like – apart from the lunch breaks. Some people are put off by the fact Dijon is a five-hour trip from the French coast, but it’s smooth, fast autoroute all the way, so a very easy journey.

“The important thing about trackdays is that everybody drives sensibly,” Morley emphasises. The Goodwood team is very good at making sure these days attract a good standard of driver and, obviously, some great cars. We had several 911s and Lotus’ ideal track cars – the Elise and very latest Evora S – with no precious metal getting damaged.

“The trip is superbly organized in association with RMA – there’s great camaraderie among drivers,” Morley continues.

“We stayed in the beautiful medieval town of Beaune, and had a big get-together on the first evening. Our wives and partners enjoyed shopping and wine-tasting, while we were playing! I’d recommend a trip like this to any Member with a suitable car who wants to give it a workout on the track.”

Fast, sweeping corners make Dijon the perfect trackday experience. Lotus even loaned the very latest Evora S for GRRC Members to try out

The nation’s favourite young Olympian, Tom Daley, swapped diving for driving and focused his attention on a very different set of speedos when he took part in MINI Drivers @ Goodwood – a specially designed programme which introduces young people to driving – at Goodwood Motor Circuit in August.

Tom received a MINI One D Hatch not long after his 17th birthday, and had been fitting in driving lessons around his diving and school work. He decided to take part in MINI Drivers @ Goodwood to practice and perfect his manoeuvres, and acquire some new car-handling skills that he cannot experience out on the open road.

One of the perks of the day for Tom was having his very own personal ‘Stig’ in the shape of instructor Michelle Witheyman.

Michelle was very impressed by Tom’s performance in the car: “Tom had driven a bit with his family, so we focused on the MINI Driver Missions he wouldn’t have been able to do on the open road, to give him experience of controlling a car safely in emergency situations. He did things like controlling the car during an emergency lane change, using our ‘emergency brake and avoid’ set up, and did slalom and reverse slalom – all in specially coned layouts.

“Tom brought a very strong discipline to his driving. He was incredibly focused and controlled and extremely precise in his manoeuvres; both his recall of every step of a new move, and his reactions were phenomenal. Above all, he brought a real excitement to what he was doing. He put bags of effort and enthusiasm in, and had a lot of fun. It was a real privilege for me to instruct him, and create a tailor-made experience which enabled him to enjoy doing something new.”

Tom, himself was delighted with the experience, commenting: “With the amount of travelling from home to the pool that I have to do, I’m obviously desperate to get my licence as soon as possible. The MINI Drivers @ Goodwood course was a brilliant way to learn and I’m looking forward to coming back for more.”

Flight fans fly the Sussex Sim Twelve Goodwood Aero Club and GRRC Members were able to live their dream of flying a jet in early October with privileged, exclusive access to a £10 million full-motion flight simulator near Gatwick Airport, thanks to the GAC-organized trip to Virtual Aviation.

All relished the extraordinary sense of realism: from the immense power pushing them into their seat as their Airbus A320 tore down the runway, to the adrenalin rush kicking in as they raised the nose, right down to the smell of the cockpit, known affectionately as ‘Eau de Boeing’ (irrespective of the ‘parent’ craft’s manufacturer).

Experiencing real-world flying in real time, Members marvelled at the flawless beauty of snowcovered Geneva, and tested themselves through engine failure, all in the reassuring company of their superb instructor – a working airline pilot

who loves offering expert guidance and sharing the authentic atmosphere of the cockpit with real enthusiasts, and all without leaving Sussex!

Jim Spry’s taste of the simulator last year made him hungry for more this year. He said: “For me, it’s about enjoying the pure pleasure of flying.

Being at the controls, it was exactly like I imagine it is to fly the real thing and having it all to yourself without any passengers just felt amazing.

It was incredible to try out the different types of planes and to simulate flying in snow and crosswinds or combating an engine fire. It was also great to be able to share the experience with a nice group of like-minded friends from both the GRRC and the Aero Club.

“Quite simply, the simulator helped me to rediscover the buzz of flying. I’m definitely going to come back for more next year – I can’t wait!”

MAGICAL GLORY DAYS

REVIVED v

Goodwood Revival Since 1998, when the hallowed tarmac of the motor circuit was ‘revived’, there has been nowhere better on earth for period drama

Haute Couture? Have it your way…

Ladies, we all know what it’s like surveying dizzying racks of party dresses as the almost insurmountable task of finding the perfect little black dress finally has to be faced in time for the upcoming party season. So, have you ever thought of actually making your own dress, one which is fitted exactly to your measurements and finished with detailing which you’ve chosen yourself?

DOUBLE TRIUMPH FOR GOODWOOD RACEHORSE OWNERS’ GROUP Dunlop performs magic, again Atlantis and Treasure are winning pair as GROG celebrates success

The Goodwood Racehorse Owners’ Group (GROG) has celebrated tremendous success this year after horses from both current schemes recently galloped to victory.

Goodwood Atlantis delighted Members of Scheme 18 with a triumphant win at Salisbury Racecourse on 11 August. Ridden by Ted Durcan, Atlantis overcame congestion on the course to win over his 14 rivals and secure £12,500 in prize money.

Hot on the hooves of Goodwood Atlantis was another win for GROG, this time for Scheme 17 who watched as Goodwood Treasure rode to a one-length victory in the JustBookies Handicap at

Lingfield Park on the 16 September. This is the second win for Goodwood Treasure who also memorably won in June 2010 at her home course, right here at Goodwood.

Despite a spectacular end to the flat-racing season, Gail Brown, Racing Manager of GROG is keen to point out that winning is only a small slice of the fun that comes with being part of an ownership scheme.

The group also offers racing enthusiasts an opportunity to be genuinely involved in all aspects of ownership including the training of their horse, the breeding and sales process.

The Duke of Richmond initiated the Goodwood Racehorse Owners’ Group in 1994, with the idea of making ownership accessible to everyone. Made up of around 160 shares, each scheme lasts for two years and offers racing enthusiasts the chance to enjoy the highs (and occasional lows) of racehorse ownership.

Getting the look at Goodwood Revival is just as important as attracting the right cars and aeroplanes

“It’s a fantastic event, which has a similar atmosphere to Indy and Le Mans,” said an ecstatic Kenny Bräck after his RAC Tourist Trophy Celebration victory on his spectacular Goodwood Revival debut. Driving a Daytona Cobra valued at £5 million-plus, Bräck, teamed with Danish Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen, raced to a popular win through a torrential downpour that turned the track into a skidpan. “It’s a beast, but in a positive way. With so much horsepower and so little brakes, it requires lots of improvisation. Roadholding is a constant battle.

The track here is very fast with short run-off areas that demand respect, but I enjoyed the thrill.”

Crowd favourite Martin Brundle, teamed with Mark Hales in Nick Mason’s Ferrari 250GTO, finished second in the TT, with Derek Hill – son of ’61 F1 World Champion Phil – third in the historic race debut of the Maserati Tipo 151. Owner Lawrence Auriana sent the fearsome 1962 Italian coupé from New York especially for the event.

Canadian Jay Esterer was another enjoying a dream Goodwood debut. Racing his 1966 Chinook-Chevy Mk2, Esterer held off a pack of experienced Brits in the Whitsun Trophy, the highlight of Saturday’s action. “We’ve owned the car for 30 years and it was once a road car before we restored it from a burntout wreck. I love racing it on these old style tyres – it’s like driving on a gravel road out there,” said Esterer after taking the chequered flag.

But Rolex Driver of the Weekend deservedly went to young Sam Wilson after his mesmerizing Formula Junior battle in the Chichester Cup (winning by less than two tenths of a second), and close victory over Gordon Russell in the Earl of March Trophy for 500s, the winning margin less than half a second.

Not a race winner but the focus of social activity in the paddock was Revival regular Rae Davis’ Gallicthemed team. “An invite to French R8 Gordini owners failed to deliver a runner for the St Mary’s, so we prepped one from scratch,” said Rae. His guest

Gail reflects that to this day her most loyal and long-standing member continues to be The Duke of Richmond himself, who commented: “I have been a member of Goodwood Racehorse Owners’s Group since it started. We have had exciting times over those years, watching many of our young horses carrying the historic red and yellow Goodwood livery to victory.”

Since its launch, the group has celebrated no fewer than 13 winners under the watchful eye of legendary trainer John Dunlop from nearby Arundel, whose record speaks for itself, with two Derby winners among a host of notable successes, and more than 3500 winners to his name over the years.

Long-standing member of the Goodwood Racehorse Owners’ Group, Ann Brunton, commented: “GROG is great fun! There is lots of action on and off the course. Everyone gets on tremendously well and we all look out for each other.

I want to be a part of every scheme!” Ann also paid homage to John Dunlop for their success over the years, commenting “we can never underestimate our brilliant trainer.”

No other event in the world has the unique feel of the Goodwood Revival, with great racing, lovingly considered tributes, theatrical cameos and aerial celebrations, not to mention star drivers from past and present adding to the fabulous mix

driver, Nicolas Minassian, loved the event. “I don’t care if we’re not at the front, but I can outbrake anyone,” laughed the Le Mans ace. Davis’ crew even found a Renault Estafette van, and rightly won Best-Presented Team.

But the Revival is so much more than a historic race meeting, and it was aircraft that many were talking about after the weekend. A Spitfire scramble, with 10 taking off on Sunday for a breathtaking flypast over the former Battle of Britain airfield, provided another unforgettable Goodwood moment.

To complete the 75th-anniversary celebration of the WW2 fighter, the 1929 Supermarine S6 Schneider Trophy winner capped the tribute to designer RJ Mitchell and his team. Highlight of the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation concours was a Boeing B-17 ‘Flying Fortress’; visitors queued up for guided tours of the famous WW2 American bomber – the UK’s sole remaining airworthy example, and the second largest aircraft ever to land at Goodwood.

Other tributes included a magnificent set of cars to mark 100 years since the birth of five-times World Champ Juan Manuel Fangio. The Fangio Museum in his Balcarce hometown sent the 1939 Chevrolet Coupe TC in which the Argentinian gained his first Carrera success and which helped him to hone his skills on dirt roads. Former Mercedes team-mates Stirling Moss and Hans Herrmann were among the special guests, appropriately driving a sensational set of Silver Arrows including a W196 Streamliner and the 300SLR that Fangio drove solo to second on the ’55 Mille Miglia. “He was not just the greatest driver, but one of the most charming men I’ve ever met,” recalled Moss. Sir Jackie Stewart relished the invitation to demonstrate the ’57 German GPwinning Maserati 250F ‘2529’, while other contemporaries included Tony Brooks and Maria Teresa de Filippis, the only woman to race against Fangio in a Grand Prix.

Ford also orchestrated a remarkable display to

celebrate a century since the first Model T was built in Britain. ‘Tin Lizzies’ led the parade, including a replica of the car dismantled and carried to the top of Ben Nevis in 1911. Prototypes, racers, commercials and tractors made a marvelous tribute. Rarities included Gordon O’Neil’s sole-surviving Carrimore transporter, featuring a Thames Trader cab and lugging a couple of Anglias. “My dad drove them in the ’60s,” said O’Neil. “We wanted to carry four cars, but the organizers thought we’d be tempting fate...”

Other new attractions included a classic scramble course at Lavant corner, much to the delight of Revival fan Murray Walker who cheered on seven Champion riders taking part in another special track parade.

Outside the circuit the Revival Car Show, judged by many to be the best and most eclectic classic event in the world, saw an astonishing array of cars, ranging from Edwardian Rolls-Royces to a trio of Ferrari 250GT SWBs and a Darl’mat Peugeot 402 roadster. Each year, the number of overseas vehicles

increases, with convoys from all over Europe.

Owners go to amazing lengths sorting outfits to match their cars, none more so than Olpha Gibbon who looked very Jackie Onassis arriving in her sleek ’56 Bentley Continental S1: “I’ve owned it 20 years and have been to every day of every Revival.

Everything Lord March does is so classy, but I really come to see the cars.”

The unique Goodwood Revival is confirmed for the weekend of 14-16 September 2012. As in previous years, admission to both Goodwood motor sport events will be strictly by advance ticket only, with 2012 ticket sales commencing on Saturday 29 October 2011.

As in 2011, young adults aged between 13 and 21 can purchase Festival of Speed and/or Revival tickets for half the full adult price. Previously all visitors aged 13 or over would have been charged at full price. Children of 12 years or under remain free of charge, as does all car parking.

Spitfire took its maiden flight in March 1936, and became the backbone of the RAF Fighter Command as the key front line fighter during the war.

The Revival is held on what was RAF Westhampnett, a key Battle of Britain airfield from which Spitfires were regularly scrambled. Integral to the period atmosphere of the Revival, Spitfires have moved and thrilled crowds with their aerial derring-do since its inception in 1998.

As part of the celebrations, in a unique twist, only Spitfires were featured in the air displays this year, which culminated in the special Goodwood tribute on Sunday when the Spitfires scrambled then en masse performed an emotional fly-past.

Foraging for Seasonal Food Gathering food from the wild, from field or hedgerow, invariably means it is as fresh as can be, is ecologically friendly (no food miles involved), and seasonal. And when a chef incorporates such a harvest into his menus – in any month of the year – taste will be paramount in his mind as he creates dishes to suit what he has gleaned. Paul Owens, Head Chef of The Goodwood Hotel and The Richmond Arms Restaurant, likes to know what is available to him around the Goodwood Estate and within the wild woodland, because he says “seasonality is important inasmuch as it takes the pressure off – plants and meat that ‘come together’ always taste good” – game will in fact have been feeding on the same wild plants as can be plucked for free, so they will complement each other.

Autumn brings wild mushrooms (served as a parmesan-topped garnish in pumpkin soup); cobnuts and chestnuts; crab apples, and an ancient apple tree in the Hotel garden with rosy fruit perfect for accompanying meat or as dessert; wild plums and blackberries for jelly or flavouring ice-cream. Wild game shot on the Estate – saddle of venison wrapped in pancetta and served with braised red cabbage, a roastparsnip purée and pickled damsons; or rabbit, pheasant, pigeon or red-legged partridge in a terrine with walnut bread. Even the rare, secretive snipe with its salty tang can occasionally be found in Goodwood’s lower-lying meadows.

All these gamey meats are perfect with earthy autumn and winter vegetables.

Come spring, and summer, and more delicate flavours are the norm. Wild garlic leaves accompanying red chard, cress and baby spinach leaves with young shallots and a soft, ripe goats cheese served with baby beetroot; hedgerow elderflower and wild-rose petals for cool sorbets; and pluckings from the herb garden which Paul planted only this last spring – he only has to step outside and his herb-harvest is waiting.

Lemon verbena, salad burnet, lavender, rosemary, bay, fennel, parsley, sage, chives and pungent mint – all for the snipping, all to add a subtle piquancy. Even some of these can be found growing wild, for all cultivated herbs were once ‘wildings’. And at Goodwood, foraged food is so often the best you can get.

A recipe from the Head Chef to try at home...

Tomato Consommé 3kg of plum tomatoes on the vine (if possible) 1 bulb of garlic 2 red onions, thinly sliced 2 bunches of basil A good pinch of sea salt 100ml of Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar

v

Cut the tomatoes in half lengthways and place in a large container. Crush the garlic and spread it over the tomatoes. Shred the basil and slice the onions and spread likewise.

Add a good sprinkle of sea salt and drizzle the vinegar over the tomatoes. Leave to infuse for two hours.

Once the mixture has started to bleed, place in a food processor and blend to a rough pulp. (If you blend the mixture too much it will make the consommé cloudy.) Pour the mixture into a cheesecloth, muslin or clean towel and hang overnight over a large bowl for the juice to drain through. Discard the pulp and you will have a clear consommé.

Adjust the seasoning and serve warm or cold. Perfect for an alfresco dinner with friends.

GRRC Members put on a slideshow Driving a powerful, rear-engined sportscar on a frozen lake 300km north of the Arctic Circle as fast as you can sounds like motoring’s own mission impossible. Except when you’re honing your skills on a Porsche Ice and Snow Driving Course in Finland.

The popular excursions to the Arctic Circle will again run in 2012, giving GRRC Members a chance to demonstrate car control they didn’t know they had in the company of professional instructors.

Two courses are available during February and March. For first-timers, Camp 4S (March 14-18) offers wannabe Markku Alens and Juha Kankkunens three days behind the wheel of Porsche’s 997 C4S – the four-wheel-drive Stuttgart supercar. You’ll learn to control this 380bhp machine at speed on a surface you can barely stand up on, all in a safe environment in which the attitude is strictly ‘entertaining education’.

For more experienced drivers, Ice Force (February 1-5) is a more intense course, with an increased emphasis on high-speed ice driving, including finding the right lines on a specially designed circuit, as well as perfecting braking techniques and steering/throttle application.

Both courses are laid out on a lake with metrethick ice and in air temperatures as low as -29°C. The cars’ special tyres are fitted with studs to help find grip. This is extreme driving at its most pure.

GRRC Member and Porsche owner and enthusiast

Stuart Daburn enjoyed his Camp 4S experience so much in 2010 he’s already booked to perfect his pirouetting at Ice Force early next year.

“It’s all very well being an enthusiast,” Stuart says, “but you need skill and experience to get the most out of driving fast these days. The Camp 4S course was eye-opening; I was amazed by what I could do with the right instruction.”

With just 12 drivers in each group, and six cars, there’s a strong bond between instructor and pupil, as Stuart explains: “You soon build trust in one another, especially on the ice circle, where you try to perfect the drifting technique around the instructor – who stands in the middle of the circle while you aim to keep the nose of the car pointing at him!”

If you fancy taking part in Camp 4S for a first foray into ice driving, contact the GRRC team.

It was all on the cards...

Subterfuge and Intrigue When GRRC Member Neal Anderson decided the

time had come to ask ‘the big question’, he knew Goodwood was the perfect place

When Emma Cowie accepted an invitation from her boyfriend, Neal Anderson, for a weekend away in the glorious Sussex countryside, little did she know that it would lead to something life changing for both of them…

You see, GRRC Member Neal had a surprise for Emma up his sleeve – or rather locked in The Goodwood Hotel’s safe – an engagement ring!

Unbeknownst to Emma, Neal had cleverly set things up in conjunction with Goodwood staff at both the Hotel and the House so that a perfectly ordinary Saturday morning would turn into a truly memorable one. Neal takes up the story: “I know that Emma loves fine art and I’ve always loved coming to Goodwood so I thought I’d try to combine a tour around the House with asking my big question. We’d been down to stay at the Hotel over the Valentine’s weekend so I persuaded her that an autumn weekend repeat would be just the ticket for us.”

Little did Emma know but Neal had nipped down from their Middlesex home the day before on the pretext of seeing friends in the Portsmouth area when really he was liaising with the staff at Goodwood to make sure the proposal went without a hitch.

“I can’t praise them all highly enough; so many people were in on my secret, even staff at The Kennels, and yet no-one gave the game away at all. I had taken the ring down with me the day before and they made sure it was all part of what Emma saw when she first walked into the Card Room; the scene of my proposal.”

After a leisurely breakfast on their private terrace at the Hotel, Neal and Emma set off for a tour around Goodwood House. “I told her that they had other people looking around so that she wouldn’t be suspicious,” Neal explains, “but it was very quiet when we got there!” This didn’t go without notice to Emma who says, “I did wonder at that point how come we were having such a brilliantly personal tour,

but Neal told me that it was because he was a GRRC member, and I believed him, which is a worry!”

House Guide Bridgid took the pair around the State Apartments, even making sure that she told the romantic story of the 2nd Duke and Duchess of Richmond and their long and happy marriage, before ushering them into the Card Room. Sales Manager Donna Morgan had made sure there was Champagne on ice, candles burning, flowers and, of course, a very significant small jewellery box on display. “I opened the doors to the Card Room then left them to it; it all looked so pretty and romantic,” says Bridgid.

Inside Emma realized at once what was happening and said that she just gave her thoughtful boyfriend a big hug. He went down on one knee in the traditional manner and popped the question.

Happily Emma said yes. “I’d even been to see her father the previous week to ask for his permission so everything was in place; it was a good job she gave me the right answer!” Neal laughs.

Home Farm wins prestigious awards v

It’s not surprising that Goodwood produce is so sought after; the careful methods used to rear cattle, pigs and sheep on the Goodwood Estate result in food which is so good that awards are continually forthcoming.

Latest recognition comes from the judges in the Great Taste Awards 2011, organized by the Guild of Fine Foods, who have awarded Goodwood’s organic Beef Fillet with Two Gold Stars.

to solve unique problems – there is nothing like it.

Once we are finished with the design and build of the vehicle, we start the development – where the driver’s role changes from engineering consultant to the centre of driving operations and testing.”

“The pressure on all of use is huge, as we attempt to do something that no-one else has ever done before, with the whole world watching. The emotion is one of great satisfaction, as well as great responsibility, in helping to make dreams come true – both for the team and for the millions who are watching and cheering us on, supporting us. The Land Speed Record inspires people in an extraordinary way and the driver is very lucky to be part of that.”

“For me, also being part of an engineering project that is entirely open in its knowledge sharing, is absolutely vital. We are aiming to reach out to a generation of young people and excite them about science and engineering. This works because we can be so open, sharing everything, including all of the problems, failures and discoveries. There is something intrinsically fascinating about sheer speed that reaches out to people and Bloodhound is the ultimate speed machine. This is how motor racing should be done!”

The fastest man on Earth, Wing Commander Andy Green, with the full-scale model of Bloodhound SSC. This will not just be fast; it will get to ‘fast’ very, very quickly. From a standing start, after 100 seconds it will be 10 miles away!

Enjoy a guided Estate walk On Saturday 19 November, you are invited to join Estate staff for a guided walk around the ‘working’ parts of Goodwood’s Estate, including the Forestry Yard and Home Farm. Meeting at the Farm Shop at 2pm, you will set off on a two-hour tour, returning to the shop for tea and cakes, for which there will be a small charge. If you’d like to attend, you are asked to book in advance by emailing sarah.stewart@goodwood.com, then just turn up.

So, what can Goodwood Members new to Bloodhound expect from the evening? Andy said: “It’s the sheer complexity that surprises people. The development and integration of engines and rocket – needing a Cosworth F1 engine just to run the pump, which will move 800 litres of oxidizer in 20 seconds.

Wheels pulling 50,000 G at the wheel rim, bodywork that takes 13 tonnes of aero load per square metre. Finding a perfectly flat desert 20km long and then, thanks to our South African hosts, clearing stones from 25sq km of surface by hand – a world record in itself.

“A car that takes five years of modelling work on a super-computer to design the aerodynamic shape that will allow us to exceed 1,000 mph on the ground. A car that will be 10 miles away, from a standing start, in 100 seconds. The astonishing list goes on. This is the magic of the LSR which really surprises and captivates audiences.”

One of the most exciting developments that Andy will be talking about is the truly spectacular testing of the car’s hybrid 18-inch rocket later in the year.

When the development 6-inch hybrid rocket was successfully fired in August, the engine roar was heard from several hundred metres away and through two bunker walls!

OUTSIDE

LEARNING v

The excited chatter of children climbing from their school mini-bus is a regular occurrence at Goodwood, using parts of the Estate as an outdoor classroom – an educational resource far superior to that of any theme park. Searching for acorns and chestnuts (perhaps planting them back at school), hearing rooks clamouring overhead whilst sitting in a clearing under the tall trees of Seeley Copse, making leaf prints, or maybe visiting Home Farm to see animals in their natural surroundings: any one activity can be a magical experience for a young child. Put in more prosaic terms, Goodwood offers schools and colleges a wide range of workshops and visits to facilitate Learning Outside the Classroom, using the rich variety of sites and businesses found on the Estate. Sarah Stewart, the Education Officer welcomes visits from all age groups – from nursery classes through to postgraduate students – and activities are mostly delivered through the West Sussex Countryside Studies Trust, a charity set up by the Duke of Richmond in 1976.

Here’s a great shot from 1907, the Ballroom set for a dinner party for 30, interestingly using the chairs originally for (and now to be found in) the Egyptian Dining Room, replete with brass crocodiles on the back rests. It was at about this time that King Edward VII, a regular visitor to House Parties at Goodwood, suggested the ‘scagliola’ walls in the Egyptian Dining Room, created back in 1802, be painted over, the golden-ochre marble effect possibly a touch too... avant garde for his Highness’ taste.

Fortunately, several years ago during refurbishments undertaken by Lord March, the Egyptian Dining Room walls were discovered to be beautifully intact under layers of emulsion, and the room was returned to its former glory. The Van Dyck masterpieces, and many others, still hang in the Ballroom exactly according to a plan penned by the 3rd Duke of Richmond and found years later in the attic...

Goodwood goes to market Right in the very centre of Chichester, on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month, you’ll find the Farmers’ Market, and in a prime location is one representing Goodwood. You could not fail to notice it; people walking past stopped, bought organic produce reared or grown on Home Farm, chatting about its provenance. What a wonderful way of bringing the very heart of Goodwood to the public, and of indirectly encouraging more shoppers to visit the ‘open-seven-days-a-week’ Farm Shop. Goodwood is also represented at Farmers’ Markets in Petworth and Midhurst on the 3rd Saturday of every month, alternating between the two venues.

Golf At Goodwood’s General Manager, Stuart Gillett, is the friendly, welcoming face greeting Members coming to play both of Goodwood’s excellent courses - on the Downs and in the Park.

Stuart has worked in golf for 6½ years, starting his career at the exclusive Bearwood Lakes Golf Club in Berkshire. He was delighted at the prospect of coming to work at the iconic Sussex course, and is passionate about the future developments for Golf At Goodwood.

He said: “I believe we have two very good courses here. The priority is to continue enhancing their quality and presentation.

Thanks to our partnership with Toro, we now have a brand new fleet of green-keeping machinery which will help deliver better course presentation and conditioning.

“What I love about Goodwood is that it offers a nice, relaxed, informal atmosphere to play with like-minded people and make strong, long-lasting friendships. The joy of our membership is that it is so diverse; if you’re young and working hard and really want to enjoy your golf in beautiful surroundings, whether you bring your dad or your kids to play with, you know they’ll feel right at home.

“Actually, we’re really looking to make it easier for parents to play golf with their children. We have coached over 150 children under seven years of age this summer, and we will be developing coaching even further in the future.”

Stuart is always looking ahead and knows that Members share his ambitions for developing Goodwood. He said: “It’s important to push Golf At Goodwood to the forefront of the golfing world, globally. We will achieve this by hosting different types of events and bringing to golf what I call the ‘Goodwood twist’ – that unique way of doing things that our Members really appreciate. The Downs Course is now ranked 77th in Golf World’s Top 100 English courses; it would be great to see it move up the rankings, increase its profile and ensure it receives the recognition it deserves.”

Back in the present, and Stuart has a golf day to run. “I love meeting the Members at events like this and getting to know them. I’m still finding the Downs Course pretty challenging, though.” With a twinkle in his eye, he added: “I clearly just need to play more golf...”

EQUINE FORM CAPTURED FOREVER v

Fiddian Green Raises the Bar Inspired by the Elgin Marbles, Equine sculptor Nic Fiddian Green has spent most of his life perfecting the horse head Nic Fiddian Green, whose monumental ‘Artemis’ Greek horse head sculpture adorned the Trundle then sat outside Goodwood House during the summer Horse exhibition, has produced a fantastic body of additional work over the last couple of years, all devoted to the horse’s cranial form.

With pieces ranging from 6in to 30ft high, his working of Still Water and Greek Head carry a tactile, emotional mystery. Some heads carry the patina of polished mahogany, some of worn leather, while others suggest dark stone or petrified ash. “What Nic has achieved is a pure mastery of the art,” says agent Gerry Farrell of Sladmore Gallery in London’s Mayfair. “Not only is he Britain’s most accomplished and innovative

equestrian sculptor, his latest pieces have elevated equestrian art to a new level.”

The key artistic genome in virtually all of Nic’s sculptures is the Selene Horse, one of the famed Elgin Marbles purloined from the Acropolis more than 2400 years ago. “I have redrawn the line of the horse again and again,” says Nic; “And what I discovered as the line changed, so did the volume and as the volume changed, the surface lifted and every plan strained and stretched, and when it settled it took on a new form, and the whole head was transformed.”

Nic’s pieces are finding homes all over the world as aficionados of the genre come to appreciate the beauty of the work.

Homage to hero Hawthorn Goodwood Road Racing Club Members this summer joined an exclusive party of visitors to the fabulous Mike Hawthorn Memorial Museum at the invitation of Member Nigel Webb.

Opened in April 2009 by Jaguar enthusiast and racer Nigel in honour of Britain’s first World Champion, the homage to Hawthorn houses a number of important ‘Big Cats’ raced by Mike, including the 1955 Le Mans 24 Hour-winning D-type, registration 774 RW. Also taking pride of place among myriad Hawthorn memorabilia is a faithful recreation of VDU 881, the road-legal racing Mk1 in which Mike lost his life in a road accident on the Hog’s Back, Surrey, in January 1959 just a few months after securing the world title for Ferrari. Now wearing registration 881 VDU, the Mk1 has undergone a 10-year restoration under Webb’s supervision.

Among the visitors was GRRC member and Jaguar enthusiast Malcolm Inglis, who enjoyed a whole morning taking in the authentic collection. “It was a superb trip – and all the more poignant as I went with Christopher Mistlin, who attended Hawthorn’s Alma Mater, Barfield School in Farnham. He and his father, who are Hawthorn fanatics, were hugely impressed with the collection.”

The Mike Hawthorn Memorial Museum is not open to the public, but viewings, via Nigel Webb, can be organized – particularly for like-minded enthusiasts.

Visit www.mike-hawthorn.org.uk for more details.

Return to Goodwood is Music to March’s Ears The Return to Goodwood march composed by Band Corporal Richard Sharp received its world premier at the Goodwood Revival. Richard joined his colleagues from the Royal Marines Band to play his evocative new composition, which won the national competition to find a march theme that best encapsulated the unique atmosphere and character of the Revival.

“This was my first attempt at composition since university,” he said, “So winning and getting my piece played was amazing. I took inspiration from march composers like Souza and Kenneth Alford; from looking at the Goodwood website, I knew the piece would have to be very traditional, and should have a robust, stirring sound.”

“Everyone wants the chance to be able to leave a bit of a legacy, so it’s great to know that my piece will become a ‘theme march’ for the Revival for years to come.”

Richard’s next composition could be for his second baby, due imminently, although he admitted: “Lullabies are not my strong point!”

REACHING FOR THE SKIES v

17-year-old Matt Gordon is a very determined young man. It’s true you have to have determination to achieve what he’s just achieved – gaining his private pilot’s licence despite his tender years; but it’s the road to that achievement which shows just how determined he is.

Matthew, who lives with his parents in Havant, Hampshire, first decided he’d like to learn to fly when he was just eight years old. “My grandfather did his national service with the RAF and used to talk to me about flying; I suppose it captured my imagination even then,” he says.

Matt mentioned then to his parents that he wanted to learn to fly and get his pilot’s licence.

“They jokingly said that if I could save half the money by the time I

Teenager’s Wings

Ambition and determination pay off for young student

could start at 14 towards the training and examination, then they would match it,” he laughs; “little did they know that I would take them at their word.”

From then on, the determined Mr Gordon saved any money he received for his birthday or Christmas as well as wages from doing small jobs. By the time he was the right age to begin flying with an instructor and logging those all important flying hours, he had the money. “My parents had to go along with it!” he adds.

Matt’s instructor at the Goodwood Flying School was Mike Norman who saw him through all but one of his lessons before he left Goodwood to pursue another flying role. We caught up with Mike to ask him what sort of pupil Matthew was.

“From the outset, I realized he had the right attitude and personality to succeed,” he told us. “He was totally focussed on gaining his PPL and given that he had to

stick at it for three years due to his very young age, he showed great tenacity throughout. He was very impressive and also pursued a lot of other activities; I never knew how he found the time for everything he does.”

Instructor Nick Genazzini then took him through his final examination; he said of Matt: “He certainly is a committed and super-driven young man.”

To gain a Private Pilot’s Licence, or PPL as it is known, a student has to complete at least 45 flying hours as well as take written examinations covering a range of topics including navigation and meteorology. On the day of the examination, the would-be pilot has to plan a route and fly the examiner on it before returning, demonstrating handling techniques and finally landing rather like a normal driving test. “I haven’t even started driving lessons yet!” Matt volunteers “I suppose that ought to be my next challenge”.

Matthew’s grandmother, Doreen has been a staunch supporter of his endeavours and was the first person to take a flight with him once he was able to fly solo. “She drove me to a lot of my lessons and has been very helpful to me,” he adds. “It is strange when you first go up on your own, you suddenly realize that it’s all down to you – but I’m over that now!”

The enterprising young man is now at Southdowns College studying A levels in maths, further maths, physics and computing and has a firm ambition to become – what else?

– but an RAF pilot. “I’d also love to have my very own plane one day – that’s a life ambition.”

The Art of Cheese From one to three is a remarkable progression in the new cheesemaking facility at Goodwood, with cheesemaker Chris Vowles creating unique gastronomic pleasures from the rich dairy-shorthorn milk produced at Home Farm. ‘Charlton Cheddar’ was the first cheese – available as 6-month mild, 12-month mature and now an 18-month extra mature. Every cheese is carefully hand-made and nurtured in the cheese unit that was built early in 2010.

Artisan soft cheeses are quite a different matter: they take less time to make and less to mature than the Charlton, but require just as much skill in the making. Only recently available is ‘Levin Down’ – an organic soft cheese which melts in the mouth, and the somewhat firmer ‘Molecomb Blue’ which varies from creamy to semi-hard depending on its age. These are little round 250gm cheeses – the blue is somewhat larger – that are eaten when young; very ‘moorish’, you’ll want to keep re-visiting the Farm Shop for a fresh supply.

Production schedules have meant that Chris hasn’t yet had time to enter Goodwood cheese for any awards, but he hopes to have some success at The Guild of Fine Food ‘World Cheese Awards’ – the largest cheese competition in the world – to be held at Birmingham’s NEC on

Levin Down is the latest soft cheese to be added to the Home Farm repertoire

23 November as part of the public BBC Good Food Show. It’s a long process – a true labour of love, bringing cheese to perfection, and that is what Chris has already achieved in the 18 months since he arrived at Goodwood. And whenever he has the time, he is experimenting with special recipes to add more delights to the Goodwood cheeseboard.

Farm Shop nominated for award No wonder members of the public have nominated Goodwood’s Farm shop for a 2011/12 Sussex Food & Drink Award in the ‘Best Sussex Food / Farm Shop category, for it goes from strength to strength.

Right at the heart of Home Farm (and now clearly signed), it is packed with an ever-increasing range of fresh produce reared or produced on the Estate or sourced locally – organic meat, milk, cheese, ale and honey – alongside an eclectic collection of local and seasonal goodies for foodie aficionados. This year has also seen Goodwood join the Farmers’ Market scene, at Chichester, Petworth and Midhurst.

Spring Sprint is Back for Easter Monday Traditionally, Easter Monday was always a top-class motor racing meet at Goodwood, and in 2012, it will once again be the highlight for many GRRC Members as the Spring Sprint returns. Last year was a huge success, attracting an eclectic mix of vehicles, and in excess of 2,500 enthusiastic spectators who turned up to cheer on Members racing their cars against the clock at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit.

All competing cars are grouped into classes of comparable machinery, with each class having two practice runs and two official timed runs. Cars set off at 20-second intervals from a standing start, stopping the clock by breaking a beam of light with their ‘timing struts’ attached to the front of the cars.

The 2012 Spring Sprint will once again be organized by the GRRC (now a recognized MSA Club) in conjunction with the BARC. The day runs to a 105dB static noise limit and a 101dB drive-by limit, and entrants must hold a current licence issued by the MSA to take part. Spaces are limited to 100 so early applications are strongly recommended.

AVIATION

IN FINE SPIRITS It is hard not to feel enthralled, inspired and moved in equal measures by the extraordinary aircraft displayed at the Revival each year. There can be no stronger collective passion for aviation than that shared by the enthusiasts of the Aero Club, and just over two hundred Members (including some from the GRRC) came down to the historic airfield at Goodwood on the eve of the Revival, for a red letter day in their calendar: the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation Launch Party.

This much-loved event is unmissable for Aero Club Members, because it offers not only the chance to spend a fabulous evening in the company of like-minded friends and fellow enthusiasts, but also the rare treat of meeting many of the pilots who fly these magnificent machines and, over a glass of Champagne, gaining an insight into the techniques of flying and the joys of owning them..

Members enjoyed their own private, exclusive viewing and upclose access to the awe-inspiring collection of over 30 classic and Schneider Trophy aircraft selected for the concours d’elegance.

EVENTS CALENDAR OCTOBER 29 Motor Sport tickets for 2012 go on sale 31 Children’s Halloween Party at Hound Lodge

The star of the show was the Flying Fortress B-17G, known as the ‘Sally B’. With a 104ft wingspan and 74ft length, ‘Sally B’ dwarfed most of the other aircraft displayed. The only remaining airworthy B-17 in the UK, the ‘Sally B’ was the second-largest aircraft ever to land at Goodwood. Guests swooned over other dazzling classics, including the iconic de Havilland Gipsy Moth, the more esoteric 1200cc Rollason Druine Turbulent, and the pocket-sized Taylor Titch aerobatic plane. Of course, much loving attention was paid to the aircraft which went on to be judged best in show: the 1935 Hawker Fury Mk 1 bi-plane (overall winner), the 1943 Fairey Swordfish (runner up) and de Havilland Beaver (third place).

Many of the Members really got in the mood, dressing in vintage RAF or American Air Force uniforms, and jiving to the ’40s beats of the swinging jazz band. Giving the welcome speech, Lord March shared fond memories of his grandfather Freddie March’s love of aircraft: the models that he made by hand, which are still on display in the Kennels, how Estate carpenters had hand-made wooden propellers for Spitfires.

The highlight of the evening was the spectacular aerial display by two Spitfires. Against the backdrop of a vivid orange sunset, the Spitfires dived and soared framed by silhouetted trees, Members luxuriated in the intimacy of the display and shared a collective feeling of appreciation that it was thanks to this glorious British aviation icon that the Revival was possible.
