That included me. 
Bless her, the marshal who went to the wrong place hasn't been back, you know.

macca - we're so friendly you won't even notice the officialdom, except for at the start when you'll get to hear about the course.
It goes up here to the hedge, turn right and head down to the gate, then turn left on to the path that goes all the way around the golf course. Do a lap and a bit, turn left through the gap in the hedge and do your sprint finish. The finish line is the same as the start line.

is it really signposted from all over Leam and is it obvious where to park? I'll be coming from the M69, past Warwick uni exit and then the turm off to Leam (is it the A452?? - something like that anyway).

macca - head for Leamington town centre and then you need to find brown signs for Newbold Comyn. The entrance is off the Willes Road which you should get to if you follow signs for Southam from the town centre. If you get stuck, anybody you ask should know where Newbold Comyn is.
Once you get there, drive past the swimming pool on the right and a pub on your left, follow the road until you can go no further and then turn left into a car park. From the car park, you need to walk along the road you had been driving along towards a brick-built pavillion in the middle of some football pitches - that's race HQ and the start and finish point.

I can make the first part of those instructions easier.
Assuming you come into town on the Kenilworth road (the one from the A46):
Enter town and cross three sets of traffic lights (one junction and two crossings). At the end of the road go left on the mini roundabout. Pass a crossing and at the traffic lights turn right. In 50 yards turn left at the traffic lights into willes road. Follow round a right hand bend, pass a crossing then turn left at lights (sp Newbold Comyn) onto Newbold Terrace East. Follow to terminal carpark, park and follow the stream of runners to the pavillion.
Honest.
