Yes I have to say not too many others? I thought Gavin was coming down I had a bag of goodies for him from the 912Reg in the US.. that I have had for about 1 year waiting to give him...

Glad the weather was good and the event was well attened. I have to agree with Paul £15 for the entry is a bit steep. and the money goes to the club not Beaulieu BTW..

If that's true it stinks. £15 per person when the Porsche Festival was £15 and the Silverstone Classic £20

There wasn't many DDKers present but probably more than you realise.
Here's a handful. Probably five. Guess who.

And a tenner if you turned up in a van and paid on the day!

Guess who.

Ian, Charlotte, Mike, Alan and me.

But we get a better turn out on a Sunday blast.

sorry guys it just seemed an awful long way to go just for the day.. next year if we get a bit of warning i'll book something up and make a week-end of it as its a nice part of the world.

i could see about booking something for us if there was anough interest.

but, we talked about this approx i year ago and decided DDK wasn't yet big anough to carry it off on its own.

As far as I am aware the club or who ever wants the field has to pay to hire it. Then any money collected goes back to the hire'er

So I guess if you get lots of people well done you make a profit if not your stuffed.

That's how I remeber it anyway. I can ask the event lady next time I see her.

Good shots Doug.
What was the story with the blue car up on the trolley jack?
I saw it by the gate seemingly next to a puddle. Was it fuel?

Brian Hunt caught a fuel pipe on the catch for the gates in the centre of the road. They went down to a local chandler and bought a new T piece and has it sorted very quickly
