Angus recently told me they only have spare time in October. So if there's going to be one it will be fingers crossed that it doesn't p155 down again. Shame really, but i don't see anyone else offering to hold one.

Dropped in there for breakfast on way home from Hero Challenge1 rally in Tango 914 earlier this year
Ok I guess but not really my ( and therefore maybe our) sort of place - for the flash supercar orJDM brigade IMo.
They sure as hell didn’t know what to make of a 914…..

Been discussing this with Greatworth and.....

Given their schedules this year and our experience of weather we are thinking about missing Autumn and scheduling a day for 24 March, 7 or 14 April

This depends on what other events are on and members thoughts.

So give me your thoughts and we will try and get something firmed up and we can really publicise and push it given the time we will have.

Selfishly, those dates are great, both precede the hillclimb season.

Bad news is I will be penny-less after working on the cars through the winter, but this event just cannot be missed.

Happy to Marshal as ever.

The hope is to miss most things with an early season opener

7th April clashes with the James Blunt gig at Birmingham I think you said you had backstage meet and greet tickets for Bootsy.
