Great. Thanks folks. I'll tally up the numbers over the weekend and make it known how many spaces we have free shortly - though currently there is still space.

We still have some places spare on the Ginetta tour. I will be confirming numbers with the factory next week.

A few people have expressed interest in meeting up on route. Current suggestions are Birch Services (circa 8:45-9am) for those using the M6/M62 or Donington Park Services (circa 8:30-8:45am) for those using the M1. Other suggestions welcome.

Makes sense to meet up.

Put me down to be at Donnington for the time suggested.

I'll be travelling solo now Dave the Mrs has pulled out.

Rich, it might be yourself only at Donington as Graham Copestake is travelling in one car with 3 others and has now decided to meet at Ginetta (I hadn't appreciated that they were travelling together). If it is on route though I guess there is no harm in a Donington stop to see if others turn up. Nobody else has actually confirmed a preference so any others out there planning on meeting up on route, please shout!

Ok Dave may knock Donington services on the head. If anyone wants to meet further up North along the M1 (services etc) I'm good with that.

Everyone that registered interest has been emailed and/or PM'd over the course of the weekend (including Steve A, Mick). There are now 42 including a couple of reserves.

Arrangement is to meet at Birch Services M62 @ 8:45am or at the factory, Garforth, Leeds LS25 2DY ahead of the tour starting 10:30am. Please note that the signs for Ginetta at the factory are quite small, you are more likely to notice the LNT Group signage first.

Should also state that if anyone arrives late, the contact running the tour at Ginetta is Mike Simpson, their Commercial Manager.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday.

Regards,
Dave Watson
