Thanks Andrew, very close to my favourite circuit - Cadwell Park!

Also quite close to Petwood Hall Hotel - Woodhall Spa where the Dam Buster squadron officers were later billeted. Happened to stay there for a few days in the summer - beautiful grounds and an interesting history.

Will put this event in the diary...

Will there be a professional track photographer there this year?

[Pete]

Hopefully, there was supposed to be one last year!

I can now confirm the prices for our action day on April 30th.

Full & Half days will be available like last year at; Full Day @ £159 and Half Days @ £89.

More details to follow soon.

Great Tim! I look forward to seeing you there.

Once the booking line is open, It will be advertised here first. Then it'll be all over FB & everywhere else as usual.

Hmm, might be tempted to do the afternoon session again, really need to get the GTM on track.

[Julian Harber]

Could we have the morning session on one circuit and afternoon on other i.e. Eastern / Outer circuits - it is only a matter of putting some cones across to mark the different circuit - Gives more variation than just circling round the outer all day

[Pete]

Sounds reasonable enough!

[mk1]

I have arranged the following with Javelin.

Morning:
Outer (faster / easier) Circuit.

PM:
Eastern (More technical, wiggly) Circuit.

Hope this suits.

Regards,

Mark

Our own Cliff Porter has agreed to act as official photographer for the day.

I am sure that Cliff will post here regarding this very soon.

Thank you M8. Note the pun Mark on Blyton 8.
I hope I can rise to the challenge and would really welcome comments from participants as to the sort of images they would like me to record, static or action on track so that I can plan my day and achieve my Fitbit count! (and get the Sun in the right direction to follow the cars "getting the wheels in line). I am reasonable good at panning shots - but have found no Gold yet.
May I also suggest that I produce an event CD of High res images from the event for distribution to all competitors, say £10 each with all proceeds split equally between MacMillan & if i remember correctly the Leukemia charity which Phil Anning is supporting. (My Mum had Leukemia and my step mother-in-law had the Cancer and supported by MacMillan so both charities are very close to my heart).
I will pay for the CD's and send them in bulk for to you to collect the donations and distribute to participants.
Maybe I will take some video but not so confident.
Really looking forward to being part of the event.
Cliff
ps For those of you of a certain age, a very good friend suggested that I might be "Wally" as in the "Where's Wally" book so look out for the red & white socks hiding in a flourescent yellow jacket. Might even get a red & white hat!
pps I will issue coloured windscreen stickers for preferred phot type.
ppps Close proximity shots will be pick & mix!

[Julian Harber]

Wow - Thanks Mark and Cliff we have a great mix of tracks and photo/vids to look forward too
