Talking of stickers, do we need a new 2015 logo? :idea:

Just noticed that Javelin aren't currenty listing entrants by seperate days. Must sort that, well over a dozen cars booked already!

We have a capacity of 60 cars, including special guest drivers. Entertainment will come in the form of a Works Mini slide show by Mike Wood (Friday night, not to be missed!) and Stuart Turner on Saturday night (details subject to change). As last year we will have food available on Friday and Saturday evening (all details to follow on a dedicated page). We'll have prizes for the best cars on the day, Mini only parking, club stands and Maximum Mini display. Camping will be available Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Just about a third full both days already in just one day! :shock:

We now have separate entry lists for both days on Javelin's website so we can monitor the situation.

Can I just express also that anyone going on track on Saturday only will need to vacate the paddock by Saturday night (plenty of car park space near the entrance). This rule will be strictly enforced by officers Pete and Mark Dibble!
