A cause that's close to my heart. Lost several family members to this and spent a bit of time fundraising for a local dementia charity when I did an unsupported cycle ride to Paris back in 2017.

Would get my vote.

Guessing we are a predominantly male group and a cause very close to my groin is Prostate Cancer UK but MacMillan is indeed a universal and worthy recipient.

Excellent news Pete, looking forward to it already.

If I can find a comfortable enough seat I might even bring a Mini :shock: :lol:

Any Cancer charity gets my vote Pete for obvious reasons, that said RAD is a great shout too…maybe both ?

Javelin are looking to confirm track prices shortly after the government dish out the pain in the Autumn budget on October 30th so we’ll have to wait until mid November before I can open up the booking page.

I’ll be driving up from Devon, it’ll be the first mini meet for JTO since Goodwood 2019.

Fair to say the prices will be going up after today’s budget, as will all small businesses but will await confirmation from Colin.
