Thanks to Ted and Lucie and all the people who make these events go well
your hard work is much appreciated.
Im going to make a few comments as honestly as I can.
Friday Night
The meet and greet Bingo was a great Ice breaker and the quiz was a lot of fun.
It was nice to meet everyone from their different regions.
A big thank to Chris + Ken the “cheesey wotsits” secret weapons.
The only downside was I would not call a Bacon sandwich a “buffet” after a lot of people had traveled a long way,
something more substantial would have been better even if the ticket price needed to go up.
Saturday
I did not do the drives but People I spoke to said they enjoyed them
The Morning open pit lane didn’t work aswell as at Mallory, I only managed about 25 laps.
So I spoke to many people instead and even helped a very new owner find his fuse box and give him a fuse.
The Afternoon Sessions worked better and I think that 30 Mins was enough for most drivers I did sessions 2 + 7 and I was able to do 23 laps + in Both of them
It would have been Nice to see a pace car out for a few laps to give the Novice drivers some idea of the lines etc but I did not see that in either of my 2 sessions.
To Dankent + Phil I hope you enjoyed your laps out.
But on the whole it was a great way to introduce people to something more than a parade lap and show them that the risk is very low.
Well Done Nick and the MOT Crew + the MAX5 guys for the Hot Laps, Jonathon Blake + Paul Sheard for showing off the ability of their cars without intimidating the Novice drivers
I saw NO damage all day to anyones cars.
The Idea was to give First timers a taste of a trackday and not be full of More experienced drivers, and that appeared to be the case.
Saturday Night
Helen + myself met up with old friends after the track action but arrived at the Marriot for a chat and a beer just as the meal was finished. and lurked near the door
So other will have to give a 
to the full evening.
Sunday
Great venue, good to see a variety of stalls catering for the “Drivers” and there passengers ( I nearly said the Men and the women and that would have been bad
)
The Competitions had a wide range of cars in and it was good to see some real diversity.
The concourse is a great Idea for “original cars” and Best kept for cherished ones that have been lightly “personalised”
The Auto test was a great idea and started slowly until people saw that it was a lot of fun and no risk (other than a bit of dirt)
I had a fun time if quite a slow one…but I hope the sliding and the sound of a Supercharger whining at full revs made some of you smile
I ended up as rent a passenger for 3 other runs and was glad I was able to help ALL the drivers to a better time than my own …Even the Volvo
A Great day and Very little to Improve on.
Heres to Next years events…Think I will only be in 1 car for Cornwal @ the spring Rally
but I have already been approached about driving / providing runs at Prescott Hill Climb for the National…Mk3 race car Or UMA …Nah Both of em Sparkle will have to stay at home.
Thanks again
Alan + Helen
P.s PJ if you want a Hot Car Judge at either for next year drop me a PM
( All complaints in writing to Mr E Terry) 
--------- I will come round Saturday to clean it with my magic cloth.
a big thanks from me to the team and everyones hard work, you should all be very proud of yourselves it was a very successful event.
) I’m trying to think of one now!
