Any more info on the runs yet?
I am holding off returning my booking form until I have been able to compare the runs on offer before deciding. Hotel is already booked however.
We hope to get details of the runs onto the Forum before the end of the month.

Short enough to be easy to learn
Hard enough to be hard to Master

Good to see you and Margie today. Hope all goes well on Thursday. See you at the National in September.

Likewise, great to see you too, bring on Sept 17th.
(have even gone back and corrected my ‘Faux Pas’ about your region ;-). )
Can you just go along to Silvestone to watch the track sessions? Is there a charge for spectators?
Spectator admission on Saturday is absolutely free of charge…
We have booked the track event in the morning and will do one of the drives ourselves in the afternoon (Northampton or canal).
Driving up from Surrey on the M40 on Friday evening, is anyone else going that way? Have I picked the right place for this enquiry?
So looking forward to this event, but shame to be missing out on goodwood revival, will have to do that next year.
A group of us from North Thames area are arriving midday at Billing on the 17th ,while the men go off to Silverstone for the track avents, the wives and partners would like to go on to the Aquadrome site for a few hours ,maybe using the lesuire facilitys ,can you confirm if/what the charge will be.
thanks

Sorry ,so far all men on the track from NT ,but in the afternoon.
An interesting question, with a complicated answer. Billing Aquadrome’s normal charge is £10 per car but no entry is allowed to the leisure complex (which is basically a bar and a swimming pool). The leisure complex is for the use of holiday home owners only, however, our deal with Billing gives all MX5OC members free access to the leisure complex on Sunday 18th September. Now, the weekend of 17th/18th September sees two events at Billing Aquadrome - ours and also the Honda Gold Wing Club’s annual rally; because of the latter, Billing may apply a surcharge to cars coming into the park on Saturday 17th. On the other hand, if you are camping overnight on 17th September, then I understand that the fee includes access to the park but not the leisure complex; however you can then visit the leisure complex for a “pay as you go” fee of £5 per person.
Confused? You should be - I certainly am

I just checked the listing, 44 men and ME!!! I’ve done a track day at Thruxton and Silverstone GP track. I went off on the grass at Silvrstone but straight back on again and I’ve now but now had new tyres fitted with a better grip - just need to wear them in over the next 2 weekends.
I’ll be in a red MK1 Arizona, WHO2 SMH, so wide berth please
And I thought The Matrix was confusing ??
Thanks all the same Ken. See you there.
