 http://www.allmotortraining.co.uk/     6 PLACES LEFT go on have a go…

Hi Folks   

Looks like we will have 2 groups of 10 lets get a ladies team and a Gents team this would be a bit of competition thanks              

Venue;  Essex Skid Pan; Hollow Road, Kelvedon, Essex CO5 9DD

 Between Kelvedon and  Silver End. 

Come along to a Skid pan day cost per person £48 providing I get 10 people who would like to come along. Please can you let me know if you are interested in attending this event and when you are available so that I can orgainse the day for at least 10 people, or 20 people dependant on who wants to come,  payment in advance. I have to pay £480 for this upfront per session for 10 people. The cars that we use will be Sierra and BMW and it will be a 3 hour session (Maximum of ten people for a three hour session. Dependant on numbers, but you could have ten in the morning and ten in the afternoon)

Specialising in Advanced / Defensive driving skills, using coaching techniques to get the best out of each individual driver, building on their existing experience.<o:p></o:p>

Learning about what causes a vehicle to skid, will give you the <o:p></o:p>

ability and necessary skills to recognise and deal effectively with all types  of traffic road conditions, and put you in the drivers seat.<o:p></o:p>

The difference between a skid that momentarily frightens, to a skid that ends up in a disaster is often the inexperience of the driver.<o:p></o:p>

Adding to what Sarah says, I organised 4 sessions for North Thames and everyone who took part said what a brilliant time they had and many would want to do it again. It’s great fun, so go for it. There are some photos here - http://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/forums/t/16645.aspx

Grant

 Hi Grant

Will you be going to Goodwood soft top this weekend if so then you can pay me then or pay me on the day if needed as long as you definately come along then this will be fine, as I have to pay £480 per group of 10 people, and we need 2 more people for the 2nd group so if you know anyone that would like to come along they are more than welcome. Just drop me an email or post on this forum.

Cheers {#emotions_dlg.smile}

Sarah (Mazda Chick)

 Sarah

I won’t be going to Goodwood this weekend.

However I live a few hundred yards or so from Robert Gritten so I could pop money through hsi letterbox if you intend to see him before the event, or happy to send a cheque?

Re a couple of places: Give me a short while I might be able to persuade my Son & Daughter (if daddy treats them).

Grant 

Hi Grant

Feel free to pop the money round any time and I will pass on to Sarah

Robert

 Could you please add my son (Ben) to the list. Thank you
