Would it be rude or cheapskate of me to ask if we have to pay to get in if we are exhibiting

(ducks, waiting for the ritual abuse from the usual sources.......)

cheapskate I know its an extra fiver to see the vulcan

[350Wedge]

The price is the same as everyone else i'm afraid (me included), its a fundraising event for the guys that run the Lightnings which only happens once a year. As you can imagine they are not cheap to run.

To give you an idea of costs its about £2000 to fill one with fuel (wingtanks only, if the bellytank is used thats another £2k!!) and this will last three runs total. After the open day 904 will be empty after the three runs.

Imagine driving to the garage and it costing £2k to fill your car up and it last less than a day!! (hmmm the way Brown is going it it this could soon be a reality

If the guys cover their costs for this event they will be very lucky, hence why i'm trying to get an extra attraction together for them.

In addition to the initial costs upfront.....(approx £10K not including fuel!!) they are desperately trying to raise funds to complete the Q Shed which will provide a dry and secure place to house the pair of Lightnings.... £40k is still needed to finish it off.

the Jade is the Chinese resturant on the racecourse oposite the Picturedrome, not sure what time, need to look at routes, and findout what time Tony wants us there

[Gun]

I might be able to come along in my 840, if that the sort of thing you're looking for.

[matt21]

i assume my 2005 cooper s is not an appropriate car

[stormin]

I'm hopefully coming too with the family, fraid we wont be able to bring the new Beasty and the Rover won't keep up with you guys.!!!

Looks like it'll be a good day out.

[350Wedge]

Thanks for the latest replies...

Yes I think an 840 qualifies but i'm afraid the cooper doesnt quite make it this time...

Will be great to get as many people along as possible anyway... Should be a day to remember....!!

[Gun]

I've been approved so see you all there
