There is to be a memorial service to Mike Hawthorn at Farnham this Sunday (St Andrews Church 1.30pm). Guests include Sir Stirling Moss, Damon Hill, Tony Brooks. Parade of cars through the town centre to include Ex Fangio race car and historic race cars sent from some of the worlds biggest collections (including Scuderia Ferrari).

I'm thinking of heading up, but just thought I'd mention it incase any other South Coasters were around.
