Hi All

This thread will the for the attendees of the Next RAF Marham Driving day - I don't have moderator status to clean up so I think it could end up being a fairly long thread but I'll contact a moderator if required to clean it up.

The next RAF Marham Charity Track Weekend will be on 11th and 12th October 2008.

As before, only specific forums are invited so NO cross posting this event on any other forum.

Pistonheads have been allocated 60 Now 40 places for Saturday and 60 Now 50 places for Sunday.

Note - 20 places for Saturday and 10 places for Sunday returned to RAF Marham for issue on other Forums where they were oversubscribed and asking for more

£70 for a either single day or £120 for both days

Myself (& Doctor Fan - I hope will be assisting) Will be the only point of contact and take on the administration of collection of the PH members' details and payments. Please contact me in the first instance.

The deadline date for this forums entries is 12th September - obviously if it fills up before then thats the way it is.

Post up in this thread you attendance requirements and then send me a message with your details

please do not post your full details in this thread - message me with them - if for some reason the messaging facility doesn't work we will work summut out.

I will need the following details

If it can be sent in sensible formatting ie not all caps or all lower case I'll be very gratefull - I know it's more work for you but it means it's far easier for me to copy and paste the details into a spreadsheet and not make any mistakes re-typing it - I'd hate for a mistake to end up being a problem at the guardhouse on the day and result in someone not being allowed into the event

Cheques/postal orders can be sent (post dated to the 15th September 2008) at any time - when I have your details I'll send an email with address to send the cheques

Thats it for all the rules stuff - might seem a bit picky but the tips will help me keep up with everything and avoid me having a breakdown biggrin

Details of the event for anyone who hasn't attended before

RAF Marham Charity Track Day Weekend

RAF Marham would like to invite you to a Charity Track Day Weekend on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th October 2008.

The track uses a combination of the airfield's main runway and taxiways resulting in a track that is around 3 miles long consisting of wide, smooth tarmac and concrete with lots of safe run offs. There will be approx 1 mile of the main runway in use with many sweeping curves and chicanes along the taxiways.

The Track Days will run from around 9am to 5pm on both days, split into either 30 or 60-minute sessions depending on numbers of participants. All the necessary facilities, such as toilets, catering, drinks, marshalling, medical and fire cover to support the event will be on hand. The atmosphere and event is relaxed, enjoyable and safe.

All participants who will be going onto the track, either as driver or passenger, will need a helmet. Race suits are not needed, but natural fibre clothes with full sleeves and legs are strongly recommended. Cars must be safe and in road-worthy condition, with normal seat belts as a minimum, and a fire extinguisher secured safely in the car (a plumbed in system is not necessary). If the car is driven to the event then it must have valid insurance, road tax and MOT. For those driving open or soft top cars, irrespective of whether the hood is raised or lowered, it is strongly recommended that appropriate extra rollover protection is properly fitted to the car, unless the car's windscreen structure was specifically designed to provide such protection.

Please note, due to lack of space, only vehicles driving on the event, and tow vehicles where applicable, will be allowed access - all passengers must arrive in participating vehicles.

Note there are no noise restrictions: RAF Marham operates far noisier fast-jet aircraft through the week!

Entry is per car. Sharing a car is permitted (i.e. alternating drivers between sessions) and drivers are allowed to carry one passenger in the car onto the track, but passengers must also comply with regard to helmet and clothing and be over 16 years of age. All drivers and passengers will be required to sign a disclaimer. Spectating is not a possibility unless the individual is coming to assist someone who is driving - the reason for this is quite simple - the event insurance premiums and Health & Safety requirements go through the roof astronomically otherwise, so by restricting it to participants and assistants, it makes the event manageable, safer, more relaxed and enjoyable and importantly keeps the cost down to you.

Price is £70 per entry per day, or £120 for the weekend, with every penny going to charity. Payment must be made in advance, cheques need to be made payable to Service Funds RAF Marham and of course signed and dated. We are expecting a high number of participants so it is advisable to get your name down early.

It is important to note that the track does attract stones and if you drive directly behind the car in front along the main straights your car could be subject to stone chips. If you're worried about this it is advisable to fit bonnet protection or drive with this in mind throughout the event.

PLEASE NOTE: RAF Marham is a front line operational air base and as such, any operational commitments on that weekend would lead to the Track Day being cancelled. This is however quite unlikely but prior notice will be given and any money paid up front would be fully reimbursed.

Important:

For security reasons, every person entering the Base including all passengers must be security vetted in advance. To this end your forum organiser requires the following details and payment from drivers and passengers by 12th September 2008 (4 weeks prior to the event) to allow time for the security team to check everyone. The details required are listed below and it must be stressed that they will be held in the strictest of confidence. Please note that after this date, only changes to vehicle details will be permitted.

Don't forget all the money raised goes to some very worthwhile charities.

Edited to clarify passenger requirements - Thanks MG Mark

PH37.Kevin Bauckham - Toyota Celica GT (No Passenger) DR NCY

Entry in Bold = All done and dusted bar submission to Marham MP for checks

If NO "DR" against driver or passenger means I am waiting on outstanding details

"DR" & "NCY" = Details recieved & No Cheque yet (will be replaced with CR when cheque recieved)

Note where PHr's are doing both days I'll try to allocate same driver number for both days ie your number above will become PH # and that will be your driver number - I'll keep trying to do that till I run out of numbers

Please rememebr that the personal details of any passengers accompanying you as a participant must be included in your PMs to the co-ord, otherwise you will be leaving them at the gate on the day....

See you all there - I'll be going with the A and the usual crew of Midgets and Frogeyes, but under the Club Arnage banner. Thanks to Ian for picking up the PHEA co-ord role, and fingers crossed now for an indian summer, with maybe the odd light shower!

GGGrgrgrgrgrrrrrrrr

Now gotta decide whether to get the Griffith in for repair earlier missing August and September to be able to make Marham with fresh paint, or miss Marham completely by putting for repair at end of September.

Could put in for repair after Mrham, but it's really too long to leave it . .

Bugger !

I don't think there are any restrictions - ie post count or even forum users - I need a bit of clarification from GTR Gaz
