From the organisers

Dear all,

As you may or may not be aware, we have had to move the track event scheduled for April and July.

We are very keen to kick start this event back up to success it used to be and we’re very reliant on the continued support you offer. Please rest assured that we don’t make these decisions likely and we understand that any change of date has the potential to cause massive disruption to all involved. It is likely that this will be the only event of this type this year so we’re keen to fill it.

All we can do as a team is offer our deepest apologies and extend an invite to the next event. The next event has been planned for the 18th and 19th of Aug 2012. The reason for the gap between events is to ensure, as far as we possibly can, that the dates will remain available.

As way of an apology the previous offer is still in place.

As a very small offering we have taken the decision to discount the next event – It will now be £50 for the car AND first driver. All other drivers/passengers will remain at £10 per head (Max of 4 people in any one car). Any people wishing to book for the whole weekend will only have to pay £50 to secure themselves and ALL their additional entrants for the second day!

We will also be running the circuit in both directions so you effectively get two tracks for the price of one. We have also secured a rolling road for the Saturday and other facilities will be available all weekend including bodywork detailing and tyre repair/replacement/balancing.

Once again, thank you and we all hope to see you in August. It’s been a long time!

Regards

George

Other important info carried over from the previous event post

We on the track day team have listen very carefully to all of your suggestions over the years and we are pleased to announce a number of improvements to our event.

The first change is the new Marham Track Days Website. This website will have all the usual facilities for booking and paying (PayPal) for entry. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CHEQUES ANYMORE. The website will also contain all driving information, maps, photos of past events and FAQs. No need for moderators to collect details anymore. We will take all the info we need from our website.

The major change is to the format of the day. For the first time in our 7 year history we will be changing the track direction half way through the day (lunch break). This means that you get 2 TRACKS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!! This should help out with tyre, suspension and brake wear too.

We have 180 car places per day, 360 places in total.

BC's comments

The website can be found at www.marhamtrackday.co.uk

Although it appears to be down right now???

Once this is working I'm sure Marham will send out another email to inform all the forum contacts it's open for bookings

If you have any questions or queries, please get in touch with either Rob Swanson or George Denman, by emailing us at adminATmarhamtrackdayDOTcoDOTuk Or via phone on 01760 337261 x6514 or x7146.

I rather suspect with holiday/show clashes etc this will be a quiet one. Shame you can’t be there Ian (see you Thursday evening at Snetterton hopefully).

I think I should be OK for this new date.

First thing I thought when seeing those dates was oh no, that'll be the first Marham that Ian won't be at then...

Hurrah for a confirmed date, Boo for it being the same as RRG!

Gents. The site had fallen over due to a server crash. This should hopefully be sorted now. I've put registration live, any problems or issues please either reply here or email me through the site.

Long time coming is an understatement......

damn, can't make this - leave my job at the end of August, before starting a new one at the beginning of October, and as I'm currently contracted to weekends and all my holidays are allocated, I'll not make it. Still, I'll have a nice new motor to bring next year smile

website seems to be running fine though.

Calm down Chris! Having heard Ian's well-considered plans there will be an interesting outcome to this...
