Andy, what's considered Rookie? I've 3 or 4 track days, some karting and used to marshal MGCC events so I know the flags well! I feel as though I'm somewhere between novice and intermediate? Rich...

Hey, Andy. What time will you guys be setting off on Sunday evening? Would be good to join the convoy, if the timing is right.

[Guillotine]

more likely to be afternoon than evening. aim for hotel at 7, so leave weston-s-mare at 3ish?

means time for shower before beer/steak.

not sure what tiime you'd need to leave to get there. Garrym could heading up with us (mine could be on a trailer so I can bring tyres spares tools etc) not sure yet.

I have familly that weekend; SOn is staying but I won't bring him as he'll just be frustrated not being in the car (15yr old)but I'll have to put my ol' Mum on a train back to London so not sure exactly when I'll be heading off.

I'll check with you and GarryM later next week to see if there is a chance of meeting up.

Hope the beer at this place is cr*p, so I won't be tempted to drink too much!

The beer almost certainly will be cr*p but the Chinese restaurant nextdoor used to be good.
I may even try and pop in for a

[Guillotine]

you're welcome, a few of the locals should be popping in and there's several of us there anyway.



...crap beer??? bngger!

[t40ora]

Chinese sounds good; and I always carry my Good Beer Guide so I'm sure decent beer will be but a short distance away....

PS Will anybody be dropping in on the SE London/NW Kent meeting in Dunton Green afterwards?

[Mr Jenks]

If you want really good chinese then good beer it is around 10TVR minutes away, my local Chinese and pub are always good.

[GarryM]

Looking forward to it Andy, I'll email you about a rendezvous. Be nice to meet up with Mr Jenks again too. Any other sprinters attending, Dave?

[Mr Jenks]

Not that i'm aware of. John can't make it and Tim's away. Dosn't look like Jes will have a car for another few weeks yet either. It's still a week away but I'm getting excited already.

[t40ora]

Mr Jenks; good chinese AND good beer sounds just the ticket. If I'm there in time I'll be up for it.

Looks like good weather for Monday Chaps and Chapettes.

Are there garages on offer for the early birds?

Maybe Andy could answer that...
