Guys ,
I'm staying in Mason's Arms in Louth Sunday night, a meet up for a beer sounds good to me!

Will let you know where I'm staying as soon as I book! Mason's Arms sounded ok until they said that they'll be closing at around 6:30pm, no food and no bar on Sunday night!

I'll take it that either
a) no one is staying up there on Sunday night or
b) no one wants a beer with me

I'll definitely be staying in the Black Horse in Donnington-on-Bain on Sunday night. I'll definitely be drinking a beer or two there too. Be good to see you again as I've not seen you since Snetterton 2 years ago. . .
This'll be my first trackday since the nasty Tuscan/Armco barrier interface at Croft last year so I may be a little more circumspect than normal. So can everyone please give me plenty of space when they pass me . .

Why is that as soon as I book somewhere everyone else books somewhere else ?

Alistair H and I are both staying at Keddington House in Louth. So, who's travelling to meet whom?!?!
Dominic and Dave are aren't in the same place so I think a beer in Louth should take place. I'll mail via profile with mobile number.

(well, I would except B16Toy's email address ain't working!) Dominic, YHM

Have good time you guys, after three weeks of waiting, phoning, waiting, phoning, waiting and more phoning my car is still in bits... so i won't be joining you.
Bugger. I'm very rapidly losing faith in the company concerned ..
Sounds like an absolutely top day is going to be had by you guys too

Any more thoughts on a meet up? Must be somewhere in Louth that sells beer! It would good to discuss tactics especially with anyone who has been to Cadwell before
cheers

Don't worry, the feeling is mutual

Someone (professional?) was taking photos but I have no idea who. Anyone know?

If anyone has got a nice photo of my flame thrower exhaust then I'd love to see it...

Great day & very well organised, especially after doing non-TVRCC track days. I think the b@llocking at lunch for all drivers was spot on

it had rather a lot to do with the poor track ettiquette in a couple of the groups (the advanced group I thought was actually very good) and the same individual spinning twice in the morning then stuffing it on the road half a mile from the circuit at lunch time (No blame being cast as I don't know exactly how it happened but police attended - fortunately driver looked Ok. Don't know whether PHr or not but there is now one bent red Tamora)

(G6UNT) alias Mad Welshy

Less of it raceboy!

I was reasonably well behaved and someone even commented on my driving (for the right reasons!).

Very good day! Shame that one or two try to spoil it for the rest of us.

What a circuit! even managed to hassle some caterfields through Coppice and Charlies onto Park Straight.

Have you got the rubber off yet cirvy!

See you all at Oulton.

There were a lot of spinners & some poor driving from some of the novice groups i gather. Why dont they make it compulsory for first timers to receive tuition at some stage during the day, it surely would be to everyones benefit?

perfectly well behaved I thought (you pulled over to let me past so I'm happy!)....As I said, I don't think we had any probs in the advanced group (well, hopefully no one had any problems with me as I didn't have any problems with anyone else - only the Tamora which caused us to slow under a 'yellow' twice...
