Events.

12th March - BoLOCs first Birthday
19th March - Donnington
31st March - rfoster is down so a burger or breakfast run is required
23rd April - Visit to Gurston Down to watch Hill Climb and support AndrewM
26th April - BoLOCs Lotus Factory Visit
29th April - PistonFest (anyone want to do this?)
28th May - Gurston Down Hill Climb
30th July - Wiscombe Park Hill Climb.

Please pencil these into your diary. The hill climbs are great and the cars are just incredible. There will be other stuff such as the Burger runs and breakfast meets. At some point in the good weather we will have to do a return to zig zag via the A350.

If you have any dates to add or ideas for a day out please add these to the list.

At some point before the grockle season get underway, I would like a day out at Beaulei to visit the motor museum. Any ideas when would be gratefully accepted.

Please remember the original purpose of the BoLOCs. We started this so at the last minute we could organise a blat. That is why we all have eachothers mobile number.

There is one simple rule, we will be there is there is fun so any excuse for a run, get together is a valid excuse.

Definitely up for this - just waiting for confirmation from the best man. But the plan would be to stay down until the Sunday (2nd) - wouldn't want to muck up your plans!

The problem with Westover track days is they are always on weekdays, and are more expensive than LOT.

Whilst Westover days are more expensive don't forget the benefits: Westover staff on hand, free tuition from James Steventon, Patrick Havill and others. Usually a great mixture of cars and people. Good circuits, although Goodwood seems to be off the menu this year. The other company I have had really good days with is Motorsport events, (www.motorsport-events.co.uk) They have days at Keevil and Hullavington, both are just over an hour North of Bournemouth near to Chippenham and Calne in Wiltshire. They tend to be cheap and chearful airfield days with open pitlanes so plenty of tracktime and vast run off areas so no damage.
