SAYING AS THERE WAS GOING TO BE TWO TOP TEN OPENS ON THE SAME DATE ONE A WEEKEND EVENT WHICH PRESUMABLY WILL C A LOT OF PEOPLE CAMPING! THE RISING SUN COMMITEE THOUGHT IT WUD BE BETTER TO CHANGE OUR OPEN RATHER THAN HAVING NOBODY TURN UP! I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE RISING SUN HAD THEIR TOP TEN OPEN IN 1ST OR WHETHER G& T DID BUT IT IS SILLY HAVING TWO TOP TEN OPENS ON NOT THAT FAR APART ON THE SAME DAY IMO IT WUD B DIFFERENT IF IT WAS WAY DOWN SOUTH BUT ITS NOT. HOPE THAT EXPLAINS WHY WE CHANGED THE DATE.

 

[wild whippies]

Well I'm looking forward to running at all 3 of these events and I think it's very sporting of the Rising Sun to move their event, enabling us all to race without having to choose. :cheers:

 

[Vicky]

Rolling of the track is starting next saturday ready for the open, we'll more than like do it a few times over the next few weeks as well.

Thankyou to Paul West mobile catering for his generous sponsorship. Paul will be providing breakfasts and food throughout the weekend for anyone staying over. I could do with an idea of how many are staying if it's possible so that a can book something for the Saturday night.

 

[Lolcoe]

Me n the boy Genie will be staying overnight!! :thumbsup:

 

[SmAsH]

[Vicky]

Only two weeks to go, doesn't look like we'll be in a mad panic to get water to the track like last year. It sounds like there's a few people travelling, quite a few stopping off at ours on their way up to Scotland.
