Thanks Martin - we look forward to meeting you. If you could rustle up some decent weather by Sunday that would be grand

There are quite a few waterlogged fields round my way, so I'm going to check with the organisers this week to see if this has changed from a classic car to a classic boat event .....

[conrod]

I phoned the organiser this evening. The bottom end of the field is waterlogged, but the top end is currently OK. He understands the issues with high-powered, rear wheel drive, low ground clearance cars with no towing hooks (!), so he will move our pitch to the (tarmac) car park if the field isn't suitable.

I'm picking up the Thames Valley CRC banner from Roger Bailey tomorrow, so once that's up on the day it should be easy for you all to find the club pitch.

All we need now is for it to stop raining .....

As for attendees, we seem to have:

Me
Pete (Sidecarbod)
Eric (Osgood)
Jeff
Nobby
Noel
Martin M
Dale M

I'm hoping Steve Nellies (TourDeFrance) is also up for this - but I think he's on holiday again at the moment!

Have I missed anyone out?

Steve Nellies - Tour De France, who's he??

I'm giving up Stage 1 to Canterbury for this event :P :P

Me, but I'll be on my way back from the Nurburgring so can't make it. Hope the weathers good for you all.

Weather looking good guys, are we meeting up on route or just arriving as and when.

[conrod]

Jeff,

There a quite a few local guys, plus others in all directions - so it's probably best that we all meet up there at 10:00. I might shake the cobwebs off the Dax and take a reccie tomorrow. I suspect we'll be pitched on the car park with the bikes rather than on the field.

As you say, the weather forecast isn't looking at all bad. Fingers crossed.

Have sent off forms last week, should we have received anything back

Just spoken to Pete in Spain and have arranged to meet round his place on the way there around 10ish if anyone else is interested

Noel,

When I spoke to the organiser (Reg Cheney) the other evening he said that for the later entries they wouldn't send the passes out - but instead just issue them on the day. So that's the plan - but I'll be talking to him again tomorrow to check on the condition of the field.

Cheers guys.

Back from France boiling hot (sorry Jeff) should have gone south,
I beleive Eric has sorted me out for Fleet fingers crossed for the weather
Regarding Uxbridge I already have an entry pass
Are you all going straight to Fleet or meeting somewhere first?
