[Brandy Barrel]

Can i come in the BM as the weatfield still in bits, you know the case, when you do one thing then others jobs pop up, next thing you know, the chassis and a pile of bits are on the garage floor!!

[Moleman]

You will probably have to park in the visitors parking mate but we all pay the same to get in anyway. 

[Moleman]

They have asked us to be there by 9.30 am before they start letting in the public in so please do your best to get there on time. I won't do a meeting to go there in convoy as I have no idea what the weather is going to be doing.
I know 2 guys have stated they will be there later which should be fine having the odd person getting there later.

Just tell them at the gate when you pay your £5 that you are on the BKCC stand.

You will be able to leave any time you like though. 

Please bring your £5 meal deposit's as well.

Will any of you VFC guys be involved in taking passengers round the track Colin? I am keen to go round with someone who knows what they are doing so I can get a feel for the track ready for next years 1st track day in the Lil' Red Devil! 

[Moleman]

No mate they already have people they ask each year.

I think my mate Tim from work (who was at the clubs track day blue scooby) is doing passenger rides

Cool. I will see who is offering rides on the day I guess. Just book and pay then I presume?

[Gary RH7]

Looks like the weather will be OK

[Facial Hair Optional]

I'm not convinced yet Gary! Hope so though.

[Moleman]

OK change of plan
Sorry not my doing

They would like us to be there by 8.30-9am now. So if you can get there just that little bit earlier then great.

They have also just sent me the passes & have asked me if possible to hand them out as you go in & then you pay me so I can pay them. Sorry long story but all the money goes to the Stroke foundation this way.

Because of this I will be at the Cross Hands Hotel,  Tetbury Road, Old Sodbury, Bristol, Gloucestershire BS37 6RJ at 8.20 to leave by 8.30am to arrive by 8.45am. Who ever will be going straight there just tell them your on the BKCC stand & we have your passes. Any problems call me or just pay them the £5.
Sorry I have only just been asked to do this.

We are in area F13-F16   (Same grass area as the kit car show but just to the side where the Westfield club stand was)

So who's still going & what are your plans just so I have some idea?

Weather permitting of course.

[Gary RH7]

I'm not convinced yet Gary! Hope so though.

Know what you are saying mate....lets hope.

[damouk]

I'm still going and would imagine fidodido will be coming along as well, hopefully will be at the cross hands  in plenty of time to grab a pass

[mr tone]

Still going hoping to meet at pub Tony

[Gary RH7]

I will be going but from Chippenham. I will see you inside. Seniors only need to pay £2.50 but I don't think I will tell them I am a senior.  Well, its for charity...and my vanity.

[sanzomat]

I would still like to come and get onto the club area but I've got some carer responsibilities to discharge before I can head off so there's no way I can get there that early. I'll try to get them to let me in when I arrive.

[Facial Hair Optional]

Hoping to be at the pub if the weather is good enough, if not I'll go straight there later if it has improved by then.

Atm the forecast is overcast but dry and mild with a small chance catching the odd shower but as well all know it changes by the hour more often than not.

[Gary RH7]

It's Frank Bough again. Now it will bloody rain

[paintman]

Recon Dixie and myself are still going but will be a bit late.

Might be both in the Hood as Dixie has some trouble with water all over the garage floor and fears he has punctured
the radiator on a traffic "calming" bump.....he's bl**dy furious not calm!!

[Sumov8]

Colin
See you at the cross hands,   cheers

[robp]

I'll see you at the Crosshands too.....

....unless it is wet.

[Iainl]

Also see you at the Cross Hands with my son (he's going to risk another trip in the kit car which is a very rare occurrence)

Unless it's wet!

[Moleman]

Cool thanks for letting me know guys. 

Don't forget to bring your Christmas meal deposit money as well

[Facial Hair Optional]

It's Frank Bough again. Now it will bloody rain

Latest Points West forecast is now showing that the nice sunny weather predicted for Sunday has now moved a day forward to..... Saturday!!!!  Yay!!!! 

[damouk]

What's for forecast for Monday?

[Facial Hair Optional]

Atm Damo Monday's forecast is cloudy/overcast but dry and mild at about 13 degrees C so a bit cooler that Saturday which currently from midday onwards is looking like a blinder, dry, sunny and a whopping 17 degrees! Let's hope it stays that way. The morning is set to be dry but cloudy so it looks like we may have a great day at Combe considering it is almost November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come the Saturday it will be less than 8 weeks til Xmas, oh joy of joys! 

[paintman]

Dixie got his car fixed so we will both be ok for Saturday!

Don't expect us till 10.30 though......

[Moleman]

OK cool see you there then.

Good info, handy to know, cheers Damo. Any idea what cars are in group D?

[sanzomat]

I'm going to have to cry off. I've been off work all week with a bad cold (bordering on flu?). I had hoped I'd be back at work today and thus fit for tomorrow but I'm still rough so I think it will be wiser to do the minimum possible tomorrow.

I've been so bad this week I didn't even go out to the shed so no further progress on my engine 

[Moleman]

Thanks for letting me know mate.  Hope you feel better soon.

[Facial Hair Optional]

There are a lot of bugs about atm Dave, I have had one for the last 5 days also. If I don't make the morning meet at the X Hands I will trundle down at lunchtime cos I really don't want to miss this one if I can help it.

Damn it missed that in the copy and paste, from memory I think it was atoms and a radical Steve.

[Facial Hair Optional]

See my post above Damo. From what I found via Google it was group R not D and yes you are right, A FEW Radicals/Atoms etc!! Nice!

[Facial Hair Optional]

I suspect Group D is the Drift cars, nearly all of which seem to be Nissans

[damouk]

You are probably right, I have deleted the email now so can't see what they are, will find out tomorrow I guess

[robp]

Weather looks great. See you at the Crosshands.
