Ah Steve, that sucks! I hope there'll be a few other Nordics in attendance, as I have a real soft spot for them. Best of luck and hope it's a simple fix ☺️

ATTENTION EVERYONE



Please DO NOT arrive on the club stand before 7:30am, as the team need time to set up the club stand and get the food on :thumright:

Thank you to the volunteers who came forward to help with the following :

  • Put the gazebo up
  • Help with the parking
  • Help with the cooking
  • Webbo85 - Table
  • Studle - Table
  • Metelyk
  • ChrisHolmes - Media Gear
  • PaulAV
  • Reloy - Table
  • RachelM
  • Caren
  • Mattzdaspeed


Ideally the team of helpers must be on the stand from 7am as we need to be ready when all the members start arriving after 7:30am :arrow:

All fresh food, will be in the Giant Fridge (Please note this will be recording all the time) next to the Gazebo including KK Doughnuts etc... =D>

There will be the usual Hot and Cold Drinks, plus Bacon and Sausage Baps, hence why we need a few cooks, including lunchtime :thumleft:

We all welcome home made cakes aswell :inlove:

Don't forget to bring your chairs to make it easier to socialise under the club gazebo's :lol:

20th Anniversary Car Display is confirmed below and this will be placed in front of the Gazebo's =D>


20th Display
  1. 20th Display - 192ps --- Shagrington
  2. 20th Display - Mazdaspeed --- Mattzdaspeed
  3. 20th Display - 231ps --- Stokesyjnr
  4. 20th Display - Evolve --- Bigblueknight3k
  5. 20th Display - PZ --- pat
  6. 20th Display - 40th --- Dove66
  7. 20th Display - R3 --- rotatopotato


Many thanks everyone for your continued support for putting on these big events during the year :thumleft:

Thank you to everyone involved in the organisation and setting up at today's event. Pippa and I had a wonderful time chatting, watching the cars and filming me not make an ass of myself on the track 😁. Day went far too quick, hopefully catch up at another meet soon 👍

Yet again a great day attended by large number of rotary cars, over 45 I guessed at, and the weather sort of behaved itself. Huge thanks yet again to Caren and Rachel for their excellent cooking skills, Caren was flambaying bacon at one point!
Thanks Ian for being both gazebos, Andy for more scones, Nigel for the soft drinks bacon and sausages, oh abd for a bit of organising the event.
JDM 2024 here we come!
