Another bump for this. The committee have been working behind the scenes to arrange the raffle prizes. Just a reminder, that every member (including partner members) who attends the dinner will get something. There's a big ticket item that Clive from our sponsor trader Racing Beat Europe has kindly donated that will be won by one lucky attendee.

Probably a bit beyond Clive's generosity. Do you need a clutch?

If the track day is sold out, you can see if Steve is still selling his place. Haven't seen a recent update on his rebuild, but it was potentially up for grabs.

Hi Malcolm
It’s never too late, I always allow for the unexpected 😉
Please send Ian Mothersole the menu choices asap to update the spread sheet

There is still time for a few more last minute attendees for a lovely relaxed event

Hi, I have a couple of questions re the AGM. First one is as a non member I don't expect to be able to vote on any agenda items but am I allowed to be in the meeting? Secondly what's the start and estimated end time on Sunday? Just so I can tell the babysitter. Thanks.

As Malcolm says, this has generally been the way. If you want to renew your membership, then I'll refund £20 from your AM dinner which will mostly offset it.
