Mondello, Sept. 20th - Important!

Guys,

With one month to go, we have really got to get a handle on the numbers going to turn up.

If anyone intends driving and has not booked a place can they do so immediately. We are not even close to the break-even point and so have to look at other ways of making the day work. This will have to start next week.

If you intend going - please let us know. Even by posting here.

Thanks,

Brendan

Crispin, the form is available at:

and needs to get to the office in the UK.

I don't have a car to use at the track day as such - the earliest I'll have a new one is about the 7th of September, I'll be at the event either way though - would be more than happy to pay a small fee to the club to come and spectate.

Just don't want to fork out the full amount and not have a car to drive !

Not specifically. The usual Mondello things will apply I'd say. What are you thinking about specifically?

As far as I know, there is no cost for spectators but I'd need to confirm it.

How many have we got so far...whats the min number we need ?...

I am up for it and payed up. I will se if I can get a few interested in going...not a whole lot of club members down this way, There is a new M5 in town wonder if he would like to take it for a blast.

Regards

We need a minimum of 25. At the moment it something around 14-15. If we cannot get close to 25 by the end of next week or early the following week then we might have to cancel it.

It is costing €3000 so 30 people at €100 breaks even. If 25 arrive it will be €120 - so we would have to collect another €20 each. I don't think it is fair to ask for more than this - but tell be what you think.

The "published" cost is £65 (~€100) covering 2-6pm. It will be run in probably 3 groups (Novice, Intermediate & Experienced - but possibly 2 if there is a small turn out) for 10-12 minutes per group. There is also an option for 2 groups to run longer sessions but with an open pit lane for the relevent group during this time.

Let me know your thoughts on how you would like to have it run.

We really need a big push in the next week so do what you have to!

We hope to send some emails, make some calls, chase some sponsorship and use main dealers to make this work. I'll be desperately disappointed if we fail to pull it off.

 This thread had been 4 pages long and now look at it.

Anyway Ian, your wife, family, in-laws, neighbours, etc. are all welcome and just just have to pay the grand sum of nowt!

Oh by the way if your kids come, they can't bring sandpaper with them

I think we may have to get a few cable ties and tether him to a telegraph pole just in case
