Topic: Next Event: Mondello 2004 - The Sequel Posted: 17-August-2004 at 16:20 |
Anyone fancy another one? We are thinking of using Mondello in mid-October and I'm trying to get an interest check for it. If you are interested, please email me asap (bmw@kbannon.com). Entry fees will be dependant on the amount who turn up, so we are estimating it to be at least the same as before. Also, any comments or recommendations are appreciated. |

e-mail winging its way to you, Killian - it'll give me a chance to stretch the threes' legs etc.. Are you thinking about the National or International this time? I suppose the International circuit would require a weekday slot, which'd reduce popularity greatly. |

Lads, I've been reading about the awful plight in India recently. GDP is dramatically down, economic crisises are two-a-penny, unemployment is reaching epidemic proportions.... I think it is about time we, as a club, showed some social conscience. In order to help some of the indigenous industry in India, I urge you all to subscribe to Octobers Better Driving Day. Our small efforts to cremate tyres will help Indias rubber plantations get back on their feet and prosper. Perhaps we should nominate Robbie as special envoy / consul to India? God knows he can cremate M3 / 530 / M5 rubber with the best of em... Edited by T.J. |

Getting the full curcuit depends on whether we get enough numbers or sponsorship. At the mement we are far from having enough for the national never mind the international circuit |

Im working on it but we were fairly lucky about numbers last time. The club office (who has to fork out any balance not earned by participants) doesn't like seeing low numbers a fortnight before the day and therefore it is essential that as soon as the app forms are available, people must get their payment in. If we can get a sufficient level of interest (& payments!) we will book the entire circuit - tarzan* here we come!
* tarzan is a double right hander, the first RH is at the bottom of a long downhill stretch! |

Head office should be given the heads up this time to carefully check whether people have ticked EUR100 or STG70, as they took STG100 from my VISA card. After bringing it to their attention they sent me back a STG cheque for the excess that took over 3 weeks to arrive, because they had used some very cheap postage. Then I lost out a bit then on the exchange rate and bank transaction charge plus the hassle of having to go into town into the bank. Don't mean to be b****ing, but these type of admin things shouldn't really happen.

@ Aidan - ahh yes - twas your beast of a yoke that was circulating wasn't it .... that's some car. You see all the M3s going around and ya go "yeah, some machines", but when I saw the 5 coming out of Dunlop and bellowing down the straight it confirmed the M5 is the daddy. @ Killian - that's the set of corners I wanna have a go off - I reckon coming into the 1st right that you are coming from the fastest part of the circuit into one of the slowest - best get the Pagids fitted before then! |

If we book the full international circuit then cost could rise to €150+. Would people be prepared to pay that (I would )...

...... i think I would be too. I'd go up to around E160 for the full circuit. how many others would be though? Whilst there is a bunch who have done the National, that sort of money might make the whole exercise a bit too expensive for those looking to introduce themselves to it. How many @ the last one were newbies & how many were seasoned campainers from the inaugural day I wonder?

I'll be a newbie at this event, but would be interested in the international for the variety that the longer course would give, even if the cost is a bit higher.
