Thanks Nathan

Nathan,
Great day thanks for organising the club stand. It was a good turnout and though the stand was the opposite corner of the field to the coffee it was one of the best spots for people seeing the cars.

Nice to see so many diferent cars setting off on the run somethig like 450 cars with lots more on club stands. All sorts, from early cars to the latest.

Plenty to do while you were all driving round the route but your smiles from the MIRA visit (at 45MPH honest guv). I think I missed a good one!.

Marsh

Marsh, Thanks for the kind comments, it was my first attempt at organising the club stand and im glad it all worked out!! Had a nice turn out of cars!!

Yeah coffee....we'l have to sort something out about that but your right it was a nice spot for the stand!!

MIRA, yeah you missed a great experiance, if it wasn't for Yvonne telling me to leave the place i most probably still be going round if everybody behaved them selves then hopefully wel be doing it next year!!

Thanks to everybody that turned up, i really enjoyed it and i hope you guys did aswell!!

Here to next year!!!!

Nathan
