If anyone wants to come along in gentleman's attire - please do :) Can't promise there will be a prize or anything, but you never know :mrgreen:

flip flop wrote:Hey Guys,

As its my first amp3 Ive got a few questions if thats okay

1. Is the gentlemanly attire still a goer, havent seen any banter at all about this so wondering if anyones picked up on it.
2. Is there much going on before 3pm, was planning on heading up for 2ish for some banter and to get plenty of time to chill out prior getting on track or will there be stuff happening from earlier.
3. With regards to the afters bbq, do most people just head over in their jeans from the trackday or is it a smarter dress code, if its smarter is there somewhere to get changed and is it jeans/shirt?
4. is it just straight to the bbq after in convoy or is there a big gap till the bbq starts.
5. has somebody booked the weather

cheers and sorry for such basic questions

flip
So, to fully answer these:

1. Feel free to come along in gentlemanly attire to remember Brian - the award will be for track etiquette, but you never know, there may be something for the best dressed...
2. if you get there at 3, you're far too late :) If you want to get there for 2, there will be plenty of folk around for a chinwag - earlier the better, really
3. Most people will just be in their trackday attire, although some change - if you want to change at the venue, there are a couple of places you can do that. No particular dress code, but jeans and a shirt would be good if you fancy taking it to Opal later on
4. There is some time before the BBQ officially starts, but you won't be hanging around outside if you come early - you might however, get a job to do :)
5. Tut was having a word. ;)

That's completely changed twice in the last 24 hours. I'd pay zero attention until the day before... Even then, you know KH - it'll be pissing down on the road in and we'll get sunburnt :damnfunny

Normally £10 deposit and £5 back, but Shug may have got a free deal as I did for TT.

Aye, they tend not to bother with the charge on private days like this, but take a tenner just in case.

As for the second driver situation - yes, technically, but if you're coming along to drive someone elses car, we'd appreciate some sort of donation to the charity. Given the point of the day, that sound fair?
Indeed it does. :thumbsup
As per above, my brother has kindly agreed I can have a few laps in his car so I've made an additional donation :thumbsup

Suggest meeting at Murrays??
Might be up for this depending on when I can get away from work. Did you have a time in mind?
meet at 1:30 to leave for 2 ish.....?
I'm thinking we might need to make this a bit earlier (aim to leave MMC about 1:30-1:45). The briefing starts at 2:30 and we need to fill in indemnity forms before that. Given that traffic can be a pain on Fridays, just thinking a few extra minutes might be wise. I should be at MMC around 1:00-1:15pm all being well (I'll be the one with the worried look on my face - 1st track day for a couple of years).

ETA - just noticed the other thread, so ignore everything I've said here :oops:

Just to reiterate, the trackday is full - please don't donate the track fees now unless you wish to go on a reserve list and don't mind giving the money - again, we can't refund anything as the money goes straight from Justgiving to the charity.
