Hi Jay,

Just Spoke to Jonny.

Sign up for the Novice group on the Club circuit and then on the day see how you're getting on. If you are boared/decide to "upgrade" you can no Probs (subject to spaces of course :wink: we don't want to over crown either layout). The "upgrade" will cost £20 on the day from Lunch time onwards. If you want to "upgrade" before lunch it will cost £30.

Hope this helps. Now get booked on :twisted:

I am tempted with this as well Garrick. Get used to the car on the novice set up and then possibly 'upgrade' for the afternoon... :wink:

There are no garages as such at Anglesey. The scrutineering area has some covered bays which could be used as garages, but they are usually given up to open top cars in case of rain. If regular cars park up in them and it starts to rain, you are obliged (just out of the kindness of your own heart) to offer the garage up to a Caterham/Westfield type car. Saying that there aren't many currently signed up for the day and the circuit has it's own weather patern. The Met Office can not predict for the circuit at all.

We've driven to the circuit in torential rain, but at the circuit it's been clear & dry. A few years ago it was the same with snow blizards all over the country, but as you got close to the circuit the skys cleared and it was dry :thumleft:

Although there have also been times when it's the other way around too 8)

Bring a ground sheet or something to put your stuff down and cover with. Hopefully we will all park together so someone should always be around. Also trackdayers don't tend to be of the theiving type :thumleft:

Hi guys,

I really need accommodation requirements ASAP

Phil & Vix - Double? For Which nights?
Anna & Alex - Double? Which nights?
Scott - Double/Twin/Single? For which nights?
John - Double/Twin/Single? Which nights?


Anyone else?

If it's only going to be us lot above, then it might be cheaper/better to go in with a BaT booking. If there are any more, then I'll continue to explore a large cottage for us all :thumleft:

If you are a smooth driver you should not find that your tyres wear much at all.

It opened to other clubs in August.

Besides Peter Wilshaw is Simon Wilshaw's dad :wink:

I needed numbers and sadly MR2's weren't showing interest. In order to keep the voucher offer valid for those MR2's who had shown interest, I had no choice :(
I had mentioned from day 1 that it would be opened to other cars if interest from MR2's was poor :wink:

1] Scott B - Single/Twin (1 person)
2] John M - Twin/Double (2 People)
3] MK1Chris & Keith - Twin (2 People)
4] Anna & Alex - Double/Twin (2 People)
5] Phil & Vix - Double/Twin (2 People)
6] Chris & Cassi - Double/Twin (2 People)
7] Me & Jo - Double/Twin (2 People)

Any more for accomodation?
