I will let you know the morn after I have spoke to her tonight, I will most likely be up for the breakfast meet as we would probably head over the night before as its a 4 hour drive.

So are we having a Club display or slumming it in the visitors car park?

Thats great - you can actually rent a room at the pub where brekkie is if youre staying down, or I can sort a good rate at the local holiday inn express also. We do have a club stand in the enclosure every year yes so thats why I need to know firm numbers well before time (and for the pub to get the brekkies in!)

Last year we had a club area - not really marked out obviously but all the '8s managed to gather together along with interloping A7s!

Wasn't brave enough to track mine last year - didn't even get a ride round the track lol.

I'm going to try and make that, but won't know (as ever) until the last minute.
What time will you be breakfasting; it's about an 80-minute drive from my home? Well, that's what the RAC route planner says, it's 80 miles, mostly M4/M25.
