Default Audi Driver International 16th Sept 2017

Hi Guys and Girls,
Is anyone going to this meet at Castle Combe on either 16th Sept.
Last year was a great turnout for A8 & S8 Forum members with our own stand.
I am keen to go again this year, but would like to gauge other Forum members interest before committing
Thanks
David

there is normally a "Group Parade" session at about 4pm for all clubs but to organise a club-specific parade session would be prohibitively expensive for the relatively small number of cars which we have even assuming all want to do that
