We have 11 confirmed for the club stand now - six from the FB group. Club tickets are only on sale until the 30th, after which you can pay on the gate but have to park in the car park with the oiks

I previously removed myself from the list, but somebody has replied to an earlier message and put me back in again.
I will not be attending, unless something changes between now and then and I make a last minute arrival without a ticket

Just sorting through some odds and ends and found I have a 5-litre unopened container of G-12 premixed pink coolant. Triple QX brand.
As I have a bottle of concentrate as well for top-ups (hopefully no longer needed now my oil cooler pipe is metal) this is spare. If anyone going to VI wants it for an appropriately discounted quantity of beer vouchers I'll bring it along.
