Thanks for putting in all the effort (again...) to organising this Neil - I would love to have been able to attend, but for a major family event this year on that weekend. Hopefully you'll still have a good event with the hardcore forum members who are still committing to be there...

I echo Tintin's comments Neil, the effort you put into these things is appreciated by most of us. I also have other commitments or I would be there (BTCC @ Silverstone, been booked since Nov 2016)..

I'll echo Tintin as well.

Sadly I cannot come, I'll be at work progressing a Datacentre relocation.

I still plan to make the brekkie unless it's cancelled due to lack of numbers.

Just me, no SWMBO and no overnight stay. What time would we assemble at The Bolingbroke?

Long drive for me (and presumably others) so going straight to the circuit has its attractions. Ideally I'd like know one way or the other on Thursday.

Yes, but being a man of leisure I'm not used to getting up early! And it's 90% M4 so no fun either.

We normally arrive between 7.30-7.45am and eat at 8:00 latest to leave at 08:30 ish and get there for 09:00 onto the club stand
I need to confirm final stand numbers for cars to Audi Driver Mag by tomorrow and breakfast numbers to the Bolingbroke for Friday
