Default A8parts open day 2014

Are we having A8parts open day this year? If so can we have date please? I assume some time April which is coming soon, while late notice might not be a problem for most people as it's normally in weekend I would need to book a holiday as I am working most weekends so early notice would be preferred.

Its my understanding that it was more of a one off than an annual event, even though it ended up being run twice in two years - I beleive its more likely we'll see a8parts lending a bit of support to the main annual meet in Scotland instead this year.....

Yes, Thanks IT for stepping in and confirming that we wont be having an event this year.

For numerous reasons we just cant commit to an open day this year. The last two events have been enjoyable for the team here, and hopefully we will be in a position to host another event in the future.

Bearing in mind the comments here I will look at a special short term offer for forum members only as a reward for your continued support, so don't throw those shopping lists in the bin just yet!

Additionally I will be extending some sponsorship for the Scottish Meet which I am already in discussion with Jim and co over the border and the team will be looking to support and attend other events so hope to see you guys at some of them.

Perhaps you can bring a boot full of orders (at a suitable discount! ) for those going to the Annual Meet?
