So, now the 24 hour is over, it's time to think about the Dinner Dance (well, and Oulton with the grand stand finish we now have set up....).
Invites will be emailed out to all current club members. However, for those of you who aren't members, here are the details:

Hi Shirley, the form appears to be private? It is saying I have to request access?
I think you've shared the editing link rather than the responder link.
Thanks Matt. It obviously opened for me.... Sorry to anyone who was super efficient and wanted to fill it in!
I've edited the post above with what I hope is the right one.
Sorry doesn't seem like it. Can anyone else access it or is it just me?
I've had to request access too Matt
The link should be fixed. The audience is now anyone with the link, rather than restricted in any way. Sorry folks. Let me know if there is still an issue 😊
Thanks Shirley, working now
Just a gentle reminder all 😊
Done it
Thank you to all of those who have booked/given me menu choices/paid so far.
Just another reminder - applications/payments due by THIS FRIDAY.
After that, I'll do my best but no guarantees I'm afraid.
Hope to see you there. 😊
Morning just paid mine
Regards
Thanks to all those who have booked in after the weekend.
I am treating the numbers as final now so the hotel can press on with arrangements.
Dear all,
There are a few payments outstanding; I will drop an email to those people later this week to chase things up.
However, if anyone can identify the payment reference 1HRIG N TPM please tell us!
Dear all,
Once again, many thanks to those who have paid. However, we are still over 20 payments short.
The hotel needs to be paid next week and I am going to be in a position of not being able to and/or taking people off the list.
Please, if you have not paid, can you do so by Monday 4pm?
If you are a driver and there are non-club members on your table, could you please help by chasing them up for me?
I'll send further email reminders tonight but there's only so much I can do.
Thanks all and looking forward to seeing you there.
