Ok so who's going and who's being pants because of the football?
I'm going, not that it makes much difference to the racing result ... yet ;)
C x
Matthew and myself will be there
i will prob be there with the hollis boys
Hurrah, will be good to see you all out! Hope team Hollis got the car back together after Cadwell!
C x
Well I'll be going and will be getting drunk at Anglesey, hopefully not running around the race naked this time! Whats this, is there football on? :D
Anyone know what time the sprint is on the Saturday? We're playing tag on this one and I need to get to Kent that evening.
Ben
No; I had some money but spent it all on sweeties, as it were...
Format for weekend known yet? Yes, for some, this will seem an obvious question with an equally obvious answer, but surely everyone knows how dim/what a nuisance I am by now ... ?
Sprint on the Sat and Enduro on the Sun, or is everything being moved to the one day like earlier in the year? I hear there's no bar ... well that's not a problem! Is there to be a club BBQ or have I been dreaming in technicolour again?
C x
Just to echo the above, does anyone know what the format of the weekend is to going to be, as usual it will be awkward for me to be there for two days!
Well, they usually start with a Friday evening before going to Saturday and then Sunday. Sometimes Monday if there's a bank holiday.
Right, so seeing 'In-ger-land' are playing this weird football gamey thing on a Saturday, what difference (if any!) is this making to the format of the Pembrey* weekend?
I need to know soon so I can get the Friday off work or i won't be able to go and I'll get all miserable ... :(
C x
[Edit: *Obviously I mean Anglesey ... I'm just stupid! C x]
Sorry Catherine, you've lost me there, I think I am going to Anglesey on the 8th or 9th of July, not Pembrey this coming weekend!
confused,
Thats not hard to do though Bob, :lol: :lol: :wink:
:D Sheesh I can be really stupid! I meant Anglesey ... honest!!!
:oops: sorry Bob
C x
well they are both in Wales, and I usually do get lost when I head in that direction, so no problem Catherine. I must say it is a big relief to know that I'm not as senile as I began to think I was - no comments from you Steve, or anyone else for that matter!
Steve - any further thoughts on Silverstone?
Hmmmm,........did send you a txt this morning...I CAN COME AND PLAY!!!!! :lol: have found someone to go with the missis
So far entries for anglesey sprint race are SEVEN, and the Enduro Race TWELVE!!!!!!
This is Pi** Poor in the least
If we don't get near to full grids at these races we WILL NOT be going back there!!!!
Trevor
Hardly suprising really Trevor, I've been trying to get an answer ref the weekend program of events, to try and avoid spending two days there. Potentially I could be offered work for the saturday which I would hate to turn down if we aren't - as I expect racing on the Saturday. The feedback, including unanswered e mails to the organisers, is appalling.
I certainly won't be looking to return there!
Well looks like I won't be at Anglesey now as I can't get the Friday off work ... not enough notice. :( :(
Will try on the Sat to get there but no guarantees.
In Cambridgeshire this weekend for 2cvGB Registers Day ... maybe see some of you there? I'm the one in the irn-bru coloured Dyane ... no, I'm not kidding!
C x
Like Bob, I'm pushing hard to bend my life around the racing but I've still got no idea when the sprint is. If we're 1st or 2nd in the afternoon, all is fine for me. If we're last then I can't come but I might be able to get a replacement for my car.
So any news?
Ben
This trying to find out what times things are on at seems to be a huge problem for this weekend!
Is this the fault of the circuit or BARC, as I get the general impression the club itself has limited say in how and when things are run once a date and venue is decided ... or am I wrong as usual?
Is there someone we should all be phoning to say "Hi, can you tell me when such and such is" to get them to act quicker in future?
Just wondering, seeing that info for the other events thus far this year, has been available at least a fortnight ahead of the racing weekend (even if changes occur the week of!) This seems odd (to me any way) that times are still vague (even though we seem to know days now!) three days ahead of the event!
Sorry, essay finished!

Hi Ben,
the details I now have for 2CV's for the weekend as follows -
Saturday.
New Driver Meeting 09:30 or 10:30
Sign on 10:50
Scrutineering 11:00 - 11:20
Practice 12:00 - 12:15
SPRINT Race estimate approx 16:30
Sunday
New Driver Meeting 09:30 (nicely planned considering our sign on and Scrutineering times! - sorry, I must try harder not to be cynical!!!)
Sign on 09:20
Scrutineering 09:30 - 09:45
Practice 10:10 - 10:30
General Practice 10:35 - 10:45
ENDURO Race 12:55 (this has to finish in time for Church Service at 14:00!!!!)
So, if like me you can only spare 1 day, you have to choose btwn Sprint or Enduro!,
I hope this helps
BTW, Silverstone timetable here -
http://www.barc.net/competitors/race_timetables/hq0629x-01.php
so I guess it must just be the NW Center that struggle with timetables
Thankyou Bob! Much appreciated!!
:)

Bah, technology, posted twice ... sorry!
Thanks Bob and to Trev who also clarified by Phone.
Unfortunetaly because of the times, I can't make it but the trusty steed will be there this weekend being piloted by the venerable Jamie Lister.
Beware of the flying scotsman!
Ben
The bad news...
Unfortunatly I won't be racing at Anglesey as I am too skint - unless anyone can come with approx £500 for me before midnight tonight so that I can get a late entry in, buy some petrol, stick some diesel in the van etc. etc. - I am really not happy about this as I love Anglesey circuit: it suits our cars really well and always lands up being a good race.
The good news...
I'd like to come along anyway (Sat and Sun) so if anyone has a pair of spare tickets that they could send my way then I'd be really grateful to recieve them. I am happy to do a bit of pit boarding (co driving for the enduro???) if anyone needs a hand.
:-)
Christine
P.S. if anyone has tried to e-mail me during the last 10 days you'll know that my e-mail has not been working, it is now up and running so I am contactable on
[email protected]
Bug thanks to Bob Rice for sending me a pair of tickets that arrived this morning.
See you all there.
:-)
Christine
Fabulous weekend! Many thanks to all (especially Christine Challenger for the wee drive of the racer, I'll be smiling for weeks! ;) )
Probably the best Enduro race I've watched this year, loads of action throughout the field for the whole race, well worth the trip! My first time at Anglesey (second time in Wales ... does it count as Wales?!) and an incredible circuit with regards location and atmosphere.
See you all at Silverstone!
