What time does it start/finish Wishy.

Being Fathers Day we are out for lunch but if it is a morning thing or an afternoon thing then we might manage to sneak away for a while.

Hi JP

Practice is in the morning and the timed runs start at about 1o'clock until about 5 when the presentations take place.

Also for the Robbo's of this world.If I remember correctly the bikers are also running this weekend as well.

I would have quite liked the trip down to see that, but I am at a "loadsanoise" day myself on Sunday. Wellesbourne Airfield in Warwickshire will be the last run out for Lara the Midget after her second trip to Le Mans, she is into the workshop then for a five speed gearbox transplant.

The "loadsanoise" at Wellesbourne is a series (I hope ) of full power engine runs for their Avro Vulcan bomber. They are using their Vulcan (Grounded for ever by MOD) as a training airframe for  the crew who will be flying the Vulcan at Bruntingthorpe, after the refit being part funded by lottery money. There is a classic cars event there too, which is where Lara comes in. She has a display parking invite to be near the Vulcan before and maybe after the power runs.

A big thank you to my PR officer, Wishy, for the mention.

A couple of competitions to run:-
1.  How many of the GTD's will be in Gulf colours?
2.  How CA T-shirts can we get on show at Gurston?  Doesn't matter if they've not been washed yet from last weekend!

For those who need directions, get to Salisbury.  Head out of Salisbury on the A354, towards Blandford.  About 2-3 miles out, there's a village called Coombe Bissett.  There's a right hand turn, on a bend, signposted Stratford Tony,  Bishopstone & Broadchalke.  Follow that road/lane to the other side of Broadchalke, about 6 miles.  Gurston Down is signposted on the right.
 
Hope to see those of you that can make it, tomorrow.

Wishy, i'm working for a while now, which is a shame.

I can only afford a half day at the Goodwood FOS due to work.

We'll be there Wishy, around 11:30am, complete with very well washed CA T shirts - well you wouldn't want to be responsible for transmitting diseases now would you.
