Looks very good. Have to wait to see if wifey can get the day off. Or I go with my daughter which could be interesting since she is only two. :wink:
Might have to keep the '44 to get to that.......

No chance. Not even sure if she asked to be honest.......... :(

Thanks for the heads up on this guys.

I can confirm that it is not yet in our calendar, the even we have is the VSCC See Red even a couple of weeks later.
I'll get my events list published too (sorry, been a bit remiss - it is available in Excel by e-mail should anyone want to PM me to send to them).

I'll have a conversation with Donington to get us a pitch up for the Sunday (Central are boooked up on the Saturday).

Watch this space...........

I think Donnington have been rescheduling events since the end of last year. I think the provisional dates and content of the VSCC have changed

This has caused some confusion

However, it is now confirmed that Central Region will join East Midlands Region and do the event at Donnington on the Sunday unless something else changes yet again

Provisionally Central region are also trying to organise a different event on the Saturday which is still under negotiation.

Don't forget this event, it's coming up soon.

2 for 1 weekend tickets are still available (I've got mine), and parade laps for invited club members are also on offer. Book early to avoid disappointment.
