There are a a few places left
Despite my best efforts to the contrary, the 9th annual Meldrew is scheduled to take place at its spiritual home, the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit on Sunday 15thNovember.
With the recent good news on the economy and before the benefit cuts are implemented, I trust that you will be able find some spare wonga for the entry fee - an entirely exceptional £160 for 15 mins of practice and two 15 lap races. These are on track handicap races - that is with a staggered start - so anyone could win the races, not just those with the fastest cars.
At season’s end it is not easy to find the money or motivation to venture out into the wild uplands of Kent, but for a day of nerve tingling bewilderment and general chaos in the good company of other like-minded miseries, it's worth asking the family to stretch to a little more austerity in order to get you out of the house.
