On Saturday 8th August 09

If you are coming and you have not already messaged or e-mailed me to let me know , then I would be grateful if you would just sent me a quick one line e-mail to let me know so that we can cater for the right number of people. Thanks.



We have got so many really interesting films it is so difficult to pick out the selection this time

As a taster we have club racing from the 1960s, history of the grand prix car from 1924 to 1939, a Texaco film I had never seen before of the 1976 British GP at Brands, big sportscars from 1965, British saloon car championship in 1968 and '69 some Autocross from the early '60s, newsreel of great motor racing events over 5 decades, a 1980 documentary, and of course it would not be a film show without some more spectacular Gerry Marshall footage .........I just don't know how to fit it all in !!

Very much look forward to seeing you all.

Clash with two major Historic meetings,problem.
I would have attended this one if I were allowed to!

Hope you get a good response as having read previous reports they are superb events for people who have an interest in Motor Racing History.

Suggest you have to be very clever to win the quiz!

Yes I know John it is a problem at this time of year. Next one likely to be in January if we get enough support this weekend.
