The early information from MGCC was:- Sunday March 29th Mallory [First day of Summer time] This was from the end of September, so lots could have happened since. It came with the normal 'provisional' health warning. As you see, MGCC thought that HSCC would be at Donny on the Sunday. So maybe it's a battle over which day of the weekend the clubs occupy. |

Either way I hope that Donington have at last opened up and sorted out the in-field mud-heaps for spectators next year. Should be better if so. |

Brian is right with all his caveats. It really is very early to be speculating on everyone's calendar for 2015.
Let me explain the HSCC approach. The HSCC tries to be as open as possible with its members and targets to be one of the first clubs to formally publish a calendar. The target date for this is the Annual Awards Dinner which this year is November 29th. Normally there will be a calendar card in front of each place setting. However most of our championships have drivers meetings at the HSCC Finals meeting (this year October 18) and for these there was a draft of the latest calendar status available. I guess Robert wasn't there. Please be careful to watch out for the club's formal announcements because I can remember when Bernie has made changes which knocked on to cause calendar changes as late as January. Chris Sharples |

Hi Chris, I was sitting directly in front of you at the HRS meeting. Maybe best to continue this and other conversations off-line

All very mysterious.....
Ignoring any particular club, surely the sooner all provisional or confirmed dates are in the public eye the better? Then any clashes can be attended to if possible, and racers (customers) can start to plan ahead. In an age where businesses big and small actually employ people to promote their services, forthcoming products or whatever on the Internet via "social media", I cannot see any point in trying to keep race meeting dates quiet. I appreciate the possibility of an F1 date change filtering down to club level, it happened to AMOC & HSCC (last year?) at Brands, but such circumstances are well out of club control! The idea of starting this thread was so that (hopefully) all the 2015 historic calendars would finish up in one place so that I / we don't have to search all over the place to find them...... |

on a connected front I was at Goodwood yesterday for one of Robert Barrie (he of this parish) great track days. Preparations are afoot for the 73rd MM. Sack loads of dafs being planted and a pitlane full of pre 67 911 for their stand alone race. The noise of a grid of swb 911's at full chat shoudl be worth the entrance fee alone!!
other cars of note included a very nice ex Tony Lanfranchi Mathwell BMW 3.0s. It might be 4 months away but I am starting to get excited already!! |

I know that the draft CSCC dates will be released at the AGM this sunday, so they must be fairly clear that things are sorted, and if they are, then the other clubs must be close, too. |

Whilst it is nice to know the calender early doors so we can get excited about the next season during the dark winter months does it actually make much difference whether we know now or in January?
This is a hobby for all of us so we will do the dates that work and miss those that dont and preppers will build their calenders around their clients needs. |

Of course we all have different agendas and levels of 'need'. If the dates are all published we can at least make use of the info if required.
Terence, you're sounding a bit in the smug zone over there! How about joining in and providing some mainland Euro dates or links for us, please? |

I work shifts which means weekend work. We only have a small staff, one per shift and a few on days. Planning time off is a nightmare if meetings don't line up with my shift pattern, I have to twist a few arms for cover especially in school holidays. So for me the sooner dates are known the better.

Terry - One of the events I'm interested in is the "Spa Race Festival", usually held in July. Does your magazine give any idea as to when that might be?
