I will be there of course, at my usual pitch in The Outer Darkness. I've a feeling the 360MRC gang are planning on having a stand too.

BTW Mrs MM informs that that this year it's home made biscuits, not cakes.

Maybe some home made CCs, definitely chocolate-dipped oat cakes (deliberate ploy of hers, as I don't like them!!!)

Hope the arm OK Claire, looking forwards to your EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with your arm, Claire. I slipped on the ice other week but only thing broke was my phone. Arm would have been cheaper!

I'm not going to make RR, sadly. Impending trip after weekend to 'the land of the female Nascar driver' means can do without distractions. Biggest disappointment sounds like missing out on the chocolate-dipped biscuits...

Midgetman are you going to be offering complimentary coffees for any Tenthers that visit your stand again?

If so then we should all meet there, but perhaps not all at the same time or there might be a coffee/sugar/milk crisis!!

Not coffee, but I have home made chocolate drizzle oatcake biscuits for the customers and all the home made custard creams for me - at least I *think* that's what Mrs MM said. Or was it "don't you dare eat all the custard creams"?????



I think the 360 Mob are the ones for coffee. I know Tenthers are a better breed, but most of my non-10ths friends would only spill scalding hot liquid over expensive racing overalls so I don't risk it

I am not going, but one of my cars is.

The ex Betty Haig HRG 1500 will be displayed on the HSCC stand.
Betty Haig had her own subtly modified body built for the car.
More windscreen rake and rounded wings in place of the usual square riggers

She used the car in the 1950 Alpine Rally, the Maloja Hillclimb and later raced it at Goodwood.

Betty Haig is a founder member of the HSCC and I thought it would be of interest

Allo Mike Broadbent from Racelogic here. We'll be exhibiting at RR for the first time this year, very much looking forward to it.

Nigel Greensall, who I'm sure many of you know, will be on our stand for the whole three days so come and say hi. If you already use our kit and want to get some tips from Nigel bring some video and data with you, he'll be happy to help.

See you at Stoneleigh!

Didn't she also compete against Bluebell-Gibb's in the other HRG? I dont have the race programs to hand but both cars seemed to be racing everywhere in period.

We're in the Outer Darkness of Hall 3, delightfully close to the Fire Engine Bar and the Ace Cafe - but surrounded by motorbikes! We must meet up during the 3 days, but that's always easier said than done isn't it? So many times I've exhibited at events and never got to natter to friends.
