Sounds like a great idea - dare I resurrect the topic of a "ladies" post at a meeting this year?

I'd love to go but it's a work day and I give up enough of my holiday for motorsport as it is. I appreciate that it's on a particular day but it's a shame that the promo stuff couldn't be done on a weekend to get the best chance of a really good turn out.

Another one who won't be going because it's a weekday.
Id probably have to take a whole day of work for a 40 minute photo shoot with an hours drive each way. PJ |

Seems the organisers haven't realised that women tend to work nowadays.

Apparently, I will be on strike that day - which leaves me in somewhat of a dilemma -do I a) not go to work and lose a day's pay; b) not go to work and lose a day's pay but show up somewhere else c) go to work because I can't afford to miss a day at the desk/e-mail.
It is my pension that is up for grabs |

May as well go to work, Gordon's going to steal your pension anyway, no point in losing a day's pay.
Or you can book a day's leave because 'I have to be at Silverstone that day'. You might just get away with it. |

I won't be going, have a full days teaching to contend with, and I don't think my head would give the day off for a photoshoot.

Me neither, I need to keep odd days off for racing later in the year. If only it could have been held on a weekend.
It may be women's day on that date, but sadly most of us have to work.

Hope anyone who can go enjoy's it. I think it's a fab idea but it's a real shame it's on a weekday as it's obviously restricting the numbers of folks that might attend.
Can I put in a request for this to happen on a weekend another year?! At least if it happened on the weekend before the committee could release a press release with pics etc. in good time for the day itself which might pic up some more publicity. |
