I always use this meeting to escape for a few days and catch up with my sister in Cheltenham and my oldest friends in Plymouth so just got back and this is my first visit t'internet for almost a week. Will try to respond to various posts in due course and in particular the sad damage to 4 cars in the FISCAR incident, race and in particular to Adrian Beecrofts fabulous Aston. Fortunately, no injuries as all the impacts were slow speed although Nigel Grice was probably pretty sore the following day as his Austin Healey was rear ended. In the meantime, congrats to Steve Boultbee-Brooks who won both the FISCAR race and our Jon Gross Memorial Trophy race in his lovely DB3S, and to Mark Gillies for win the Mort Goodall Cup in the prewar Aston Monoposto.

Great shots, John (Brands) - sorry we didn't meet up.

It always amazes me why the general public get so uptight about what we (farmers) do with land of (let's be honest) pretty low outstanding natural beauty). What, may I ask, do they expect to see on the infield of a motorsports racing venue.....stooks of wheat awaiting the arrival of a 1920s binder?.....26 women and children hoeing onions.....a flight of Spitfires taking off at first light.....The Haywain....?
For years everyone has been telling us that they're fed up with paying too much for food and that we can get all we want from the Ukraine anyway, so they can afford to go out and buy a flat screen telly and an annual skiing holiday instead. Oh, and can you produce some of that nice renewable electricity, please.
It appears we cannot win!

Agreed, NB. I barely noticed the solar panels (I have some in my garden on a ground frame) since I went there to watch the cars and the racing. They didn't detract from anything that was going on and are an excellent and practical use of what was a featureless flat piece of land.
