    1 time me and Tricky stayed over so we could get the early train the next morning

    Plenty of beer, didge and bass, almost swordfighting on the landing. 2am bedtime only for a 5am wakeup call So much for the early night

    For those of you that aren't pushing four into a bed & finding what the little one said...

    We'll meet at the usual Ashford Tesco's at 6:00am and then depart by 6:20 or when everyone gets there.

    Those of us who will be there:

    1) Big Steve, Millie and Jezzlebury
    2) Krissy M & Brigsy
    3) J$£5GTT

    Any other takers.

    Chris, its booked up for 15 people, if you look at page 2 on here, not sure on if all seats taken, but sometimes they can squeeze in a few more people if not fully booked up.

    Re: 9th October trip to Nurburgring & Germany

    I've just had a little tot up about the Meals i'm planning for the Sat & Sunday night & reckon we have the following numbers:

    Saturday Night at the Hotel Rieder:
    1 Steve Thomson 2 Sarah Miller 3 Jeremy Nesbitt 4 Nicholas Kettle 5 Paul Kettle 6 Iain Lomax 7 Nicola Broome 8 Kristopher Marmoy 9 Jon Briggs 10 Pete Randall 11 Caroline 12 Justin Fischer 13 Chris Jessop 14 Chris Jessop +1 15 Dale Jarvis 16 Dale +1 17 Dale +2 18 Dale +3 19 Ricardo 20 Ricardo +1 21 Toms GTT 22 Toms GTT +1 23 Toms GTT +2 24 Toms GTT +3

    Sunday Night at the Pistenklause:
    1 Steve Thomson 2 Sarah Miller 3 Jeremy Nesbitt 4 Iain Lomax 5 Nicola Broome 6 Kristopher Marmoy 7 Jon Briggs 8 Pete Randall 9 Caroline 10 Justin Fischer 11 Chris Jessop 12 Chris Jessop +1 13 Dale Jarvis 14 Dale +1 15 Dale +2 16 Dale +3 17 Toms GTT 18 Toms GTT +1 19 Toms GTT +2 20 Toms GTT +3

    I'd pre-empted this & had increased the reservation in the Pistenklause on the Sunday to 19

    I'm sure they can rustle another seat up?

    Was speaking to Kris M about this the other day, apparently after Sept they dont permit the use of semi slicks on road cars either - but turn a blind eye to foreign cars

    Be fine im sure.
    I think the limit is 3mm mind.. [ guesstimated mine away from wear markers]


    Any chance of a good old sing song for my passengers 'happy birthday' on the Sunday night?
