RTOC @ Santa Pod, 29th May 2009

[stuTHC]

Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to announce that RTOC will once again be hiring Santa Pod for the full day on Friday 29th May
Once again it is a Friday, apologies to anyone who was hoping for it to be on a Saturday, but as explained at the last AGM, we will not be able to afford to hire Santa Pod for a full day on a saturday without charging people upwards of £100 for a ticket. Even if we could afford to subsidise the event to make the price more affordable for members Santa Pod do not have a free Saturday available any where between end of March and end of September.

Price and ticket information to follow shortly (expect tickets to be around the same as last year- £60) with tickets available to buy in the club shop from early next year.

We do intend to invite other car clubs this year, but i can not see the total number of cars running on the day been above 100, meaning there really will be NO waiting around in queues. So like last year, it'll be a case of you been able to do as many runs as you like, i think the record was 72 last year if anyone fancies trying to beat it.

Watch this space for further info...............

and MEMBERS ONLY can access the discount code to get the price down to £60 here:

Nope, ND2009 will be at Mallory Park
I know when it is, but i dont want to step on Mr Millers toes, ill let him make the announcement on that one when he's finilised all the details.


As for the AGM minutes, erm no. But as it only lasted about 46 seconds im sure it wouldn't take much for us to knock some up and get them posted.

[Mudslinger]

Cheers for the Info
