Looks Intresting, but I will need a lot of fairy dust to get my car ready by then......

Best start to sprinkle then....:rolleyes:

I'd be up for this. Come on Neil, would love to see yours rebuilt and in action.

Dave

Sounds good to me, unfortunately I won't have a car, maybe a chassis by then, which would mean I would have to go in my Motorhome and do the camping package, that would however give me certain advantages over a Stratos, fridge full of beer, bed etc, might even take it round the track :-)

Rob

Sounds good Rob, thanks for sorting that. Lets hope we can get a few more closer to the time.


Dave

Camping booked for Fri and Sat night

Camping also booked for Friday and Saturday, anyone else up for it?

Dave

Have got the Saturday off work so will be there, still hoping to get Friday off so can travel down on Friday
Which camping package have you both gone for ?

Alan

The one with the meal for us as we will be going straight from work

Before i book my camping, just want to check that my car has been pre-registered.
If it has that means (if i have read it right) that i need camping only on Fri-Sat @ £8 per night (no passenger)

I realise we are too late to put our names down on the list to go on the club stand, I tried the other week to get tickets from the KitFest site, they were not available at the time, i shall try again. if successfull see you there
regards carol

Hi Alan Yes you were on the list for club stand.

Carol I asked for 10 car spaces but not sure how many passes we will get through. Not sure if it will apply for the camper van though !!

I have booked for 2 nights camping, Rob can you put us down for 2 tickets and if that is okay how much, and where to send the cheque to
thank you for organising this event
regards carol

Rob

Have booked Friday and Saturday camping

Just had an email from the event organiser to say this is now cancelled, shame was looking forward to it. They are now offering a club stand at the Classic & Retro Action day on the 28th June, if anyone is interested.

Yes Dave had notification though today to confirm event cancelled.
options for exchanges and refunds to those who have already purchased admission tickets, track sessions and camping packages are being made.

Contact the organisers on the same details as the additional bookings

"If you were planning to attend KitFest OR if the date was not viable and you’re interested in another option then, we do have the well-established Classic & Retro Action Day taking place on Saturday 28th June to which we would be delighted to welcome kit car clubs who had pre-booked for KitFest. If numbers allow, we will set aside a dedicated KitCar Zone as part of the event".

Sorry we are unable to go , we are at FOS goodwood

Its cancelled Carol....... look at te post above....

Its that camp-site that's done you know, you seen my banjo?
