Latest update on the Big August Gig - I've just sent the latest list of attendees to the hotel to make sure their list matches mine (anyone tried sleeping in a Stratos before?) We have 16 cars this time, which is a goodly number, 8 of which aren't club members. So a variety of vehicles! For those who might be interested, here's the list - club members first.

Me
Phil & Helen Dolby
David & Pat Jowsey
Robin & Carol Tyler-Morris
Mark Eaton plus pal
Dave Evans
Neil & Deb Beardsley
Richard Craig & Sarah
...and the non-club peeps...
Mark & Sarah Earnshaw (Cayman GT4)
Sam Earnshaw (son of above) plus pal (Cayman)
Dave & Chris Atkinson (Lotus Elise S1)
Ade & Jill Burns (Jaguar F-Type SVR)
Keith & Wendy Jones (Volvo P1800...or BMW Z3)
Chris Jones (son of above) & Lara (car unknown)
Peter Jowsey (David's brother) & Better Half - can't remember her name! - sorry! (Ginetta G15)
Dave Hill (Porsche 911 Carrera)

The Hotel have also told me that face masks are not compulsory, and dinner will be at 20:00 on Friday, to allow for everyone getting there, and 19:30 on Saturday.

I may be able to recce the part of the route I couldn't manage last week, i.e. the section from Hexham, up to Kielder, into Scotland and back to Corbridge, this weekend when I visit a friend up in the North-East. But that's not guaranteed though!
Weather is looking a bit so-so according to the forecasts, but it could still change....either way!
