Silverstone 2023

After this year's ticket troubles, I'm not sure I'm ever going to this event again.
I've been attending it every year since the 1990s.

Chaps, can I have a volunteer for the Saturday to perform a hard but rewarding task on behalf of the club please....

I've been contacted by a guy called Nick Wilkinson from Adrian Flux, who's organising something to celebrate their 50th. This includes a place at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, on the Hamilton Straight apparently, and food and drink will be provided. Unfortunately it's just one person per club so is there anyone who's got no mates who'd like to give it a go? Need to know ASAP so I can tell him!

That’s a nice idea norms buts there’s four of us going on Saturday in our gang things might get moody if I nip off for a free corporate lunch , l will pass

Whereabouts is the SEC gathering? I can't find any maps ahowing where each car club is. A mate is racing this weekend so I'm based at the Wing.

Thanks to Ken for organizing and thanks to Ian and Paul for the shelter.
On returning on Sunday morning from our accommodation at the salubrious National Badminton Centre - great accommodation and price plus fantastic Chinese restaurant 1/2 mile away - George and I pulled in for petrol.
On coming out of the forecourt shop a gent was looking at my car.
"Very nice" he said
"Thanks, but it's not real I said"
"I know he said, but you made a good job of it (praise indeed!)"
Anyway we started chatting and it turns out he has a red one, but was not driving it at the weekend as he was competing in some races. He said he would try to come over to the shelter, weather and races permitting

Hi Steve,
That was Paul Tattersall. He's got a real Stratos, and he was racing his Ensign F1 car.

I'll be back with more, and a report, later.
