sorry I edited the post by accident.... you were superstars and not being on track I don't always appreciate the hard work done by everyone else

Massive congratulations to Panda for organising a such a brilliant weekend, I can't begin to imagine how much time and effort it's taken but however much it was, it was well worth it, thanks John.

Also a huge "Thank You" to all the other volunteers who help everything run so smoothly.

See you there again next year

[Terry Everall]

Brilliant weekend despite some trying weather so thanks to all the team

[davidgh]

John,

 

Apart from your lamentable inability to control the weather, you and your team produced another excellent event. It was slickly run, but friendly as a club event should be.

 

If you got a little stick for "failing" to give us a fourth timed run on Sunday, you may take it as a compliment  --  it means we were all enjoying ourselves so much we were loath to stop.

 

Giving 100+ people a thoroughly good time whilst enhancing club funds and (thanks to Julie) also raising £750 (IIRC) for Hope Against Cancer is something about which i think you should be justifiably proud.

 

Many thanks

Thanks to everyone involved, great event, shame about the weather, but managed get some half decent runs in.

[maurici]

Big thanks from here also. Have been an amazing Weekend.

 

Please, don't blame about the weather... was not that bad. Mornings sowers, with Sunny afternoons drying everithing!

 

Great weekend!

[tkm_dave]

Consistently the most enjoyable event of the year in my opinion. Huge thanks and congratulations to all of the organisers, especially to Mr Panda himself! All the hard work really pays off and shows in the final product, proud to be a member of the WSCC.

Congratulations to all the class winners and those who had PBs but regardless of the lap times and weather I'm sure it was enjoyed by all!

I've lost the bussines card of the photographer...

Could someone paste the webpage here?

Also... I'm sure that being a club event... a lot of our members was shooting pictures... don't be shy and share!! I've love pictures. Is like being there again!!

[Andy Banks]

A couple to add to your list who are also very much in need of hibernation. Much like Nigel, Marcus S and myself were out all day Saturday and Sunday morning in all types of weather in the paddock, getting the competitors lined up and ready to go, assisting with bump starts, noise testing, pushing hot cars, changing wheels so the guys could get their practices in, feeding in double drivers, stopping spectators (and some drivers) from being run over, erecting the Hope tent, etc, etc. and generally trying to keep a smile on our faces. We got soaked to the skin and sunburnt on the same day!

 

But we loved it and will be back as usual to it all again next year

 

And of course a certain Panda, as others have said. Yet another cracking weekend, well run with minimal issues, great Friday track day (thanks Adam) too.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

And another to add to the list; David Birch, who spent the Saturday as the third startline marshal with Stephen and I; he had a busy and often soggy day, not just feeding the cars into Stephen and I on the line, but also briefing them of any hold ups, checking that their belts, helmets and Hans devices were all done up/fitted properly, and just like Andy and Marcus, giving more than the odd one a push!
