Great looking car
Depends what you are really after.
Best Club is nyloc. The website is quiet as its more of a proper club than just a forum. They meet on the 4th tuesday evening every month (except december) at the buckles inn A64 and its a good bunch of people. I go most months so if you do pop up introduce yourself (Im in the primer grey exige v6) and ill make sure I introduce you to a few people. They also arrange regular sunday drives, euro trips, trackdays, etc It has to be the best club near you.
Best forum is probably The Lotus Forum. Seloc probably has more posts but the people on TLF are nicer.
Ive only done one trackday this year in the v6 and that was earlier this month but i definitely have the bug now. I have abbeville booked for may 16, anglesey in march 15 and looking to do spa and oulton park too next year. Lotus on track are quite competitive price wise and in my very limited experience seem to be a decent outfit.

Thanks for the info gents 
That sounds great Crouchydc. Typically Ive picked completely the wrong time of year to get involved if there is no meet in December but Ill be there in January. The car has been bought for track work but Im more than up for the more social events too.
Ill look at NYLOC and Lotus on Track. My plan was to go for the Platinum package with BAT but Ill see what Lotus on Track have to offer. It would be more fun to play with Lotus owners rather than the usual generic track day mix of cars.
Im trying to have the car prep finished by late December so I can get to Outlon Park on the 19th. We are playing with the brakes (pads and fluid), suspension, geometry, wheels, tyres and harnesses.

It would be good to see you at a nyloc event and there are a few nyloc members that are track regulars so im sure you will find a few like minded people.
Although Im not a track regular yet I intend to do as many as I can afford in 2016.
Out of interest will you be doing the geometry work etc yourself or do you use a particular garage, as id be interested to hear of local reputable garages that could help assist me with the set up with some of the mods i have planned too.

These seem to cover all bases regarding suspension setup, fairly local.

I'm using Mick Gardner Racing in Barnsley. They are a key Ohlins centre and designed the Ohlins for, and are suppliers to, Koenigsegg, McLaren, Ginetta, Ariel and Lotus, amongst others.
They have a real depth of knowledge and experience when it comes to Lotus's.
He has also started buying the ex development cars, I bought my car from them.
