End of term do 2016
Discussion
Hi all,
As we all know Geoff and linda have stepped down from organising it, and i dont think anyone has offered to help John sort it out.
In a moment of madness im prepared to offer to sort something, and I'll have a chat with john to see if needs any help or already has plans.
The only thing is If i sort it it would have to be after Oulton and not on the same weekend as Im At Spa for the Classic that weekend.
SO my question here before I See if john wants someone to organise it is does anyone object to the following
a) Me Organising it
b) It being in the midlands somewhere ( central for most people)
c) Not at the last race weekend
or failing that does anyone want to volunteer to organise on on the oulton weekend

Hi Graham.
Well volunteered! Midlands fine.
Not on the Oulton date fine as we now have two races that day in any case.
I think the sooner a date can be circulated the better as it gives everyone the chance to get their act together and try to make sure there is a good attendance. That is presupposing that John is in favour.

Just to throw a spanner in the works here, the end of season 'do' has traditionally been on the day of the final meeting (since 1989 actually, although I cannot speak for my 'sabbatical' years). As two races are back for Oulton in September (instead of 'black ice' October), I suspect there will be a big turn-out with a correspondingly large attendance for the dinner/dance. By definition, prize-giving can only take place at season-end and what better than after a double-header at one of the world's most beautiful and challenging circuits. We will all be there to celebrate the season and, of course, it's more cost effective to combine the two. No disrespect to Graham (who I am sure would organise it with Wehrmacht-like efficiency) but a trip to the Midlands is, for many Tuscan people, not much different to going the extra miles to Oulton. I will, therefore, offer, subject to John Reid's approval, to organise the event providing it takes place on the Saturday night after Oulton.
Back In The Saddle Martin ?
Or am i remiss in my presupposition (whilst expectant of the former, of course
) ?
How about you organise an Oulton bash on the September race weekend ,and Graham takes care of the Midlands based celebrations in the traditional October.
Two piss ups would suit me just fine..

.How about pre-season and mid-season drinks as well as Oulton and 'traditional'? October. There's nothing traditional about October if the last race is in September. Joking apart, there is an obvious synergy about having the dinner at the final meeting. But, the key words here are 'subject to John Reid's approval'. As for being back in the saddle, to coin a phrase, never say never again (geddit!).

Now i wonder if the same trick will work to get some of you buggers to write some words for the web site and sprint.... Updated driver profiles from everyone would be a start!
