[Robin Craig]

Dear All,

Any and all persons in Allied vehicles or aged cars (like last year) are invited to participate, see details below.

A couple of "notes".

1 Don't blame myself or the Festival for the late invite, there is a negligent 3rd party who will remain nameless.

2 Any queries either post them into this thread or email me directly. Dont PM me.

3 I will be handing out forms for tax receipts for participants on site.
