Only 10 weeks until the event and I am looking forward to catching up with everyone again. If you would like a copy of the entry form please send me a PM or an email. It is just being modified at the moment. The website will have a copy of this form and other details when it is officially launched.
The following is the Proposed Program. If there are any changes I will post them on here and the website. There is a possibility that we will have a guest speaker on Friday after the Driver's briefing. I will confirm those details at a later date.
