Stoke Row Motorsport Weekend

[Colin McKay]

Last year we roasted in an old saloon. This year we're bringing a soft top which leaks like the home office so rain is more than likely on the cards!

[delta]

Woo hoo just back from committee meeting and we now have 35 entries for the tour . . Our poor comp sec last week he was worried as. We only had around 20 entered now he is panicking as might not have enough awards for all the entrants

Dont say that as we are in a Morgan.....

[Colin McKay]

Iain, amongst all the awards is there one for most water in the footwell?

[SAMD]

All the very best Iain. More power to your elbow man (and the weather looks good)

[delta]

I am getting streesed,Thanks for the good wishes . Went and mapped out the bike ride last night. So lucky to have the wonderfull countryside around the Chiltern's,here.. Found a great pub by the river in Wallingford as well.

[Peter Mallett]

Not far away is the Shillingford Bridge. that used to be a good pub too.

[Colin McKay]

It will be fine as always and everyone will have a great time. Go and check out the pubs again. Are there any sneak previews for tenthers?

Good heavens.

There's power and influence for you ...

Status Quo too much to take on?

Status Quo too much to take on?

'Fraid not Grant. A spot of ill health in the family involving an ambulance and CCU didn't make the Quo viable, Iain will have to put up with me instead.

[delta]

Sorry to hear about poorly family member . Hope all is well and I will look forward to seeing you Sunday . Thanks

[Alan Crook]

Hope everything goes well, you should have about 8 marshals including Chigley.

[delta]

Thanks Alan,All the grass is now cut and I am getting the two entrance's to the field rollered tomorrow. Just hope we dont get a very low Lamborghini and it looses its splitter.

[Mike Bell]

Iain, are the race cars parking on grass? If so I'll put the wets on so as not to get the slicks covers in cuttings....

In honour of the occasion I have polished the roof of my van. Don't ask.....

[delta]

Yes Mike all on Grass.

That does not sound too good so I hope all is working out now.

On first reading of your original post I sort of assumed that you had somehow managed to get the entire Pageant thing cancelled .... now that would have been something!

BTW G P, I thought you had something on this weekend. Will you be making an appearance.

[Gary Critcher]

Brilliant fun today, Iain, well done! Not too brilliant weather, but at least it wasn't wet. I thought the crowd looked even bigger this year?

[delta]

Thanks Gazza. Looking forward to seeing the film of the show . Did you manage to record the vicar giving the show his blessing . I thought he was brilliant . Full report later but many thanks to all my ten tenth friends who gave the show support .

[Mike Bell]

Having spent the morning participating in The Tour in an open car, the overcast sky was a good compromise. Not wet and not scorchio! We followed the route correctly but missed a couple of clues for the Q & A element while I was distracted checking our progress was indeed correct! Only gripe was that due to the large and apparently ravenous crowd, the excellent 'ladies that cook' were running out of grub by the time we got back to Nuffield! Maybe tour needs to start a bit earlier next year or take a bit less time, as could have done with more of the afternoon taking in all the display cars and chatting!

[Colin McKay]

A very pleasant day out, seal of approval from Mrs M who headed straight for the refreshments when we finished the tour whereas I, like Mike, got chatting and missed out although managed to get something very black in a bun later on. Everyone I spoke to (and there were lots of them) thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was surely the biggest ever turn out of cars & people. Let's hope the charity coffers reflect that!

Well I am very upset, been saying to Grahame about doing the interview at the show and apparantly this was his responce when he was told by a marshall I had micraphone in hand ready for the chat.
