Dad's Day Out 2011
Hi Guys and Gals,
Dad's Day Out is a charity day held at Dunsfold (Top Gear Track near Guilford, Surrey) in aid of The Childrens Trust. This years event is on Saturday 14th May and I need an extra 10 marshals who can help out for a morning or afternoon shift.
The day comprises mainly of hot rides in super cars for which people pay lots of money. Last year there were plenty of Ferrari's, Lambos, Porches, Aerial Atoms, Astons and much much more.
Marshals will be given a lunch voucher and sent a family ticket so their loved ones can join them. The reason for a half day shift is because the organisers want you and your family to enjoy the afternoon or morning when you are not working.
It's a pretty easy going day and last year was a great deal of fun so please let me know if you are able to help with this very worthy cause.

I would have volunteered for this as it sounds like a good day out. However, it clashes with a small football match in London that I am going to.
Good luck with this and I hope it might be repeated again next year.

That place was much better when it had a racetrack in it.

If anyones is at a loose end Saturday I highly reccommend coming along. It's a bit different and it's for a good cause. I was there last year and jumped at the opportunity to sign up again.

Ditto that.
Wasn't just Ferraris but allsorts.
Best bit last year was seeing my nephew after his ride in the Ariel Atom!

Well I was already short with 11 marshals booked but only 7 turned up. This makes it very difficult to plan things especially as this event is once a year. It really didn't leave the organisers with a good impression of our commitment sadly.

Never fair to drop out without at least the courtesy to say so in advance!
Try to get the date publicised very early for next year and give us less excuse for booking up elsewhere . . .

I had a nice day, halfway down the runway (my daughter said I was so far away I looked like an orange jelly baby) and the family had a great day.
Standing by the exit to the Followthrough with the really quick stuff going past down the runway was an experience, as were the Teslas. The only thing you hear is the tires on the track - and the big engine in the car they've just gone past.
Can I sign up for next year now?
