Let’s hope 2022 is better than 2020-2021.  I think it will be amazing when we can get together for an annual meet.

Thanks.

It’s open to all members.  Curborough has a track so we use this Saturday & Sunday.  We camp on site from Friday.  Hog roast Saturday evening. Sunday we run the show and shine.  It’s just a chilled weekend.  Getting to know other members.

What’s the deal with track passes? I know anyone that bought before had the chance to roll over and they were sold out but have people dropped out?

I’m going to be going through the list to email all track pass holders to check they can do new date and go from there.  Should know more early new year.

I would like to attend this all things going to plan etc, my dilemma is.... I have a camper van so there's absolutely no way i'll sleep in a tent, also I'd rather stay in that than a hotel. There's zero chance of the missus coming and driving either the van or the Golf so it looks like I'll have to put the golf on a trailer. I was never fond of trailer queens and the golf certainly isn't to a standard which would even warrant putting it on a trailer but realistically if I want to attend that's the most practical way of getting there.
Please feel free to mock me when I arrive with it on tow!!!

Sounds like a perfectly acceptable way to get the best of both worlds. No mocking required. And you won’t be the only one I’m sure. DannyP usually rocks up in a Land Rover full of gear and his mk2 on the trailer.

If you look at VW widows signature it says it’s 16th 17th??? I don’t care but my calendar is beginning to look at right mess as I scribble the dates out and change them !

😂 I didn’t see the ‘21
That and the post that said ‘new dates emailed to existing ticket holders’ was enough to confuse me!

Right, you will have to put me in the direction of the 2021 date as I have gone through the shop control panel and can't see anything that says the date is 2021.  There was only one thing on the shop for 2021 and that was a private section @Eddypeck

Shelly, It’s in your signature at the bottom of your posts. You’ll need to be on a computer to see it as they don’t show on a phone.

I think it’s your posts that added the confusion, the shop is ok, apart from the fact I don’t think the ticket sales confirm the dates, but I can’t check as I’m on my mobile now and I can’t even find how to get into the shop from the forum on a mobile
Title: Re: National meet 2022; just confirmed date
Post by: vw-widow on March 04, 2022, 07:11:20 PM
@Eddypeck signature has now been changed :) That's probably why I didn't think to change it.
I have checked the shop; the dates where added once confirmed, obviously correct me if you do see anything.

I’m guessing still no spare track passes, no drop outs or cancellations, or capacity to add a few extra spaces. ?????

Not at the minute. 

I think Mathew @trackslag is comfortable with 20 a day on track.  Less waiting time.

Hey Shelly,

What are the rules regarding passengers around the track?
As in, do we have a minimum age?
Thinking about taking my son on a VERY slow lap, so he can have his first track experience!

Looking forward to this.
Not had my tickets yet assume they are in the post?

I have a suggestion: How about we display some "windscreen write-up" in our cars. Then it helps us know who's who?
I'll recognise Monkey's "beast" and Red Rescue, Tim's Lucy and Mark's Vincent too but then I'd be clueless about many of the others.

Look forward to seeing you all there.
