It’s not sold out yet. And maybe we could ask for a dedicated area as PcGb used to do? Or, like we did with the Goodwood Breakfast Club, meet up beforehand, drive in as one and park up as one. I mean - just how many are we likely to be?

And as Ian said - he knows the event manager there. Could you make a tentative inquiry anyway Ian?

I think any 'National' get-together would need to be much further north ...

Centre of the UK is meant to be Dunsop Bridge north of Manchester! Nobody lives there...
Centre of England was always argued over - Morton in Derbyshire or Meriden in Warwickshire...
I reckon it's Lostwithiel, but others may argue.

Lostwithiel isn't in England - it's Cornwall!!

Somebody give me some dates and I'll see what I can do - have a big French road trip , 3 UK rallies , 2 Irish hillclimbs, GRRC mems, Spa 6 hours and a possible Rgruppe Pyrenees trip in late Sept to factor in!
However second half July and August good.................
