Yep, booked yonks ago.

I've put my head in the lions mouth elsewhere, it might get a bit more interest or attract a load of nay sayers

Years ago you had to book early or you didn't get a place.

The trackday is pretty much a must have/must do for me.

If support is waning just go for a Ducati only day and can the other bike second day IMHO.

Just needs a bit more promotion perhaps...........oops I could be sticking my head above the parapet again

That was in the days of a much larger membership, not sure what it is now Ray but I would guess 50% of those days or less

What's happened to the AGM this year, thought it was a good place to hold it ???

That's true Gordon is has reduced, but also 5 years ago we creamed off 50% of our guaranteed trackday entrants and sent them DD racing-it's been getting harder ever since.

I've booked the two days off work so will be there with the cameras again.

If Steve (aka Topi Too) needs pics to do a poster/ad then let me know mate. Like has been said it needs publicising as it is a great day if you're a Ducati owner regardless of the politics that have gone in the past within the club.

It'd be a great shame if it weren't to continue, not only cos of the event but also as an accolade to all the graft that John (Monty) has put in over the years.

Hello Guido

Thankyou for the offer of pictures, however that TBH was only part of the issue/problems
anyway moving on I have redone this poster yet again and attached a low resolution picture.
As there has been no response from the MT to date the best I can do is supply a link of a
Hi res PDF file that you can all print out at will if you so wish.
Unfortunately I do not have access to any printers otherwise I would have printed some out myself.

This is the biggest event in the DSC calendar the impression I get there are only a select few
who even know this is happening . . .

I am sorry to say it's shamefull and it's not the first time.



TopiToo
