OK OK panic over, I've found it...

The latest/last 'update' from the RC reads as follows...

Desmo Due Series 2006 – Update Note 2

This note is the 2nd of what will probably be a regular series of updates to Desmo Due entrants over the winter to keep them up to date on what will be happening next year and any changes that the Race Committee may need to advise you of.

Provisional Calendar (This will almost certainly be subject to change)

Representation has been made to the Race Committee that rather than start at the end of March, we should start the series at Brands Hatch in April. It has also been suggested that we retain the Cadwell round, but make it non-points scoring; thus the provisional calendar, subject to no further feedback from riders, now looks like:

25/26 March Cadwell Park – Full (non-points scoring)

23 April Brands Hatch – Indy

6/7 May Assen to be confirmed December

11 June Castle Coombe

8 July Oulton Park

13 August Donington Park

2/3 September Snetterton (long race Saturday, two short races Sunday)

8 October Cadwell Park – Full

To make up for the change in the 1st Cadwell race now being non-points scoring, we are looking at making Snetterton a 2 day meeting with three races (one long and two short) over that weekend. This obviously reduces everyone’s travel budget and makes up for the additional costs of going to Assen.

For the avoidance of doubt, these dates/arrangements are indicative only and will almost certainly change by the early 2006. The race committee will advise final dates once confirmed by New Era.

So I suppose nothing is confirmed yet.

We'll just have to wait and see what the 'new' RC come up with























No points for Cadwell, I can't afford it and it's bound to be snowing!!!

Plus, it means doing Cadwell, Brands and Assen all within 6 weeks.

What's that? £1000++ to find in 6 weeks?

I don't earn that much in 6 weeks

That was a possibility, but now looks like it's no problem.

Assen is points scoring.

At the moment, Cadwell in March is not (hopefully it stays that way)

Possibility yes, but it's still a problem because Assen is a step too far for a domestic novice race series. I understand the argument about Cadwell being a bit chilly in March but why make a UK race on a UK National circuit non-points scoring when we COULD fill the whole grid and MAKE those of us that can afford it travel to Europe to fight over limited spots on the COMBINED grid? Sorry mate, I apprecitae what a golden opportunity it is to race at Assen, but I'd rather pay a few bob less and take me chances at Cadwell in a FULL grid

[dickieducati]

i assume the cadwell points/no points was sorted at the weekend ?

i guess we'll hear from the MT in due course.

[Tonio600]

Assen points yes, Cadwell points no.

Folks,

If you just availed yourself of a bit of patience you would know that you would find out in good time.

In fact the e-mail regarding all of the above should go out to the riders later on today.

Patience and racers, don’t be daft!

Saturday’s meeting was nine hours long so forgive the MT for not responding sooner please, - most if not all are still glazed from it.
