Whats happening with the brands trackday then ?
 

Any news on numbers etc ?

Cancelled mate, there was very little interest and we were being pushed to confirm this week so I pulled the plug. I have also returned the Oulton day to MSV who will now run it themselves with us being offered spaces-I will post the info as soon as I get it.

Club trackday this year will be 21st and 22nd August at Cadwell-complete with camping, beer and dancing girls-well Ruth, Kelly and Lisa anyway..................:o

John

so that's 1 up North and none down South... if that doesn't shut some people up, nothing will...

thanks for all the hard work Monty.

Well thanks for trying Il Duce.
There will be mucho dissapointment when I tell herself tonight :(
Cadwell is very difficult for us to organise with 2 dogs that cant go into kennels.
Unless you know someone near cadwell who can day-board dogs ?

I was well up for it. I will not be doing cadwell. I was really up for a blast round the hatch and getting to meet new peeps. I could not do two days at cadwell so the trip is not worth me doing. Maybe if only one day had been planned for cadwell there would possibly have been more takers.
Oh well! just have to book up with a regular company instead.

:mad:Fcukers:mad: I was up for it too...

What happens to my cheque, or shall I just cancel it?

For me the reason I didn't put in for Brands or Oulton was nothing to do with the cost or that Cadwell is two days.
It was all down to having to have the money in at this early stage, I've just had to MOT the race van and insure it, at the end of this month it needs taxing and on top of that I have just paid out for a race entry and a trackday as practice.
None of which can be blamed on Desmo Due as I was racing well before the series came into being and for a few years now the start of the race season has always been a costly time for me.

So!!! if cadwell had been one day only, would they have put their money on brands. There was a lot of interest for brands in the begining.

Cadwell can be one day if you want. The option is there to have either one or both of the days if you wish.

There's always "lots of interest" but the if the deposits don't come, then it won't happen.
TA5 was a loss maker, despite there being "lots of interest". Monty has had to play it this way to protect the funds.

As I say it would have made no difference to me as its all down to the timing of having to pay out the money, although the extra day at Cadwell works out really cheap, not just the entry cost but als no Extra travelling, which at 160+ miles each way in the van adds up to a fair bit.

I know that you could book only one day, but for me i cannot see the point in trekking there for one day only. I am not able to do the two days.

in Cadwell's favour i think it helps being pretty much in the middle north/south wise!
not taking anything away from the others cos i love Oulton etc etc but you have to get the right numbers to be able to do 'dsc' day and not lose money. Thats the bottom line.
Oh yeah and cadders is a stonking track too! :eureka::smug:

brands was too expensive in my eyes for the indy circuit, would love to do brands but they price themselves out of it in my eyes. now cadwell i would love to do but canta fford the petrol to and fro cornwall on my own. are both cadwell days ducati only ???

Day One is Ducati only and Day Two is any marque. Cheers.

Monty??? What's going to happen about cheques sent to pay for Brands...?
You sending them back to us?
Lx

All cheques already sent for Brands and or Oulton will be destroyed. If you really want the cheque back contact Lizzie and I am sure she will send them back-but remember it does mean extra work for her. Credit cards won't have been debited yet anyway so no problem with them.
Sorry to have to dissapoint people but the 'lets wait until closer to the date and check the weather/finance' cannot work for the club-it is too big a financial risk for us at nearly £15,000 for the day-that's why we structured it the way we did to allow us an escape route before we had to commit money. Brands is a good track, but it is too expensive now IMHO, and we have to fill it or lose money-as we did last year.

John

nice and honest of you there monty

Bugger - must post my cadwell one - sat on the dining room table - sorry Monty.

Couldn't do Brands sorry - too far away for me.

Just got back from hols and found out the Brands Trackday is cancelled, was looking forward to it, invested in new trailer etc. Its a shame was looking forward to meeting other members. Oh well Cadwell it will have to be.

wavy, theres always members at Brands, just keep an eye out on the boards and I'm sure they'll be others there to help. have some banter with and generally enjoy the day ...

Dibs is right, I'm sure some of the DSC lads actually live at Brands.

And if I get the job I applied for, I might live at Brands too!
