novice group were OK too??? i guess the problem is sometimes when novices have fast bikes, but have never been on track they are fast in some parts(straights) and wobbly in others(not so confident)

I was one of those, if not that person! To justify myself I had done one track day in July at Brands, then went to Jerez, low sided quickly at angel nieto on the first morning which swung my confidence-o-meter from a small +ve to a fair -ve.

I then booked TA5 determined to build my confidence.

It was a great day with good people around me, plenty of friendly advice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The size of the novice group sorted itself out after a few sessions and had no problems or incidents - thank goodness. And unofficially, by the end of the day, I had knocked 15secs a lap off my time.

You could argue that I could only improve on my time - but I did and went home a happy bunny.
Thanks to all those involved in the organising.
BTW about that £20...
