    Hi all, hope this hasn't been asked/answered before, but are we able to have camp fires at Anglesey? I'm suffering the embarrassment of tooling around the circuit in a 9-5 estate...., the upside being I've got load-space to spare, so can bring WOOD!

    Yes / No?

    Ta,
    Rob.

Really looking forward to it, looks like a really well planned event (well, as much as anything involving beer can be!) and hopefully the weather will hold too. Not sure if I'll be bringing the 911 or MX-5 yet, will let the weather decide that one for me.

    Anyways, look forward to the weekend and meeting you guys then
    Bring the 911.

    As Kieran mentioned, we are lucky to have some drivers at the club that are very very good, IMO better than some instructors.

    On the day we can point a few out to you and it's well worth getting some good passenger rides, I felt this useful in learning, and hoepfully some people will have time to sit in with you for a few laps and give you a few pointers. A lot of it comes down to seat time and practise as well though, you're a smart guy and you will start to feel your own and the cars limits, just do so on corners with plenty of run off

    I will be one of the blaggers after as many passenger rides as I can get, as I am not taking anything on track

    Please leave your passenger seats in everybody!
