I bought a new sleeping bag ;D I bought a new tent and would suggest that drinking copious amounts of Newcastle Brown whilst tent shopping isn't really the way forward as i have ended up buying whilst pissed a very expensive tent and can't afford a new sleeping bag ;D

I get the paypal bit and taking a printed receipt.. but not the bit above anyone? if you have raced with them before ( last year counts ) then if you drop helen greathead a pm on the facebook page with any changes then she will sort it out beforehand so you just collect your numbers on the day with your paypal receipt. otherwise i think its take it with you and queue again... Im hoping there is a seperate tent for those that have already signed on and payed. Hope this helps.

yeah i agree... also... do you have to pay a gate entry as well as a race entry? Trev / Bishop has been on the forum earlier this evening, surely he could answer some of the confusion (from the horses mouth)......... im aware events like this must be a massive headache to put on, but if your going to use a forum as advertising for an event at least give answers where things are being missunderstood... unanswered questions over on the scooter racing forum too.... this was nearley a points scoring BSSO round.... im very happy to support this event and will be doing , last years was great.. But i can honestly say i know more scooterists (locally) that arent attending than are......... last year i was saying the opposite........ heres hoping it lives up to its BIG claims......

Trev re band, I just texted my mate Roy who has a band called TVOD, they cant do it tho as the lead singer is away but they would be up for it and would be perfect for this event if you fancied them to do it next year. They play Clash, Ramones, Toots and the Maytalls,Madness,Specials,Stone Roses,Pistols to name a few, I know they are great cos I used to play with them. I will message you with a contact no then you can talk direct with Roy for next year if you like, Iain.
