Looks good.  I think the membership is now £15/yr as it just left my paypal account last week.  Worth every penny, if not for the banter on here alone

easily worth it for the banter alone as Greg says, the rest is just a bonus

[MikMac40]

Interesting question. Will check.

[MikMac40]

Thanks John.  

[GreyDJ2]

No code. Just select Mk2Cav in the list of Clubs and book for 2 or more nights and the discount will be applied. This link will get you to the right place.

Also tons more info on the event is there as well.

Good job Ian.  Didn't sell it I see, common sense prevailed

I've not managed to free up time for a local meet.  Now the daily is back with another engine hopefully I can.
