@suraj and everyone, I'm willing to book us a club stand at Santa Pod this June, because I haven't done any meets for a while, and organise everybody's tickets etc. If ok? I know its a long way off yet and we can't even be certain it'll definately happen, but I think its a fairly good bet that we'll be okay for car meets by June.
Its good to see there's a bit of interest. Santa Pod online Booking Office is still closed. But we just have to wait and see. As soon as there is news myself or @lambert will let you know.
I'm in and I know at least two other M3 mates who arent that active on the forum who are also looking for something to drive to in the summer
Just checked again. Tickets still not on sale yet. But the vibe coming from Boris et al seems fairly positive at the moment, so I'm feeling hopeful.
Looks like this is booked a week too early after boris’s recent announcement, I really don’t want to miss yet another one of these.
