Save Donington 7th March

Anyone free on the 7th March and facny a run out?

Just been looking over at PCGB and they're organising a gathering for the Save Donington day on the 7th March.

As its down near a good few of the members here just wondered if anyone fancies an informal get together, its even near Tux so we could have a badge panel competition at his In-laws [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Porka won't be on the road, but if they don't mind a Beema/Golf/Focus joining in ........

i will be there, Dave i think a quick count of who would like to go and then an email to the fellow sorting it all out and we should get our own parking spot there. looks like an intresting day, always loved donny (NOT OSMAND). [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Wife's work shift permiting I should be able to make it.

Doesn't matter what car your in, just thought it'd be as Rob says an interesting day out, will be a lot of clubs and cars there just thought it would be great day to attend.

I thought it was pretty cool that Nico Ferrari's race prep 944 was on the home page as well [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Only a few weeks away but I'd be up for it.

I'll do my best to be there. My wife works Sundays so they are "Dad & Daughter" days. If she wants to come then no prob...if not then who knows!

I worked at Donington for many years and would have loved to go ...BUT, I'll be in France !!!

Sod's law! Looking forward to it, should be agreat day, never been since '88 when I went to Monsters of Rock, bad year as it goes 2 people died when GNR where on stage.
Iron Maiden were bloody fantasic though

I remember it well ! The best times up there were the first bike GP and the TransAtlantic races.
I was on stage when Kiss played, It was Awesome.
I worked there when When Wheatcroft first bought the place when I was 16 and then went back when I was 21 for about 10 years.
