***NEWPORT***

We have a serious problem concerning the booking at Newport. For reasons as yet unknown, instead of the 11-4 slot we requested we have got 8-11am, this can be moved to 9-12 but this is likely to be a problem for anyone who lives further away than Cardiff (for example, Rob Gillions who is supposed to be organising the event certainly can't make the early time).

 

We have been offered the alternative slot of 6pm to 10pm which is a bit more plausible though an evening event on a Sunday might not be desperately popular. The other alternative is to cancel the event which is hardly ideal (there is no chance of changing date, the preferred slot is booked up until April next year). The idea would be to have everyone ready to get on the track as soon as it is available so the races can be done in the first hour or so. This will mean that those who have long drives will be able to get some racing in and still get home before they have to get up for work!

 

Could all those who were planning on going to Newport please let me know if they WILL attend the late event as I have to confirm what we will be doing today.

A morning event (preferably 9-12) would be possible, as we had planned to stay with relatives in Hereford, not too far away.

 

Given the considerable expense of hiring Newport, if an event goes ahead but the numbers attending are very low, I think we should seek a refund (as long as we can demonstrate that the fault is theirs).
