MrSparkle - I think we'll be doing some small-scale "trial runs" of the weekend's racing but done during one afternoon/evening sometime in the not-too-distant future (using STW staffers and helpers).. You can come along to one of those if you want

I was cunning and said I'd book this years Centre Parcs trip, would you believe it June was the best time.

security for the car park?

You'll have to park at the bottom of the hill and camp at the top, so your car will be sat unattended for the weekend, we just thought it wise to have security/car park attendants around.

Lowey, you've got the job! I'll send you an email...
