My offer of help still stands yes.
This will be a great event. I am bloody gutted that we are going to f****** Centre Parcs then. Grr.
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. 😈
What's the gouping all about?
security for the car park?, so it's 'that' sort of area is it?
safer than 2/3 of Manchester
there is "security" at Mayhem and that's in banjo country 😉
CBA racing but will put myself up to marshall if you need any. Can only do one day though due to Daughters gymnastics comp.
Do i need to fill in a form or send an email to anyone ?
security at Mayhem is just to protect us locals from all the foreigners and the sheep from everyone!
[i]security for the car park?[/i]
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...
