Not good news but we've had to cancel the Friday Trackday - so will just run the Saturday and Sunday. Sign of the times, I'm afraid - although the Saturday bookings are Ok, at the moment Sunday's not good and Friday even worse - even with projected future bookings between now and then.

I'm sorting out the paperwork over the next few days so you'll have to bear with me - but if you want to contact me pls use the E mail address [email protected] ONLY.

Apologies but it's sign of the current UK market.

Consdiering all the talk and chat about UK dates i was quite surprised to see a decent turn-out last week at Silverstone. But that may be as it was combined with the one they cancelled the month before as they'd hired the track out for the new Brad Pitt movie.
But yeah they're all suffering at the moment, so i don't think you're alone in this problem at all. It's a shame, but if it doesn't work financially, then it makes very little sense.
I'll see if @Welsh Muffin fancies the Sunday instead of the Friday mate and ping you a mail either way.

Given it’s my birthday on Sunday it’s very tempting. However, having done a few of these I know how I’ll be feeling from the Saturday night and not sure how well riding would go!!

Heard back from Twids - sorting out social schedules with his missus at the mo'. Hoping to at least turn up, if not ride. Watch this space.

Arrggh. I have the extended family down to stay with an unspecified end date, but was beginning to think I might come anyway. But I can't get the bloody bike in for its 600 mile service before that date. I bloody love Pembrey too

Technically I still have the R6 track bike, but although I fixed the mechanical parts after Muz threw it at the scenery, I never fixed/changed the fairing. It's due to be my winter project now I'm reclaiming the garage

I could, but I've also remembered I've just bought a motorbike so am also skint I was getting carried away

Right then, we're getting closer. I don't think anyone is coming who's not been before. So hopefully not many questions

Point of order

1. Bring licence, no licence no ride
2. Don't bring a noisy exhaust. If it fails, you go home.
3. Enjoy!

Sorry if this has been asked before, what time does the track open on the Friday for us to set up camp etc.?

U can access the circuit from 6.00pm Friday night - and up until 10.00pm. If the main electric gate is shut then ring Phil Bevan on 07885 453 191 and he'll come down and open it for you. Otherwise the main gates will be open @ 7.00am Saturday morning.

Signing On docs will be sent out Sunday night - to the E mail address you used when u booked. Please read and fill in before u arrive @ Pembrey.

As previously stated we have a new agreement with Carmarthenshire County Council regarding noise. If u fail the drive by noise meter you will have an opportunity to sort it but if it fails again then the machine is parked up. There's no 3rd/ 4th / 5th chance...I got better things to do..

Anyone stopping in for a pint then as you have to pass the pub on way to track?

Given the recent flip in the forecast, I might be heading straight for the hotel. Where is the pub?

Attached to hotel. Premier inn east

So how's everyone feeling about next weekend?

I'm beginning to have doubts tbh, looking at the forecast. Not sure I fancy 3 days on the trot getting pissed on. Let's hope things improve.

Thought it was getting better this week. It's a great little get-together with beer n chat. If the tracks wet, you go slower, or sit under the gazebo.

During the week yea, but another low coming in on Friday.

Ignore my pessimism, just my usual Sunday night shite.

TD ''Signing On'' e mails have gone out earlier - covering page should look like this :

Oh dear, I've not even looked.


However, I've slept most of the last 6 weekends in a tent in the rain, so it'd just be a bloody normal weekend for me. But with less muddy clothing
