Dear All

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.

Had I not been on holiday I’d have come down for this as usual especially if it had helped with numbers but alas I’m not here

Cheers - All done.

These two days in theory will be busy as we've recently cancelled 2 fridays so there's all the date swops to do but as of tonight fast both days and Novice Sunday are only 1/2 full....

On a brighter note where's supper Friday night ?

Not sure what I'll do on the Friday evening. I'm staying in Camarthen. I was hoping to watch a bit of track action in the afternoon but that's scrubbed now.

I've been holding fire because I'm pencilled in for playing a festival that weekend in the Peak District, which may well bollox any plans for titting around in circles at Pembrey - I ought to know by this coming weekend. Sorry!
