12 July 2010 - Knighton Autotest Sunday 18th July
Hi Fellow Car Clubbers!
We are back to the unsealed surfaces for our next few events, the first of which is at Knighton Sandpit this Sunday, 18th July. Its therefore time to dust off those offroad racers and get ready for a return to one of the clubs favourite venues.
Sign on in advance by paypal from the club website for £10 (plus a nominal paypal fee of about 60p) or via £10 cash or cheque to me at Luccombe Hall Hotel, 8 Luccombe Road, Shanklin PO37 6RL, or alternatively you can enter on the day for £12.
The paypal link and the entry form for postal entries can be found here: http://www.iowcc.co.uk/forms.html
On the day entry must be made by 9.30am at the absolute latest, no exceptions.
In case you are unaware of the recent changes to entries on the day, this is the procedure your club has chosen to adopt:
Sign-on Deadline – ALL competitors must have completed sign-on by 09.30am on the day of the event. Advance sign on is available in several formats so there is no excuse to be late for an event and not have signed on.
Drivers Briefing and Trackwalk - This is now COMPULSORY for all drivers and will commence at 09.30am sharp. During the trackwalk you will be issued with a wristband to prove you have attended the Drivers Briefing and Trackwalk. No competitor will be allowed to run under any circumstances if they do not have a wristband.
Exceptions – There will be, if required, a second Drivers Briefing and Trackwalk at 1pm for those people who had signed on in advance but were unable to make it to the 09.30am drivers briefing. To qualify to attend the second briefing you must have contacted me to let me know in advance of 09.30am on 07717 844767 . There must also be exceptional circumstances present – this is not an excuse to have a lay in and if it is abused you will be unable to compete and forfeit your entry. Day members may be allowed to sign-on after 09.30am and attend the 2nd briefing and trackwalk but that will be strictly at the discretion of the Membership Secretary or Assistant Membership Secretary.
Unfortunately due to other commitments I have been unable to arrange a pre-event pub meet for this event, but feel free to drop your entry into the above address or see me or Matt Price on the day before 9.30am – I will be there from 08.45am.
Lets hope the recent good weather holds and we have another cracking event at the sandpit.

31 May 2010 - BAE pre sign-on pub meet Wednesday 7pm at the Bargemans Rest.
I shall be at the Bargemans rest in Newport from 7pm instead of 8pm as Steve Wells stated in the other thread. Reason i have brought the meet forward as i work nights and moving the time forward a hour gives me more time to socialize and carry out sign on duties.
Would be very helpful if all members make an effort to attend these pre-event pub meets or alternatively use paypal from the club website to make payment. By signing on in advance helps with the event on the day and allows sign on to be dealt with swiftly and quickly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE- PLEASE PAY ATTENTION
