Here's the usual reminder email just before the event. Please find below and attached copies of the info that has been sent out previously for the Track Days, 24-25 April 2010. Please read through carefully and distribute to your forums.
Note only those named on the entry lists you sent to me will be allowed onto the Station: we cannot swap names at this stage and participants cannot bring along mates on spec!
All participants need to read the event brief thoroughly (attached), and there are a couple of minor changes in the email below, so please pass on to your forum members as a final reminder, and in particular please note the following:
- IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE ENTRY LIST YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON STATION.
- EVERYONE entering the site MUST bring PHOTO ID. Drivers must bring valid driving licence (both parts if applicable).
- All drivers MUST attend the drivers brief, starting at 0845.
- Arrive in plenty of time. Note security checks can be thorough and may take some time to complete, do not expect to breeze through 10 minutes before the drivers brief starts!! The gates will be open from 0700.
- Drive considerately when approaching and leaving the site, the road passes through a residential area.
- Don't clog up the local roads waiting for other forum members to join you so that you can arrive in convoy. This has caused complaints from locals in the past.
- The route from the main entrance to the track will be clearly signposted. Anyone straying from this route will be removed from the Station.
- Airfields can be cold windy places, even in April! You will need lots and lots of warm clothing including hats and gloves, just in case.
- Anyone going on track will need to wear a helmet. All participating cars need to have a fire extinguisher in the car.
- Note any damage caused is entirely at owners risk. An indemnity form must be signed by all participants.
- The runway shoulders will be swept thoroughly so there should be far fewer stones again. However the event generates stones so still be prepared in case of stones thrown up and drive accordingly.
- Photography for commercial purposes is prohibited and there will be no access beyond the paddock and spectator area. We will have a photographer taking pictures, these will be available for purchase after the event via an internet site with all proceeds going to charity.
- Cars are not permitted on track with lights on. If your car has lights that are permanently on (e.g. Volvos, or new cars with daytime running lights) please disable or cover the lights with tape
Dum spiro, spero

Mate.. Get the postcode of the track and then go on shell website etc and find nearest branch locator!
Are you going to Marham via the A10 or the A47?
There is fuel at Swaffham, near the McDonalds, on the A47 and somewhere passed Downham on the A10 (Swaffham is closer) If you went out via Thetford, Watton on to Swaffham, you'll drive passed it
