A message to Steve Webb really as I believe he is closest. Might you or any others be going? My dad and I plus about 4 or 5 others from the Kent & East Sussex section are going for the weekend.

We will be driving down in the Spider on the Friday. :smoke:

I don't know too much about the history of it yet but it does look good, especially as its the 70th Anniversary.

Yep, I'll the there again this year, don't know if it will be just the one day or both, I'm only about 90 mins away to the south. Be good to catch up with you Jack.

Great stuff. Will be good to meet you. Obviously, will be in touch closer to the time.

Were you once a member of the Kent and East Sussex AROC section?

Saturday is usually rally day, with all the classic cars running about the countryside visiting the various Chateaux, and Sunday is race day when everyone parks up in the centre of the Angouleme and poses, then have lunch and go and bake whilst watching the racing and getting slowly deafened.

A few pics from last year are here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/31065742@N08/sets/72157607623051692/)

Its a good weekend, but bring your shorts and sunblock!

[Steve Webb]

Good to finally meet you there Jack. That is one hell of a bright jacket as well!!

Shame the weather was so crap at the end of the day.

Great to meet you Steve....not sure if that is a compliment on the Alfa jacket or not...my missus says I should only where it in the dark so no one sees.

Yeah...no sunblock needed on race day! What a great event though. I'v still got to sort those photos out - I will upload a bundle to the website soon.
