Pugfest 02

Rest assured the committee has been working hard on the preparation of this event. It started last August and will continue until the last members has left the venue, so please spare a little of your own time and effort on your club in helping out on the day or in its preparation. As some of you may know if you are a regular visitor to the website, there were a number of people who wished to go back to some sort of circuit. However the level of support we get for track days, accompanied by the risk the weather brings has led us to having Prescott Hill as a suitable compromise. This venue has been chosen because it offers the nearest opportunity to that which members requested, Track action at an affordable price. Non-competitive runs up this famous Hill Climb venue will be on offer, so you will be free to chose your own pace and have the Hill all to yourself to explore the limits of your car (and driving). Plenty of parking is available for static displays and with its own pit area it should make quite a day. In addition to the things that made Pugfest 01 a success, additional attractions are being planned as this is being written, so look for the booking form in the next edition of Torque to guarantee your place.

To start with, someone to design the Pugfest 02 flyer and then volunteers to get them posted at various locations. You need to get companies aware of this event too and hopefully you can persuade them to turn up and offer goods to help lighten member's pockets on the day. Next it needs all of you to get out there and tell the world about this event. At the risk of repeating ourselves, we are of course looking for a number of volunteers to help on the day, and possibly the set-up on Saturday 27th July.
