Platinum Member Volant165 Posted May 8, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi All, Thanks to those that have signed up already. In order to have a fighting chance to match or exceed the amount of money we raised for Kent and Surrey Air Ambulance last year (£2500 at this event!!) we are in need of a few more drivers for the charity event, especially Sunday. Please let Jules know if you can help ASAP as the event is approaching fast. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Volant165 Posted May 8, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted May 8, 2019 For those of you joining the display, Jim put this together last year for the rigs on the stand if you want to use it or bring your own highlighting any features or mods. We get a great footfall on the stand with a lot of queries from the public about our Jeeps. I am sure we will have a great stand location again this year too. ps: We have left the section for the price of those mods off the form in the event that your partners are attending Speedfest!

Platinum Member digger Posted May 9, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Jules, I've filled in the entry on the JOC shop, correctly I hope. I 've applied for club stand on Sat only. I may be able to do Sunday too but I may not which is why I haven't entered before. If there's space on Sunday and I can stay all day plus you want me to, I guess we can sort it out at the time. is this ok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brands Hatch is very strict about access, not us. Tuesday is the cutoff for us to provide them the reg and driver details for each day. Brands will not issue us tickets or give access beyond that date. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
