Brands Hatch - 8th November 2010. Supporting The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund

Dear Members,

You may recall the following committee post asking members to nominate suitable charities for Club Scud to adopt in 2010?:


http://www.officeforexperts.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=539443&postcount=1

From this request came my proposal:

Which was agreed here subject to a suitable event being organised:

http://www.officeforexperts.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=566237&postcount=1


Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch has been booked for Monday the 8th November 2010 by Gary Eastwood for us to give rides to injured servicemen and their carers. :thumbsup:

Here are the details:

Charity supporting: Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.

Groups giving rides to: Injured servicemen & women from all branches of the forces plus members of; The Not Forgotten, Blesma, Headley Court, Haslar Co. etc.

Venue: Brands Hatch, Kent.

Date: Monday 8th November 2010.

Time: All day, likely starting at 9am.

Format: Open Pit lane, max 20 car at a time.

Noise: Usual weekday, so 105db.

Cost to subscribed Club Scud members: £0

Places available to Club Scud on track: 15 to 20:

Insurance: Track / pit organised by MSV so your insurance company will recognise them.

Club Scud members: ALL members welcome to be there on the day whether driving or not.


Unlike other events such as Dunsfold or Littlehavens, we're not going to open the list up on a "first come, first served" basis. The reasoning for this is as follows:

1. We'd like to have a broad selection of cars as we envisage each attendee taking 4 or 5 trips out in different cars. So unfortunately there won't be 10 GT4's there.:grin:

2. We want drivers who have some track experience as the safety of the passengers is paramount. Unlike the relative ease of Dunsfold or Dunton, the Indy Circuit at Brands can be tricky as anyone will know having gone down Paddock Hill for the first time! :shocked:


Please therefore PM me with the details of your car and what level of track experience you have if you would like to take part in the day.

Gary has arranged for Bute Motorsport to be there (who run his 430C) and Darren Turner in an Aston Martin. :shocked: I understand there will be some Lotus's to drive round too. :grin:

Although the earlier date at Silverstone didn't come off, this day has all the makings of being a fantastic event for Club Scud members and more importantly a whole load of fun for the servicemen and their carers who deserve it IMO. :thumbsup:

Many thanks,

Richard (rmdferrari)

Fantastic. Thanks Mandy. :thumbsup:


(thanks also to the prospective drivers who've already PM'd me their details and experience) :dude:
 
Our Grateful Thanks

To Richard and everyone at Club Scuderia that will be supporting this event,

I'm a recently retired Major in the Royal Marines and am organising the Track Day event with Gary Eastwood, Martin Lewis and Cliff Fox, and would like to say how grateful we are to you all for your support. :thumbsup:

The injured servicemen, their carers and welfare staff will get a tremendous thrill from this exposure to your wonderful cars at this superb venue. Catering will be provided at the event, courtesy of my fellow organisers, and the day promises to be an excellent occasion. :)

I look forward to meeting the members of Club Scuderia in November.

Regards,

Rhodester

My colleague here is an ex bootneck, ill see if i can drag him along too :grin:
 
Paul. Thanks for posting up here and saying "Hi". :thumbsup: I've received quite a few PM's from subscribed members offering to give rides round the circuit.... a nice selection of cars, too. :thumbsup:

Can all members who'd like to drive Brands and give the injured servicemen a day to remember please PM me your car details and any track experience. (Super Licence NOT required) :grin:
 
Fantastic response to my request to email / PM me if interested to attend this event. :dude:

This is the provisional list I have so far. There may be 1 or 2 who I've omitted due to a few PM's going missing with Club Scud being off line. :cry3: Appologies if you are one of them (or the people I spoke to at Dunton). Please contact me. :thumbsup:

We're just over the suggested 20 when we count the Tango Twins CSL's of Hazy & Radders. If there is further significant interest I may ask you all to confirm if free for the whole day. There may be some coming quite a distance who'd like to push off soon after lunch and free up 3 hours or so for someone else? :hmmm:

There have also been a few kind offers to volunteer on the day. Ken / Mandy / Rob for instance.

Paul Rhodes has asked me to extend an invite to these people and all the drivers to a dinner at the Brands Hatch Thistle the night before. Four course meal, £30. :thumbsup: Concessionary rate for staying the night will apply. Already ten from the above list are booked in.

For the Monday track event, all Club Scud members plus friends & family are most welcome to come along to Brands to watch us take round as many service personal and their carers / family as possible.
 
Richard as discussed at Dunton, please put me down as a reserve or if better suited more than happy to help out on the day.

I knew I'd forgotten one or two.... applogies. :grin:
