I'm also looking for any other members who may be interested in putting their bike on the Avenue of Clubs to supplement those from us doing the track session; this attracts a free weekend pass for one person and their bike. First come, first served.....!

Gerald you have a PM

Cheers Martin

Not yet I don't! (it turned up 5 minutes after this post!!)

I haven't received my tickets yet either, but trust in the VMCC as Adrian says!

I've been on to the VMCC. Track session packs are due out this week, so keep an eye out.

And to answer a question asked a while ago, when arriving and trying get to our designated camping area, do mention the Kawasaki Triples Club designated camping area which is, apparently clearly marked. If the gate "nazi" gives you trouble look/ask for or simply quote the name Annie Durrant who will be wearing a yellow VMCC waistcoat (hopefully distinguishable from other dayglo-wear!!); she is the co-ordinator for the Avenue of Clubs, but is at least a friendly ear.

The Triples session is number 10, confirmed if you look through the listings for group C Road Machines on pages 34-6 of the programme where you will spot a few familiar names! Looking through the listings, it appears the rest of the session has been filled with CBX1000s and Benelli SEIs, plus a couple of Kettles, a Guzzi Le Mans and a rogue CBX750. Keith Green and Keith Philpott have both been put in session 25 (Group B Road machines). I 'm beginning to wish they'd put me there too, rather than wobbling round on my 350 with a bunch of CBXs hairing past me!
