and others.

I am going ahead as planned with the Team UKRM video but at Champs
suggestion we are going to focus on the 24hr. I would like to get as
full a crew as possible for this and would love to hear from any
industry professions or anybody who just wants to play, especially those
with their own kit.

It is not just me though. Champs was explaining some of the simpler
logistics to me and for the 24 *WE* can probably make a difference in
the race if *WE* turn up and help.

No, it is like the WI only we are giving it away to our sponsors.

 

Oops. Dunno why I thought that.

Question - do you know if you have to pay an entrance fee to watch the
practice sessions on the Saturday?

 

Oh christ, I dunno. <thread merge> Maybe we'll have to get everyone
to sign a disclaimer before they get a cup of tea.

Actually, no.

I just phoned up and booked us in, and they said that they don't
charge admission on test days.

Race day tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the gate.

 

Champ emerged from their own little world to say

They said someone had been killed on the BBCWales news yesterday. I did
wonder if you knew the rider as the event was sponsored by Frasers
according to Pembrey's website.

It's on their website now:

The comment from the Council bloke is a bit daft:
"We are working very closely with the police and the coroner's officer to
establish the cause"

5 bikes collided on a race track. Act of terrorism obviously.

 

Yeah, sorry. I decided I'd reply to it at home, cos then I'll have a
copy, rather than using the crappy webmail interface I have to use at
work. And I'll have time to think about what I'm writing too.

 

Champ says...

Better make myself available then. Consider this my formal application
for one of these posts please.

 

Fucking good job you hadn't signed him up, really.

What a shit, though - the headstone: Died at Pembrey.
That's a fucker.

 

Could manage any of these.

I think you'll find it also attracts unwelcome attention from the chip
vans etc who pay their fees to be present at race meets. ICBW, but you
can't just set up a stall.

 

Assuming I can't score a ticket for Glastonbury...

 

Barbecueing skills on offer (away from [1], obviously), or I may be
able to lend a hand in other departments.

 

Got a Sony digital video wotsit and could be tempted. Let me know if you
need the camera (unfortunately, I come attached), a bit nearer the time...

Excellent stuff. As Champs has already mentioned someone, anyone, who
can operate a camera would a distinct bonus.


I am sure various calls to arms from various sub committees will be
going out over the next couple of months. Ours will just be one of
them.

Guess someone has to type it: are you so fast, you're going back in time?

 

What he said.

You've got me down already, I take it? I like to think I counterbalance
Wik quite nicely on the other side of the fuel rig.
