I email with reference to the Donington Park track day on the 29th December 2008.

I apologise that this day has been cancelled due to work being carried out on the circuit for the Formula One in 2010. We shall be offering you two race day tickets to the British Touring Cars on the 17th May 2008 and these shall be posted to you four weeks before the event.

Please would you alsobe able to advise me by return if you would like a full refund for this eventor if you would like a credit for 2009.

I apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

Kind Regards
Caroline

Poo... Lets have a PF christmas do then! we could do a lunch somewhere?

OR a Rolling road meet and piss up at Martoons? get REALLY drunk and play with expensive and dangerous things in his workshop?

we could try and blow mikes engine up on the rollers (if it makes it as far as Birmingham under its own power that is )

Launch Vegetable Samosas into orbit using Rover 75 Airbags....

race around the roads on gopeds with NO regard for your life...

Play the 'climb the ladder game'

drink 'tea' oooooh that was a BAD night Think Nicole was almost sick



or just find a nice cavery and have MORE Turkey dinners? OR Roller skating again!

Hi Steve,


We are hoping to add a full noise day in either February or March but this has yet to be confirmed.


Kind Regards

Website has now been updated:


2008 DATES

The circuit is now closed due to work being carried out for Formula One which includes the cancellation of the days on the 21st, 28th and 29th December.

We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, the circuit will re-open in the middle of February.

Very true but would be nice to meet up with others.

Also see how well the car performs after my little trip to MSD

Lol at that post, brought back some very comedy moments
How we never ended up in hospital doing the 'lets see how high we can get up a ladder that isn't rested against anything" game I'll never know.

Tea's up night was much healthier

Gutted about the track day though, had a pass from the boss any everything!
