Save Donington Parade

Had this email today would you like to go and give your support .
One for Blue Cam .

Eddie King.

Hello,

I wish to bring to your attention the "Save Donington" support day on 7th March.

What started off as a few cars driving to the track, has turned into a major event, with displays, TV/radio interest and a huge autojumble (please see flyer attached).

I was hoping to encourage members of your club to attend, with an offer of a designated area for your vehicles to be displayed.

Please visit the website

www.savedonington.co.uk

and spread the word around your club. The more marques can turn up, the better the day will be.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest regards,


Lee Coombs
Save Donington

I would like to attend this. Do we know what time the kick off is and would we attend as a club, if so would we be thinking of meeting up and running to Donny as group. I suppose details will be finalised nearer the time. I have looked on various links and so on but don't seem to have come accross any definate times and destinations as such or am I missing something?

As its looks like a major event it looks like it a job for Blue Cam.

Anyone else thinking of going to Donington??? Arthur & Barbara

I'll be with you all in Spirit & hope you have a good Day.
Can anyone offer some up to date news of the progress so far?
Some Photos would be great.
The Donington Web Site is so out of date that there's Moss growing on it.

Cheers

I think I read somewhere that the negotiations with a new 'operator' are nearly done and the Wheatcrofts will be making an announcement early March. They then plan to get it sorted quickly and racing to be back on very soon.
So hopefully that will happen...I wonder if Jonathon Palmers lot will be doing it?

Tim.

Quite right Tim. The new leasholder will be announced on the day.

Tim, Mike,

that's really good to hear.
Let's hope they really pile it on & get Motor Racing going ASAP.
No doubt VSCC & HSCC have been worried about the loss of the Venue.
I still think that Ecclestone should dig his hands into his very deep Pockets & present GB with a top GP facility.
He is of course quite tiny so I expect his Arms won't reach into those Pockets

Rather worryingly John, HSCC completely avoided a date at Donington in 2010. Maybe it was a wise commercial decision but I think it's a shame when so many other clubs took dates in the hope tha all would be well. I can understand why anyone would pull out but what we did (VSCC) was add another date at another venue in case we didn't get Donington (Pembrey 25 July). This wouldn't be so easy for HSCC with so many championships, of course.

I wouldn't hold you breath for an early season race meeting but I'm sure we'll see racing at Donington in 2010. VSCC is currently scheduled for 2/3 Oct.

BTW Tim, I hear that JP has not taken it as a MSV circuit but I could be wrong.

Going slightly off Topic here but I'd like to know if VSCC or HSCC run any Race meetings at Anglesey?
I've looked at the Anglesey Event Calender but at the moment it's a bit scanty.
I've seen a house for sale that would suit me nicely in Barmouth just a short drive away from Anglesey.

Cheers
John

I see the gates open at 10am .

Clubs and feature displays are advised to arrive closer to 8am if possible. Hopefully, with the promised turn out, this should turn into quite a display in itself – so make sure you’ve been busy with the polish!

I'm leaving Kenilworth at 9 see you there ,

Eddie.
