Seriously considering it....Its been a long time since I went last. Was going last year. Fortunately I got a call from the organisers just as I was about to leave to say it was cancelled, otherwise it would have been a long way for nothing. It'll be a last minute decision if I come in the TR or the regular hack though.

Anyone going up Friday night to camp??

<font color="green">Damn, damn, damn that is the last weekend of my holiday and I will be on an organised Classic Car tour in Northern Island (actually travelling back on the 6th) so I'm going to miss it again [:(] Typical when I only live about 20 miles from Billing! Oh well maybe next year.

Good to see that Billing have been "persuaded" to allow a lower entrance fee though their day entry fee was always daylight robbery - well done on that one guys.</font id="green">

One of the things that is planned for the Sunday is to pull interesting cars into a ring to discuss them with the owners. To this end I'll be knocking up some sort of P.A. system in order that the information can be heard. So if anyone's got anything they think could be worth talking about at the National TR7 and TR8 day please let me know.
