Hi All,

Due to funding being offered to me for the up front payment of a club stand, I can confirm Castle Combe is on.

As Nev has mentioned, this will be the 10th time we've had a UKSaabs club stand at Combe, so let's do this prestigious UKS event some justice and make it a day to remember.

Those that have been before will know the score, but for those who have not got involved, some background info:

The Summer Action Day at Castle Combe is a great opportunity to take your Saab out on a respected circuit in a safe and controlled environment. Drivers are encouraged to drive within the boundaries of themselves and their vehicles, and the day is subject to strict rules to ensure the safety of all participants and vehicles (including no overtaking mid corner, overtaking on the right only, and no drifting). Needless to say the event is fully marshalled.

The day begins with coming to the club stand, and parking up your beloved Saab with the rest of the UKS contingent. Quickly attend a driver's briefing- a bit of information about the circuit, the rules, and the safety procedures. Then it's awaiting your session.

Sessions run for 15 minutes, which is usually enough for 6 or so laps- plenty of time to give both you and your car a healthy work out.

Back to the stand, where if you're me you jack your car up and fix the blown boost hose, or if you're anyone else have a cup of tea and await your next session.

Costs come in at £10 for entry (including the spot on the club stand), and between £25 and £35 per session, depending on the time of day.

If you would like to take part, please add yourself to the following list. If you could give me some idea of how many sessions you might like, that would help me organise things.

I will need to be looking for payment relatively swiftly after we're booked up, so start saving your pennies now if you can.

All Saab session. Due to popular demand we will be holding another all Saab session. This means you get to go out on track in the company of only your vehicular compatriots, free from any other brand of vehicle. Last year's all Saab session proved very popular, with Saabs ranging from 2 strokes to 9-5s and everything else in between.

First 25 drivers in the all Saab session get their £10 entry refunded which should put the total cost for entry plus the session at under £35. If you miss the first 25 spots don't worry, we should be able to slip on up to 5 extra cars, but won't be able to refund your entry fee unfortunately.

Spectators

Spectators are of course welcome to the event (thanks for the reminder Fubes), and are welcome on the club stand once all participants are catered for. If we fill the stand with participants then you can of course use the public parking and walk over to join us. Remember though, participation (even in the single all Saab session) guarantees you a club stand spot all day.

Participants
1. Jules, 3 sessions


Spectators
1.

Just to confirm the all Saab session is booked up, so get your names down. First 25 in the all Saab session get their £10 entry refunded which should put the total cost for entry plus the session at under £35. If you miss the initial list we should be able to slip on up to 5 extra cars, but won't be able to refund your entry fee.
