Jason Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 LOL - last time those pies went straight through me, never made it out of the showroom. The loo was fragrant when I entered and a bio hazard when I left :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, sadly some took more than their fair share! - I hope it's explained to the pie people this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I was baffled by this as the pies were not "available" when we arrived, you had to ask and were issued with a plate with pies and sausage rolls - you couldn't take more than you were given. I guess you could "go round again" but then blagging pies is against the rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggrr1 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 As this will be my first RBRR and I'm pretty sure Rob's too..............................<In my best Baldrick voice>............I have a cunning plan..............................Follow Tim Hunt ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 You will soon learn, don't follow anyone. The newbies get lost, the old hands are off to their favourite transport cafe/pub/brothel (well Langrick is anyway) - follow the roadbook :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm away from home at the moment Nick but thanks fo rthe PM, I'll make the neccessary entry list corrections when I get back later in the week. Shame you won't make it :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Right - lots of updates to the list, comings and goings, drew consolidations and even the odd new entrant (well I think to be honest we're all "odd").I have also listed those entrants with entry details missing or wrong - co driver details missing, email addresses not working, car details missing etc. Please take a look at the news site and make sure it's not you, if it is then get in touch with me stating your entry number and correct details please.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jackson (2) Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 If I'm counting correctly we're down to 117 entrants now leaving 3 spare spaces. I've someone whose interested, but what's the closing date for entries?Nick J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Nick,If a member of CT get them to send an entry form to Jason Chinn, address as entry form.The entry form can be downloaded from the Comp side of this website.If not a member of CT, ask them to complete the membership form etc and pay online. or otherwise ask them to complete a M'ship form and send with the RBRR entry form to Jase. Two cheques though, Jase will forward the membership gubbins to John Snook.PM Jase or me with name so we can look out for their entry etc.Thanks Nick.TimRBRR central is starting to get busy!!!!

Jason Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 As far as a "closing date" is concerned we have traditionally used the end of August to draw a line on entry activity. We have decided to run 120 cars so we'll try and fill that (or keep it filled) however the amount of activity for the RBRR organisers steps up from here and to be honest I'd like to draw a line and get on with the rest of the stuff that needs doing - remember the organisers are also entrants and have day jobs too :-) We've got driver's briefings, entry packs and roadbooks to do as well as start organisation and charity liason - lots to do and it's all manageable as long as we can build in some certainty somwhere - don't get me wrong, it's good fun and nice to put something into the club. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Don't forget that you can do your own RBRR any old time you like, just get in your car, stick some petrol in and go! Follow the other cars if you're not sure of the route.... No need for complex forms, entry fees etc....... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for complex forms, entry fees etc....... :)Good idea, you can also have you're own car show - just walk around a carpark saying things like "I learned to drive in one of those" or "Nice MG" then sit in a deckchair and drink tea from a tartan flask. "Complex forms" err, there's only one form and apart from your name and address it asks what car you'll be driving - there's no pass or fail :)Entry fee - quite right, it's an outrage - pay for something you want? That's just not right when everything else in life is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wait...But still, you'd be a Billy-no-mates and if you broke down wouldn't get help. Plus you'd have to buy your own tankard!I can see the appeal of doing it on your own if say, you had a brown car and didn't want hundreds of people with similar style but far nice looking cars to see you in it. Other than that I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
