friday 22th satarday 23th sunday 24th of July - could be Gaydon weekend?
friday 29th satarday 30th sunday 31st of July
friday 6th satarday 7th sunday 8th of August - could be Ford Fair
friday 12th satarday 13th sunday 14th of August - there was weekend at Slippys around this date



i think we'll need to wait for at least Fordfair dates Luke :( BTW - if done in July, it would be cool to take it to Fordfair too :idea: :wink:

Why not make it earlyer in the year, say easter time?
The earlyer in the year would alow for max exposure over the show season calender! seeing as FTF is aiming to collect for a good cause it sort of makes sense when you consider bucket rattling!
just a tuppence worth... :D

I did have plans for several shows in August (depending on F***ing engine), I agree earlier would be better

In June I CAN`T make the weekend of Saturday 11th June as it`s the 24 Heures Du Mans.(anyone else on here go?) I leave on the 8th and come back on the 13th so end of June or July is OK for me.
