Spring Rotor Show - Donnington Park, Saturday 3rd May
For those of you that are unable to attend Brooklands, in Surrey, we have organised a north Spring Rotor Show day at Donnington Park, in Derby. This invite is open to eveyone.
You have a chance to meet up with other like minded Rotary members and also take a visit to the Grand Prix Collection, quite simply, the largest collection of Grand Prix racing cars in the world
See: - http://www.donington-park.co.uk/gpcollection/
MRC will pay the entrance fee to any full club member who wishes to attend the museum on the day. Don’t forget, that all full paid up members will have their entrance fee paid on the day. If you hold a family membership, do not forget this will include your partner and 2 children under 15.
On the Saturday, there will also be the qualifying of the British Touring car Championships
Hope to see many of you there.[/FONT]

Lisa / Kev :
Is there a club stand for this event? And are there any general entrance fees either on the gate or that can be bought before hand ?
With only a couple of weeks away, just want to get a few things organised and know what i\'m doing if you get me :)
Cheers, Scott

Hi Scott
There will be a club stand sort off - I am talking with Donnington Park and I am trying to get it so all the rotaries park up together in the car park to the museum.
We will only have the club banner (not the gazebo)for this event.
If you want to go and see any race you will need to pay for that yourselves.
However there is no charge to go into the grounds and park up in the car park area. I will confirm where this will actually be in the course of the week.
If you wish to go into the Car Museum, MRC will pay your entrance fee.
They have offered to do it for us for £5.00per person, Children 6-16 £2.50 and under 6 free.
The easiest way of doing this, after just speaking with the Museum staff is
for you to pay yourselves and then bring me your receipt and I will refund you back your monies on the day.
Hope to see you there

Loving the graphics.
Thanks to Clive and Lisa for organising.
Brilliant show of history in the museum, 6 wheeled tryell was awesome, as was 2004 bmw twin nosed williams as were hundreds of other f1 cars.
Some serious turbo\'s on the indy cars in there !
Little one (Alex) liked the fire engine in the museum best of all !! That and the eagle weslake from 1960 odd iirc. That, and the planes landing at the airport all day long :)
Bloody good venue.
See you all soon.
P.S Lisa / Clive, can you just knock a fiver off my membership next year (or the year after!) please? As I forgot to ask you for the reimbursement :D
