as per original thread posted in SW region -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the last round of MG Car Club racing this year I believe. Usually everything from very early MG's right up to F, TF, and Z'ds! A great day out! And it's on our doorstep! Arranging F Register parking area, for about 10 cars!  |

I could be cheeky and say that Castle Combe is in Wiltshire  Looking forward to this one. Do we have to do anything special to get in on the day? Or don't you know yet? |

cheeky very nearly on the border sorry mate - TSSC split Avon / Swindon areas and we kind of adopted combe, so I'm still in autopilot mode thinking Combe is Avon area land! D'oh! Wrong club!! just waiting for Combe to come back to me with further info - will post on here when get update also hoped listing it here might stir up some very local activity / action! |

I'm still hoping to be there, although my eyeballs may be swinging a bit low due to lack of sleep. At what time does it all happen?

Will be good to see you! As it's a one day race meet, scrutineering / practice and racing will be all in one day, so I guess gates will be open early! I would hope to be there by 9? |

No lie-in on that day then! I may not be able to get away from here before 1000, but will get to Castle Combe as quickly as possible (but within the speed limit!)
