Do you have to be a club Lotus member. Can't find any entry prices anywhere.

No entry price & anybody can attend, but you have to be a Club Lotus member (or member of an invited Lotus club) to buy track time.

Anyone seen a definitive weather forecast for Saturday? I seem to be getting anything from full sunshine, to maybe a shower, to maybe an afternoon of rain and thunderstorms :? I'm leaning towards going, but not if it's going to be really wet.
Doesn't seem to be too many admitting that they're going, surely there'll be more than these few?

Weather forecast. As of this morning it was saying it was going to be 18C sunny with some cloud. Looked again just now and it seems to be saying some light rain perhaps a half a millimetre late on. Seems temperature may get up to 20C too

Met Office / BBC forecasts :-

"The morning should begin mostly dry with low cloud or mist lifting to give some warm sunshine. However, there will be an increasing chance of some thundery showers breaking out. Maximum Temperature 19 ?C."

Shower prediction is from 1pm for the whole afternoon.

Should get at least one dry session.

And Lotus biscuits! I have 60 packs to give away....... If you have any parts for sale, bring them along for people to see. Lots of Elans and their owners attend this event, it's probably the only Club Lotus event that gets a big attendance now that Donington and the late lamented swap meet are no more.

I will present a prize to Phil for coming all the way from Long Island just to attend :D 2 packs of Lotus biscuits
