1.6 Mk1 #576, 12 July Hiroshima, Red, big brakes, SS brake hoses, Cobra braces, Mazdaspeed 4 branch, TR Lane cage & door bars, big throttle body & AFM, lots of carbon bits, BMW Mini wheels.

Forgot to mention, raffle, prizes, competitions, prizes, photo shoots, prizes !!! (open to suggestions as well)  B Rgds, Paul H.

There will be plenty of room & hard surface in front of Tims workshop for owners to bring their own tools & parts with workshop support should it be needed, I will be there in a weeks time , will photograph the area to show whats available, plan is to have a marquee & gazebo's for undercover work if the Gods are against us,or if it is blazing hot for somewhere to sit in the shade.

Round at the front of the units is Maynard Motorsport who have a rolling road & Dyno, Tim will talk to Martin tomorrow to try & arrange for him to have the rolling road & Dyno available (believe normally charges approx £100 per hour including basic setting & printout but Tim will try & negotiate special rates for members) but could be worthwhile so you can see just how much (or little) your car produces,  B Rgds, Paul H.

Message from Tim Lane earlier:

hi chaps
we've got parking for 25 or more cars ,so there's plenty of room
the rolling road is ready but it would be good to get a minimum of 6 cars booked looking at about £40.00 per run including power printout
we would love to see as many people as possible, plent of food & drink as well !.
there's plenty of service parts in stock so you can get your hands dirty on the day!

Should add the following:

What Tim hasn't put is that he is going to donate majority of monies made on the day to the Haematology Ward at The Oxford Churchill Hospital where my Son, Dale, was treated as he went through Leukaemia last year, some of you will have read my posts about this & I thank Tim for his help & support whilst Dale went through his treatment & our subsequent loss last October. So come on down & help support a good cause as well as eat our food, drink our drink & have a good day out, it doesn't clash with any OC or Planet meet or runs that I can find, so no excuse, B Rgds Paul H.

 Shirley & Michael Collins would like to come along to the barbecue, etc. on 25th September - with our Eunos Roadster, please

 I  will be there in my Maz Mk 111

 Sounds like a great day and only 25 miles from me in Swindon. If you do not mind a novice asking lots of questions I would love to come.

Sounds good, look forward to seeing you, it will be a casual event, just lots of enthusiastic owners having a good day out with food & drink,  the event seems to be developing well, looks like a local butcher will be organising & doing the BBQ unless we can get the "pig roast" man to attend, whichever loads of grub & drink, will work on same basis as the last Maidenhead do there will be a charge for eat as much as you like, proceeds to go to charity (Oxford Churchill Haemotology Department where my Son was treated),  have started collecting the raffle prizes (again proceeds to said charity), 1/43 MX5 model, Mazda books, Roll Cage, servicing parts, front & rear brace bars, aluminium goodies etc, etc, will post a complete listing of prizes about a week before the event,  as previous the workshop & ramp will be available for servicing (either by Tim or DIY) & if we can get firm numbers the rolling road at Maynard Racing will be open with runs & a printout,    will post more as it progresses.

Tim Lane & self will be at Shelsey Walsh on Sunday, will be wearing Mazda jumpers with big logos so should be easy to spot, if attending would be pleased to meet you, come & say hello.  regards, Paul H.

Further to the above, steadily accumulating the raffle prizes this is what we have to start with:

AYRTON SENNA autograph (with C of C) & book:  Ayrton Senna, A Tribute.

TR Lane GP type Roll Bar assembly.

1/43 scale model Mk1 MX5.

Book:  Mazda MX5 Roadster, Design & Development, Toshihiko Hirai.

MX5 Style bars.

Set of Door Bars.

MX5 underbody brace bars front & rear.

Servicing kits for MX5's.

No doubt a selection of wine & chocolates,     will update as it goes along,   going to need numbers & some form of commitment as to attendees (other than those already notified) so we can cater for food, drink & rolling road time (may need deposit to secure)  your help would be appreciated to make this a briiliant day.

B Rgds, Paul H.

 Hi

I would like to join you what  is the location in Nailsworth

Regards Mel

Hi, look forward to seeing you, Tim's workshop is at MERRETS MILL, WOODCHESTER, a couple of miles out of Nailsworth on the road to Stroud, will be well signposted at the entrance & we will post full postcode - map - directions as it gets nearer, B Rgds, Paul H.

 Tim has come up with the suggestion about the raffle , it will be open to all Owners Club members, if you are unable to attend but fancy some of the prizes (more to come early days yet) tickets will be able to be purchased on line, payment through possibly PayPal, still being planned but as they say "watch this space" , b rgds, Paul H.

Hi there, count me, my girfriend KT and fatty ( my dog ) in!

Hi - yes count me in.

Nigel

Thanks, look forwards to meeting you,  all support for Tim's day greatly appreciated, Rgds, Paul H
