Re: MX-5 Owners Club 'Blyton Bash' - The BIG 100
jon,
just a thought....in the eventuality of the 100 places possibly being over-subscribed despite the lack of the expected mad rush, will the "name out of the hat" system still be applied ?...ie if you suddenly get 25 or 30 applications for the last 20 places at the last minute

Re: MX-5 Owners Club 'Blyton Bash' - The BIG 100
Kev,
I've been pondering this, and we have another ad in June's STHT so that should jog a few memories and may cause a late rush.
What I hadn't expected was so many to book just Saturday, and quite a few just Sunday (I had assumed that many would just go for the full weekend, being better value). But it does mean that Sunday is quite light so hopefully I'll be able to play the overall numbers so that no-one will be left out...
To be honest mate, I'm making this up as I go along!!! If (big IF!) Louise and I do this again next year we'll be better prepared...I hope But I guess it'll all depend on the success of this year...is that me setting myself up to fail?
Currently sat writing this with equal measures of excitement and downright fear 
MX-5 Owner's Club Motorsport Co-ordinator / Mission Motorsport Development Manager: jon dot earp at mx5oc.co.uk '95 Mk 1 1800cc, plus a few minor, subtle changes... The only one at the Blyton weekend who didn't break a record!

IMHO you're doing an absolutely fantastic job...there's not many that would take on a project like this....i'm sure it will be a great success ...keep up the good work..your club members are behind you all the way ( but hopefully not too far when on the track ! ) ...if you find you need help with anything on the day, give me a shout

Re: MX-5 Owners Club 'Blyton Bash' - The BIG 100
With all the work you and Louise have put in mate its never ever gonna be a fail, you might get the odd hiccup on the day but lets face it, who but you and Louise would take on such a task. I think its going to be a great if not crowded day, trying to get to Blyton on saturday but its the wifes birthday and the MX always comes last as regards priorities but am working on it, but dont hold your breath
Mikey
If I do come I t will be a turn up and pay on the day

I have taken the plunge and book the weekend, camping Friday & Saturday night to leave more money for petrol.

Thanks chaps, moral support always helps 
The club needs people like you so don't be too hard on yourself. Without commited members like yourself nothing would ever get done.
I am sure there will be a few moans and groans but this is a minority of people who just don't understand what goes into organising an event like this or any club event come to that.
You have my full vote of confidence and judging by the amount of people who have put their hands in their pockets and booked, its already an amazing success.
Chin up and well done.
