scouk Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Can't help thinking that it's only 3 weeks or so until the SIDC event at Alford was to take place yet nothing has been announced on the Events thread... Is it still going ahead this year on the 13th July? Or have I missed something... Edited June 24, 2008 by ScoUK Link to comment
sti pretender Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I'll miss this years if it's the 13th. Had a great time last year, well worth the trip up. Edited June 20, 2008 by STI Pretender Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 im hoping its still on the 13th, im due home on the 10th so going to be home for it this year Link to comment
sczscoob Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I should be home for it now. I'm on a course in Norway from the 7th and get back home on the friday 11th instead of coming home on the 14th. Link to comment
scouk Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 We'll it's listed on the Grampian Transporrt Museum for July 13th! http://www.gtm.org.uk/whats_on.htm Being an SIDC event surely someone on here must know? Seems strange not to be any hype over one of the best scottish scoobies dates on the calendar! Link to comment

Yeah, hadn't seen much about it at all... normally listed earlier than this to let everyone know in plenty of time. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Im defo up for this is there a plan for a convoy?? Link to comment
scouk Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hmnn.. ok.. No confirmation here so far... Who usually arranges the event? With little promotion there's less chance of a decent turnout!!!! Last year it was announced several weeke before hand with detail of other clubs attending! Whats up this year? Sorry for the wee rant but...... Seems to have been forgotten about.. Link to comment

I know JohnS was heavily involved with it last year, couple of us gave a hand being marshalls at it as well (although not as many as we'd have liked). Not sure who's been involved in organising it this year? Link to comment
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'll be here depending on my T in The Park induced hangover ( Sat. only ticket) Link to comment
mrtoad Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 well I would be able to make it - if somebody could let us know one way or another if it going ahead? Am sure a few others would as well Hmnn.. ok.. No confirmation here so far...Who usually arranges the event? With little promotion there's less chance of a decent turnout!!!!

scouk Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've sent John a "goat" to ask if he knows anything.. Not saying he's reponsible or anything, but hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on things.. Someone clearly contacted the Motor Museum at Alford to book the SIDC day for the 13th, so someone must know what's happening! Link to comment
mrtoad Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It was on the museum website at the beginning of the year, so the intention must have been there to have this. Strange, but maybe everybody has just been to busy. I've sent John a "goat" to ask if he knows anything..

RA Dunk Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 think John is in charge of all of this TBH or at least that was the impression i was under anyhoo, im going to be home for it anyway and will be able to help out setting everything up if needed Link to comment
johns Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Yes apologies for the lack of publicity. It's my work's fault for keeping me just far too busy and lots of overseas trips The event is going ahead as planned on Sunday the 13th of July. 10am to 4pm, though we hope the gates will be open at around 9:30am. Free entry, though we will be collecting donations on the gate for Santa Cruise - please give generously. As well as the usual show and shine competition, we'll have the sprint track in use all day. Sign up and drive your own car on the track (one at a time), and get a rare chance to push your car to it's limits and see how you compare with others. It's a great day out for the family. We will need some assistance on the Saturday afternoon for about an hour (say around 2:30pm) to set up the safety fencing, and also at the end of the event to take it all down again. I'm also looking for a few marshalls to help out on the day, the more we have in the "pool", the less time each needs to spend at their post. I'm hoping with 5 to 10 volunteers, that everyone will do one (maybe 2) stints of about an hour or so. One of the marshalls will be responsible for timing the cars with a stopwatch as well. Anyone volunteering to be a marshall will get their car on track for free - doesn't get much better than that. As long as we don't get 30 volunteers we are sorted If anyone wants to help out in any way, just let me know on this thread. John Link to comment

wilky Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have never made this event and always wanted to. Unfortunately I shall be howling at the moon and in a state of incapacity due to my weekends camping at T in the Park. Imagine Grunt the evening I offered him £100 to provide a table yodelling service at Peters Restraunt and it comes nowhere near how bad Im going to be!! Callum W Link to comment
WUZ Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'll be home and I'm happy to volunteer my marshalling services John. Might even be happy enough to help set up the track and fences. Pulsar and Scoob may not be ready..........looks like the Porsche will get some track action this year Russell Link to comment
