johns Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 BBQ Catering at the Alford event on Sunday is being provided by the Inverurie Round table. All proceeds from food sales will go back to deserving causes in the local community, so please buy lots of food during the day (leaving enough for me of course) As in previous years, anyone who is willing to put on a dayglo vest for an hour or two and help with either marshalling the track activities, operating a stopwatch, collecting donations on the gate or directing cars to the correct parking areas within the site will be given a token that they can exchange for free food and drink at lunchtime I'm also looking for a couple of people to help me set-up the site on the Saturday afternoon from 2pm onwards. This is basically wiring up the PA system, and putting up some safety fencing around the track. With 3 or 4 people, this should only take about an hour. Any volunteers? John
scouk Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) That's good news john!! Unfortunately I wont be able to help set things up this year, still recovering from a recent op.. On that note, I still have the SIDC stand and not sure if I'll be able to bring it through to Alford on Sunday morning.. Just out of interest, what time are the "organisers" going to be opening the gates on the Sunday? May need to ask for a "volunteer" with a sensible car to pick up the SIDC stand from me on the saturday or something... Edited June 29, 2009 by ScoUK
johns Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 I would hope to be opening the gates around 9am on the Sunday for the organiser to get in and get the last minute things sorted, with the gates opening at 10 for general entry I'm sure there will be a few from your neck of the woods heading to Alford and who could help with getting the stand along Cheers John
zeolite Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Halfway round the world at the moment John so I wish you and everyone else involved a good day and no thunderstorms.

sczscoob Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 May need to ask for a "volunteer" with a sensible car to pick up the SIDC stand from me on the saturday or something... I'm still offshore Al, or else i would've taken the SIDC stand through in the Focus. Sorry
john_stevenson2 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 p.s i'll bring a driveshaft up for you to give to steve from AWD and a big thanks from us all and to you, for all your help with AWD Grant. I suspect you are mixing up your John S's ---the other one---
johns Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 Hi Grant, will be great to have you along at the event. We will indeed be running the small sprint track all day so you can have some fun with your track car. There is no charge for vendors taking part, so feel free to bring lots of parts for sale on the day, price lists, brochures etc. John
thefastone Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Grant, Ha! the one time that I DONT get in touch, you want to come along! You trying to tell me something!?!

mrtoad Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 will be there as per our emails John - u needing the stopwatch again?
johns Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks guys - the more the merrier. Arthur - stopwatch would be fantastic Also, if anyone has a set of those walkie-talkies could they bring them along. It seems the re-chargeable batteries in my set have died and won't hold a charge any more. Cheers John

G.Mac Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Will try to make it up, im going to try get my twisted exhaust setup installed, all I need is some samco type hosing to get from the twisted turbo setup to the standard topmount. If I can get this installed I will be there to run on track, if not I will be there to help out on the day but in stealth mode with the standard exhaust back on ....if I can remember how to get there that is Graeme
micra_wrc Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 GMac if you can get to Old Inns for 0630 you can convoy with us
