If you don’t fancy Silverstone then on the same day at Castle Combe is a classic race organised in part by John Dobson. From John… “After the success of the classic race at Mallory which seemed to have been enjoyed by spectators and drivers alike, there is to be another race this time at Castle Combe on October 1st. We are being sponsored by Gadgethelpline.com who are kindly providing hospitality and also prize money! It is open to pre 1975 Alfas up to 2 litres on treaded tyres to the spec of the HSCC roadsports series and to add a bit of extra fun we have invited similar spec MG's to give a bit of Italy v England competition. It is by invitation only so we can be a bit flexible on entries having accepted a certain Lancia. So come along as I am sure that it will be great fun for one and all with also a promise from Combe that if it a success it will become an annual event.†___________________ November 5th – We are thanking of attending a firework display and then go for curry afterwards, any suggestions for an organised firework display we could attend? The fire brigade training school at Moreton in Marsh are advertising a public display, does anyone know if it is a good one? ___________________ 156 for sale Tony Barry has Dk Blue, 2002 156 SW 2.4 JTD Veloce for sale, for full details please contact him on 01865 872293 or 07836 373034 _____________ Hope to see you on the 17th Regards Mark G ________________ Mark Grimshaw AROC Cotswolds Chairman http://www.aroc-uk.com/cotswolds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
