01/03/2011 20:37:34 Martin C [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Hi everybody,[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I hope you’re looking forward to our North Weald Activity day on Friday 11th March. The day is very informal, unlike a track day, it is run for us by 1stLotus.com and all their instructors are performance driving instructors and racing drivers with a wealth of experience and skill.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][B][COLOR=black]I need your help with one formality [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]The only requirement before we begin is that Andy needs an emergency contact for both you and any 2nd driver or passenger you may bring. This is a name and telephone number to call in the event of an emergency, this must be somebody who is not with you on the day. To make this formality easier to cope with, it would be really helpful if you could [B][I]email this name and number in advance.[/I][/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][B][COLOR=black]Arrival time[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Please aim to arrive no later than 08.30.

Darren likes to see everyone go through this, consequently, there will be a some queuing during the morning. But this does allow you to get to know each other and discuss what you are learning. Please ask Andy for advice and guidance at any time about driving technique or car handling. That’s what this day is all about – a chance for you to explore your car in safety.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]After lunch you will have the opportunity to put the skills you learn into practice. You can attempt two coned courses which offer different challenges, great fun and you should see your new confidence making a difference. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][B][COLOR=black]Lunch[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]We usually go to a local pub for lunch. There will be a convoy to help you find the way. Alternatively you are free to bring your own packed lunch should you wish.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][B][COLOR=black]Refreshments and other facilities[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]There is usually a tea/coffee van in attendance and portakabin style loos - nothing grand I'm afraid, but in good clean condition and we're responsible for keeping them that way![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][B][COLOR=black]Finish time[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=black]The day's fun has to end at [/COLOR][COLOR=black]4pm[/COLOR][COLOR=black] precisely, the venue is an active aerodrome and industrial estate. The control tower guys get upset if we carry on beyond then and we get it in the neck! They will also get upset if we don't stick to the 20mph limit on the perimeter road so please oblige.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [B][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]Cancellations[/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=black][B][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]We understand that sometimes circumstances mean you may have to cancel, please contact me as soon as possible.
