17/02/2020 07:26:38 Dave P Bedford is getting close, only 3 weeks away and pretty dismal sales. Any ideas to promote the day?

17/02/2020 10:52:10 NigelS We offered some half days last year. What about asking folks like CSMA, MASC if they want to come?? Have a newsletter in draft as we want to get Mallory open as well so am pushing Bedford there as well.

17/02/2020 17:13:34 Steve Hill I would say that we definitely should invite partners. I see that Mark Peters is driving a V8. Ideal for Bedford. Could he drum up some support on the V8 Register?

18/02/2020 12:11:14 SlapHeadDiver I've just emailed Vic @ V8 register to see if they can offer any adverttising/marketing assistance either thru the website and/or bulletin board. I'll let you know what he says. I could just post onto the bulletin board but feel that might not be very diplomatic, possible misuse. Or maybe I'm just being ........... daft?

18/02/2020 17:44:38 Steve Hill Victor Smith at the V8 Register is a good friend of MGoT and I'm sure that he will help us.

19/02/2020 06:55:19 Dave P Just looked at the MSVT website and they are selling it as a novices only day at £ 109.00! Circuit hire to us, inc VAT, is £ 6,895 which works out at 63 cars on track, excluding any overhead cost. What I would call taking the p*ss!

24/02/2020 09:13:06 SlapHeadDiver Morning, I've been in touch with Victor @ V8 Register. Our calendar is now included for the year and Bedford is on the news page [B]Rolling V8 Calendar[/B] [URL]https://www.v8register.net/subpages/calendar.htm[/URL] [B]NEWS item on Bedford Autodrome track day[/B] [URL]https://www.v8register.net/sub3/news200223-MGOT-bedford.htm[/URL] What I've proposed to Victor is I'll do a News update following a track day giving a brief report on it, maybe Duncan could provide something from his Magazine pieces and include a mention of the next track day re MSVT - Are they trying to tell us something or just trying to be clever? I take it our MG sessions will be MGoT member i.e. we will not have all sorts amongst us?

25/02/2020 10:25:09 Steve Hill Mallory Park, snooze, you lose! :) Re Bedford. Please could we change our home page from the Restoration Show to a promotion of Bedford. Thanks :)

26/02/2020 14:07:14 NigelS I am away this week but will get it sorted at the weekend.

03/03/2020 10:00:36 Steve Hill Looks like it's time for a Newsflash on Bedford, great antidote to all the doom and gloom etc etc, link to Dave's vid and booking page. Let's do it!

03/03/2020 16:20:22 NigelS Already on it, going out tomorrow!
