All,
   
   It is that time of year again, I will be sending out sprint entry forms this weekend via email and post. We have some headlines for you!
   
   a. The price for the sprint has stayed the same for 3 years, no change for this year(£105).
   
   b. We have two championship events at our sprint. BMW Historic and Austin 7 this year, so book early.
   
   So please email me for ASR / Application forms john_abel289@hotmail.com. Also if you would like to help out myself and Mike are very keen to hear.
   
   Thanks
   
   John.

10 days to go, just to let people know the Final Notices for the event will be going out this week. I can confirm we have to date 68 entries, expecting 4 more back so expect a full house. So many thanks for all who have entered, we have more AC's entered this year. So well done!!. Please support the club by attending as a spectator if possible all welcome.
   
   One last point we have a special visitor Sam Troth who is 100 years old he worked at AC Factory in 1958-1962 and then again 1964-1975.
   
   So some great stories can be shared.

Keith,
   
   Many Thanks, really the biggest team job ever. In my report I will explain some funny side's of the Sprint. My friend Richard who helps me each year made an excellent Board for the results. Also a special word for John Davison (known as "two laptop king"!) who stayed call under some massive pressure at the start.

Hi John,
   Well done to you and your team for an excellent event. The thing that struck me most was the friendlyness of the event, everyone was happy to stop and have a chat, the competition was good with a great selection of vehicles and everyone looked to be having a great time.
   
   A great event with a good atmosphere, congratulations.
   John & Dee.

Well done John! I enjoyed this year's Sprint as much as ever. The event ran like clockwork, as did my little Ace. I love the friendly atmosphere at our Sprint, even if it means we all spend far to long yacking to each other.
   Great job and thanks from us all, Andy.
