Club Lotus show returns to Donington in 2011

Postby Rambo » Tue 26.10.2010, 14:40

I'm sure the majority will like to know that the Club Lotus show will return to Donington in 2011, And not in Baltic March or April either but scheduled for the w/e of August 19 - 21. Options being looked at by CL are camping facilities for the whole w/e and a BBQ/entertainment on the Sat. night.

The exhibition hall is in a bit of a mess and the bogs have been vandalised (I didn't realise they could be any worse than they already were :shock: ) and some of the track has been extensively damaged. This is being repaired as a top priority to enable them to run the LoT Elise trophy that same w/e

Further info. on page 4 of the latest CL magazine

Anyone for a curry on Friday night :?: :cheers:

We are still using Heinz 57 baked bean cans and a bit of string in the Borders to communicate. And what is broadband and dial up. I don't have that on my Amstrad computer.

Mobile phone coverage is fairly poor and the local "Phones 4 U" has a mobile the size of a brick in its window display.

Who needs all this modern stuff anyway ? I don't Twitter, Facaebook, U tube and I'm none the worse off for it ;-)

I hear your local barber shop displays pictures of Peter Shilton in his Nottingham Forest years on his walls too! ;-)
Never fear, this will become the curry thread when we're a bit nearer to the event.

Er, not exactly.
The Elan's off the road at the moment - sleepless nights due to nippers can have that effect on life. :oops:
But I've got a phone with internet access so at least I can see what's going on (and make the odd little contribution if the opportunity is too tempting to miss)! :lol:

Correct in one Sy :wink:

The Friday night curry has become just a big a part of the w/e as the actual show. And not forgetting the excellent Navigation Inn on the Saturday as well :beer:

Rambo,
you're lucky you've got Heinz cans, this bit of the Borders can only manage Morrison's own brand cheapies!
As to mobile phones, I have to run from the church in my high heels and cassock to phone for an ambulance...
Would be quicker driving them in the Lotus to the hospital.

Glad Donington is back, but will have to check wedding diary...!

Already have dear boy! But as I have not officially handed over NMY to her, it's like the lady and the dentist joke - "we're not going to hurt each other, are we?"

The Show has now been moved to 13/14 August 2011, because The Elise trophy races have been moved, the show has also been moved to keep them on the same day.
1991 Elan SE Turbo, 1976 Elite 501,1975 Elan +2S 130/5 and Passat TDi Est.

Good news on the date shift. :cheers:
That takes it away from the weekend of 20th when I'd managed to book a hotel for the Edinburgh Festival (by booking a year in advance).
I'll broach the subject with the social secretary. :roll: :bowdown:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
