Club Lotus at Donington - latest news

[Rambo]

Here's some news I received ex CL. Discounted tickets for the BTCC if anyone's interested ?

Dear Club Lotus member,

Latest news about our Show.

Brian Angus will be giving technical talks on Saturday and Sunday on the
900 series engines and the Espriit. He'll also be on the Club Lotus stand
on both days to answer any questions as will Brian Buckland who'll also be
hosting tech talks on the Elan and twin cam engine. This is in addition to
the wide range of technical advice available on the stands from the likes
of Steve Fulcher, Option I Sportscars, Spyder Engineering, Hangar 111,
Chris Neil, PNM, Nitron, and CTM Engineering to mention a few.

Donington Park have just confirmed that all Club Lotus Show visitors will
receive a £5.00 discount on tickets for the BTCC event which is on track
the same weekend. All you need to do is show your Show admission ticket at
the ticket desk. A free shuttle bus will be running all day between the
exhibition centre and race paddock entrance.

There's also discounted entry to the fantastic Donington Grand Prix and
Wheatcroft collections. You can save £2 off a £10 single adult ticket and
if there's two of you can take advantage of their 2-4-1 offer and save 50%.
Again just present your show ticket at the pay desk.

Don't worry about traffic problems, we've run alongside big race meetings
in previous years without problems. Donington have a tried and tested
traffic management plan that can handle many more vehicles than will come
to the BTCC. The plan is designed to keep things moving and get traffic
off the approach roads and parked smoothly and quickly.

All Club Lotus Show visitors will come in via the (usual) main entrance
and race spectators will be directed to the Melbourne Loop entrance and
parked in fields adjacent to the paddock - well away from the exhibition
centre. We will in fact have more parking than in previous years as one of
the car auction companies has moved out from the site thus freeing-up
another big tarmac area. There's also plenty of good, solid and flat grass
parking.

We also still have some room for some more members¹ display cars. All you
need to do is let us know what you¹ll be bringing, buy your entrance
tickets and your pride and joy can be on show for free to the thousands of
visitors. If you want to sell your Lotus it¹s only £26 to display in our
ŒCars for Sale¹ area and this includes a free admission ticket.

There's still time to order advance tickets and you can either:

1. Call us at Club HQ on 01362 694459 or 691144.
2. Book via our website http://www.clublotus.co.uk - click on 'Club Shop' and

3. Email annemarie@clublotus.co.uk with your credit card details.

Look forward to seeing your there ­ don¹t forget to come over to our stand

Best wishes,

Alan, Annemarie, Jane and Samantha
