It's a real shame about the clash of dates but for anyone that isn't heading to Wales can still come to JTS and be part of the show - just download the club booking form but book as an individual. The show is on the main Silverstone site with the National Circuit.

Most hotels don't charge for changing dates or cancelling. It wouldn't be the same without the 350z's!

The Show is normally at the end of May, beginning of June, but becasue of all the problems with the British Grand Prix earlier this year, Silverstone has left very few dates available for shows. Plus they have also took on quite a few events that would normally be at Donington, such as the Moto GP. Pippa
