Road trip to Ghent Six includes coach & velodrome ticket CANCELLED..

Well seems like plenty of people want to check this out....and I can thoroughy recommend it, I've been seven times including last year with some of the forum guys: http://www.thehippy.net/gallery/thum...bum=170&page=3

Anyway Rollapaluza are booking a 51 seat coach for a Rolla-lfgss road trip to Ghent Six.

we'll be leaving London on the morning of Saturday 22nd November from a central London location, driving straight to Ghent, hopefully in time for a bit of sight-seeing before the racing starts. When the racing finishes at 2am you'll be picked up at the track (or nearby) and taken straight back to London should arrive about 8am...

it's £65 and includes a seat in the velodrome too! (which also allows track-centre access)

Your host will be the charismatic Lebowski

full details and online purchase here: http://www.rollapaluza.com/?p=128

Strictly first come first served.

Note: confident this will sell out as we're also releasing details to our club and then our mailing list, however this relies on 90% take-up, if we do not reach this we will let you know at least a month before the event and give you a full refund. Our reserved track tickets are being held until September 1st, so please sign up before then.

I can imagine the lather between my toes already.. I'm so excited about this :)

Is there any room for my midget collection, a can of HTFU and 38 cases of random Belgian beers?
I can fit dogs in the glovebox if it helps.

What do you mean by 1. "sacrifice" and 2. "change of clothes"? :)

I'll smell lovely after the "relaxing spa facilities, aromatherapy, yoga and professional on-call masseur Winstonia" are done.

That's executive. :)

120 buys a lot of lard and fairy liquid...

but maybe not the amount you're used to

They can thin the mix down a bit with some Scaldis and it should be acceptable.

We will be reserving velodrome tickets this week for this trip, They will not hold reserved tickets forever and eventually we'll have to pay for them, we're happy to take this risk if there is significant interest (buying a place!)

Guys - sorry but I've decided to go for two nights (Friday and Saturday), so I'm out of this trip. See you there on the Saturday, though!
