Save Donington/East Mid meet



  Bus w**ker
So 17 cars from East Mids and some surrounding areas met up at the Save Donnington event today. Was a good day and we even got some sun. :cool:

Anyway the full set can be found here but here's a few. Nowt amazing, but people moan at me when I don't upload them.

So, early start and I met up with mark for the blast down to Donnington:

Once we arrived, we put a bit of a stand together. However it didn't look very good, but more on that one later ;)

As we couldn't get the CS banner to stay flat, we had to rig something up - And quick. Luckily with some inginuity from Mark tec & Gray motorsport we came up with this:

Now here was the state of the track - Really sad. I climbed over the fence to take these ;)

Right, decided to change the stand a little as it was a bit boring. Although it was a limited success, it was a success none the less.

Here is me delagating (badly)

At this point my camera was stolen off me which resulted in these shots:

(reminds me of fallout 3 lol)

Good "CS gathering" shame Donnington really didn't feel organised... A load of cars in the car park and some crummy auto jumble :dapprove:

Hopefully the circuit will be up and running again, very sad sight seeing it the way it looks today

LOL the TVR stand was really cramped and I only had a 35mm Prime. I was practically sat on a tuscan to take that picture :eek:

Some great shots there. It was a good day even though the organisation was pisch.
I won't bother posting the pics I took because they're pretty crap.
 
Good meet today! Plenty of interesting cars and had a chat with some good folks too! Shame the circuit is so fooked, but hopefully it'll get sorted out!
 
Lol we drove over from Nottingham in convoy with a few of them and met a load more at the services. We decided to just gatecrash through the stewards and park with them!
 
  Clio 182ff
I got sum decent pics, will post them later tonight...it was a bit badly organised tbf and the fact that it was advertised free but what 'attractions' they had, were £5 entry - bit cheeky like.
 
  Clio 182
Ay, the organisation wasn't amazing. I turned up after 10, and they said I couldn't park with the CS lot as I was too late. Went to another guy and he let me straight in! But one of the stewards said they only got 'called in' to do the event the day before and he apologised for the organisation. We didn't bother with the Autojumble...
 
I was impressed with the turn out but the organisation could have made the day so much better.
Good to meet some of you again and others for the first time, will see how many meets I can turn up to before I actually buy a Clio...

It looks like the day was good fun, wish I could have maid it!

Just out of intrest do you know how much dept they are in?

Was thinking if all the members chipped in a bit of cash, we could buy it and have our own private cliosport.net track. Free for members to use and we can open it up for trake days to make enough money to pay the costs of running it :approve:.

Basically a company called Donnington Leisure Limited or something used to lease the track from the Wheatcroft family. But when they lost the F1 deal they lost funding associated with it and went into administration. So the Wheatcroft now run as well as own the track. Its the Son who is in control now we saw him getting interviewed on camera on the day :)
