Those of you that have have been many times before will be familiar with our Croft events but for those that haven't here are some of the reasons why people keep coming back.

Croft'08.. the 13th one!
the BMW driving event of the summer!
Monday, 14th July 2008

Thats sounds really good and if all goes to plan i shall have my car on the road by then but i will probably be still running in the engine so not really track style driving.

Can i sign up for the next one of there is one?

Bill,

this is normally just a annual event. We have been going up there on the second Monday in July for more years than I care to remember.

…that said however, I did a second one last year in October.. (The Oktobercroft) as there was plenty of demand, and an empty slot on the Croft calendar.

I would do the same again if I thought there was sufficient demand, and will decide when I have cashed up after the July event.

You must appreciate that this is not a profit making exercise, so I have nothing to carry forward to the next one. Each event must break even. Remember we are dealing with Car Club members here – possibly the slowest paying, least likely so stump up in advance group of enthusiasts on the planet!

In the good old days I could earn a modest profit at each event and use that to pay for the deposit on the next one.. we had nearly reached a point where the next one was already paid for when the Club rules changed and we all lost our ‘cells’ within the Clubs accounting system. I can see the logic, but it was a bitter pill to swallow to see your hard earned funds disappear.

.. anyway, rant over – Yes there could be another one later in the season, but don’t count on it just yet. I’ll keep you posted.
