The club is really looking forward to hosting it's second National and we hope the weather will be as good (+32°C) as last year to make it a real Ozfest!

Neil

is it going to be the case where we need to bring our 4.5's and 3.5's with us?

Please no, shorter straight this year please, ill kill my motors every run if i have to run an 8 to keep up with brushless. O and a more forgiving jump :P
Do i have to register with Jeff that i want to camp or is this only for caravans, it's not too clear on the site....

The track is being design as you speak and we have learnt from our mistakes dont worry the track this year will be much better. That is all im are going to say ;)

A

less of a power track and more of a skill track would be nice this year

but im sure you guys will put a lot of effrot in like you did last year

The national page is looking really good neil the new banner is ace.

I was wondering that... do tents need to register?!

I hope the weather's the same as last year... mmmmm, sunshine!

I havent got a clue about tents but caravan will have to book a spot but dont quote me on this hopefully neil or one of the other club commitee members will confirm this in the next few days please be patcient if you dont get a reply for a few days as neil is in dubai and jeff is on holiday.:)

A

As far as i know tents dont have to register but please confirm this with a member of the club committee!

Kev

Only Caravans need to be registered. Tents do not. This is a condition of the contract we have with the show ground owners. I will amend the website when i get back..

N

Is it sunny over there? :(

I still registered a week or two ago, even though its just my tent sleeping two occupants. it wasn't clear but id rather register unneceserily than not register when i should, so for the sake an email I did it... but nevermind.

Looking forward to it. I presume we'll be on the exact same section of grass as last year?

Yup up on the bank chris just like last year. It had the first cut a week last thursday.

A

And yop emz its very sunny indead my sister fell to sleep and got sun burn. Its been really warm.

A

I was talking about in Dubai!

Ahahahaaaaa, yes its 45 in the day and 30 at night, the mrs' rents moved there this year....well Abu Dhabi, but close enough.

Celcius?! Ouch...!

Yeah but they got air con in the street! how cool is that!!!!
Can't wait to go over, got a pent house to stay in :D

I'm no 'hug a tree' environmentalist... but... air con in the street!!! silly.

Back on topic... looking forward to Oz, can we have a bar, or at least a place to cool beers? Lots of ice in buckets please is my request ;)

we had a ice at Bury, ASDA down the road had bags of them, kept the whiskey cool in the night and the redbull cool in the day

Website updated (just got home at 6pm.. it was 1am UK time when i got up this morning so im wrecked)..

It was +40°C in the day, but very dry heat. Not like Hong Kong which is very humid. Went on a 4x4 Desert Safari.. 12 Toyota Landcruisers in convoy.. awesome!.. but it was a business trip so dont tell anyone... Shhhh...

N

?? were you copying us?

Yeah he was, are you gonna fight him?

Less than two weeks to go now....

We are finalising the details of the track features and evening activities... will post soon... :)

all i can say is that you should not need to bring your own beers and you had better get your brains in gear...

N

thats me knackered :D

how's the track holding up to this crazy weather?

The permanent track is a bit of a boating lake, but the bank for the national is fine, we have had it fenced off now for some time and have been mowing it for the past 6 weeks.

You never need to worry about Oswestry. its a well known wet track, but always raceable.

Will there be any entertainment this year?

Is that what you want?

Erm.........if its on then yeah.

Just asking the question! Was there anything planned?

:cool: Our website will be updated shortly with all of the details dont worry.

Okay thank you!!! :)

Its not that we are keeping you in the dark, we are just awaiting confirmation on something.

Neil

Just to let you guys know its been raining a lot here at Oswestry but the grass area where the track will be is holding out nicely!

another rainy race meet.. lovely

No chance! The sunshine has been booked for that weekend. :cool:

Who is going to enter a team in the Quiz? Only Phil Channon and I know the questions/answers so there will be at least one Oswestry team made up of other club members.
