Firstly, thank you to everyone who was able to make it this year, it was great having you all there and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
I would like to apologize for the problems with the stand, parking and organizing. We did have a solid plan and everything was fine, although once we arrived we found we had around 7 Meters less than we should of had, which meant our plan went out the window!!
I'd like to put a special mention out to Kingy who very kindly put the effort in to help sort camping (along with Kimmie). The facilities were very good for our female members and the plot we got meant we were not in anyone's way, brilliant location and good price, all in all. Thank you!
I'd also like to extend a thank you to all the MOD team who helped make FCS possible and with the organisation on the day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures!
Regards
Adam

Does anyone know the guy with the 205? He's from Dartfod area and he's got a 405 Le Mans that I should be having off him once he's removed engine...

Could have just chucked it in with ours mate, we didn't mind and we seemed to pick up a few extras while we were there anyway
What an epic weekend though. Many thanks to everyone involved in getting things organised, all the people on the front row for putting in an awesome effort with your cars, and indeed to everyone else in the club. I had a fantastic time meeting everyone, putting names to faces and hearing all about everyone's cars. It was a great atmosphere with everyone and camping was awesome (as Fooby said - massive thanks to Kingy for being awesome getting us that rate!). The BBQ was great, thanks to Mark and Darren for sorting out and bringing the food down for everyone at such great prices, I really enjoyed mine and everyone else I spoke to said the same.
It was a bit of a shame to get there and find out that we actually had considerably less space than we had been told we would, and made for a difficult time getting the stand organised this morning. Thanks to everyone (well, most of you!) for being patient at the back and letting us get on with getting things in order.
To the fella in the diablo Dturbo who left his car on the end of the 2nd row when we were all arriving - I'm glad you got back and moved your car when you did as I had a tow rope good and ready to move it for you
All in all, the turnout this weekend was nothing short of amazing, I think this about sums it up for me:

I got a picture from the paddock suit and there was loads of 306s when we arrived.
The guy in the Diablo did get there just in time seeing as he left his window open

By the way, as I said I would, and just to say thanks for sorting that out, I've changed your title for you as discussed.

Yeah I was a little peed off. Specially when it's already planned out and he couldn't be arse to wait in his car for 10 minutes. Could clearly see I was sat next to his car waiting for it to be shifted.
I ended up other side inbetween dan and nial

Absolutely gutted I didn't make it, estate only made it as far as Gretna before chronic overheating. Me and mark whipped the head off last night and it's warped almost beyond repair.
Didn't make it in the end and fitting the new head today at my parents' house. Massive thanks to those of you who helped find him, and ash himself for bringing his spare head on the off chance I'd want it. Properly touched that a load of strangers were so willing to help out another stranger.
Hope you all had an epic weekend, guess I've got another 12 months to prepare for it's first FCS now!
