Sounds like a great opportunity for photos

And of course, a good way to catch up with ACT members too!

Jeo, Is there a particular area that the mx5s will be parking at?

Yep, we’ll all be together. When you turn up there will be some people at the gate who will ask you which club you’re with; when you reply “why the MX5 club of course”, they’ll direct to you our allocated area.

Unfortunately the Fairbairn Park hillclimb is on the same day (last one for the year) so I will have a run out there.

Hope the MX5s have their usual good showing at the Marques. This is the first I have missed for a few years.

Yeah, same day as the hillclimb is a bit rough hey? Someone at one of the organisations stuffed up, not sure which one to blame though.

Thanks for making the trek down Victor, was really good to see someone make that much of an effort. Thanks also to all the locals who came too.
