Haynes have great catering facilities, so you can either eat in their restaurant or bring a picnic - it's up to you. If you've not been to Haynes before, then take the opportunity to pay a visit - the red room is fab...
Please note that if you wish to use the track (which may be small but is a lot of fun!) then please let me know ASAP. Additionally, if you have TVR or car related things to sell, please let me know so David can reserve you a spot.
To find out more, email Sarah or post on the forum to ask any questions about the meeting.
