Centenary Race - the Tucker Trophy

[Leigh Sebba]

I hope tonight to collect the key to my neighbour’s Box at Brands, together with a number of tickets. So I should have some spare tickets if anyone wants – e mail me off line with your address.

As for access to the box this should be OK for all Mog followers when I am there although you may be asked for one of my tickets. If so I’ll distribute them in paddock.

The Box is B20 and overlooks start / finish – some of you have been there before.

There should be some refreshments in the box, and perhaps we can all sit there and eat Catherine’s birthday cake.

Leigh,

Could we agree that competitors in the Morgan Centenary Race have to eat the cake before the race? I'm looking for any advantage to get the Tucker car near the front..........especially if it rains & I'm on Dunlops (excuse 37(ii) from the historic drivers excuse book)!!

Sadly we will have to celebrate Catherine's birthday without her as she will be supporting Charles at the School's Rowing Championships in Nottingham.

See you Saturday,

[Leigh Sebba]

Surely all competitors in the Tucker Trophy Race will allow the ex Jim Tucker car to win

[Catherine Emberson]

Very sensible suggestion Leigh. But is anybody else as fair minded as you? I'll certainly provide the cake if everyone lets RU win!!! John will be racing on Dunlops so perhaps he could be given a few laps head start as well! I'm sure he wouldn't object. If things don't go well for Charles we may make it down to Brands Hatch in time for the race but hopefully he will get through to the finals of the 1st 8s at 4.30. I believe a win at the National Schools Competition means an automatic entry to Henley so despite mixed results so far this season we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Catherine.

I have the Box key and a few spare tickets too

Well I’m offering it for free to worthy Morgan enthusiasts – but only for the BIG raceday – Saturday on the Club circuit for the Tucker Trophy. Not those periphery Sunday and Monday races on the GP circuit.

I’ll probably also provide tea and biscuits. (Well – it’s cheaper than actually racing).

Is there an provisional entry list for the race ?

[Chris Acklam]

I know Leigh, but they sent it to me so I just put it up to cater (literally) for the unworthy Morgan enthusiast...

(cue quote, which I am sure you will all recognise:
"We lock up all our politicians as soon as they get elected."
"Why?"
"It saves time.")

Tea and biscuits? Now you're talking.

See you on Saturday

[John Emberson]

.................and birthday cake to help provide "ballast" to my fellow competitors!!

[Mark Shears]

Hi Guys (and Gals!),

Do we have a final entry list of competitors for the Tucker Trophy ?

Guy should know!

See you all Saturday anyway.

Cheers

Mark

Gents,

this is a last minute bid for spare tickets for this Saturday. I have a few friends coming along and I would like to, if at all possible, get my hands on a further three tickets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and the generosity would no doubt be re-paid in a beer or two, after the race of course (unless you've entered a +8 that is).


thanks for reading


Jonathon

[John Clarke]

I should have at least one - see you in the paddock

Jonathan,

Regards,

Simon

Finally - an entry list

[Mary Lindsay]

Dear Guy,
Thank you very much indeed for a lovely day’s racing yesterday. The Morgan race was a lot of fun and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you, too, for the generous hospitality which was much appreciated. I hope that the rest of the weekend’s racing enjoys the same sunshine and goes as smoothly as Saturday.
Unfortunately we were unable to stay for the evening social event as I had to get back to my dogs who had been alone (and hungry!) all day.
If this becomes an annual event I will certainly be very interested in entering again.
By the way, your emails are playing up again. I tried to send this message to you direct but it bounced back because your mailbox is full.
Many thanks once again,
Mary
