See ye all in the morning.
Whose staying over or is there only a few of us? Bernard I take it the dress code isnt over dramatic for the local pubs is it? Will I get away without hiring black tie?

I'd say 12 would be fine, still better safe than sorry I suppose.

If thats the case, I'd be inclined to go with the time spedified on the official letter from the motor club. As I understand it, the lead car will be checking the track from early on, if we make it to Bernards by 11.30 / 12.00, that should be sufficient.

Second that, thanks a million Bernard, and Mrs Bernard for the great cooking. Was a great day, and nice to meet up with everyone. Didn't have a camera myself, but looking forward to seeing what was taken, some great looking cars there.

Yeah lads, great day. Very chilled out and thanks to Berno and his misses for slaving away for us! Any of ye get caught in the floods by Rathkeale? We came up on a woman in an Astra estate who didnt exactely make it... Stranded under the bridge up to her knees when she got out! And to make it worse the jeeps etc kept splashing her as they drove on past!! It came up freakishly fast cause we left early enough...

Cheers lads.
I had a great day myself, my garden never looked better.

Did you win the karting or just the race to stand on the tallest step ;-)

So p-ed off that I had to work today otherwise I'd have been there pushing the rest of yous off the track..(or trying atleast)

we have to do an outdoor karting meet sometime soon..

Posted: **Mon Jun 02, 2008 5:20 pm**

Oh God... *shudders*

All the bad memories from the last day at that track are coming flying back to me...

Posted: **Mon Jun 02, 2008 6:02 pm**

Bernard, Well done on the Karting and thanks for the hospitality.

Posted: **Mon Jun 02, 2008 6:05 pm**

Ah crap, if I'd known ye were karting today I would've called out again.
Kilcornan I presume?

Masa, pics are way too big, can you reduce down the size of the ones displayed (maybe click on the pics for the bigger version)?
