[Jarred]

Hi Jarrod,

It will be fine to just rock up. The day is organised by our club, but we are happy for fellow VAG cars to come and join in on the fun.

I will be manning the gate, so guys on here should be fine!

It would be great if everyone could start letting me know if they are definately coming , to give me a rough indication of how many cars will be turning up.

Cheers Adrian
