Use anything you like - if you want I will put anything on disc and post to you.

Oh don't forget it's .co.uk now.

Angus - I'm new to this show milarky - what photos are you after Just general pics of Excels - I can print some and get them laminated at work. I also have copies of original brochures if they are any use.
Glad to help any way I can

Cheers,
Phil

Any photos of video of Excels/Eclats/Elites would be most useful.

I plan to edit them together into an expanded version of the DVD I produced for Donington.

Any really good photos can also be printed as "set dressing" for the stand.

Don't forget that Lotus Excel dot Net is 2 years old on the 1st November.

In case anyone wonders what happened to the posts about programmes etc. from Hethel - I've split them off into a new thread since they were drifting away from the Stoneleigh topic.

Right - onto the next event : Stoneleigh, 4th November.

I had a chat with Alan Morgan on Sunday and the plan is as follows :

* clubs will get a stand in the main hall to promote themselves (I'm negotiating for a largish one again so that we can do some last minute Beaujolais run mugging/fundraising)
* cars will be parked inside, grouped by model
* there will be prizes for "car you most want to take home" from the featured models (probably 1st prize for each of Elite, Eclat and Excel + some highly commendeds)

To make this work, we need to provide
i) an indication of number of cars arriving so that space can be reserved
ii) marshals from around 8:00 a.m. to help direct people to the reserved parking.

So - please post here (after this post) if i) you'll be attending in your Excel and ii) if you can help with the marshalling or iii) personning the stand.

Unfortunately, I'll be arriving a little late because we're at a Forensic Science conference in Wyboston the day before and dinner tends to be quite "energetic" at these things

Angus

P.S. - For those who remember my frantic posts from France about a broken exhaust - I plan to try to convert the welded section into a trophy which can be awarded, annually, to the member with the "most creative breakdown story" of the year. Please start thinking of nominees.

Hi Angus,

I will definately be attending. Like you, I have a bit of a doo the night before but will get there as early as pos. Will have to try and stay sober I can help with marshaling or man the stand if required

Cheers,

Phil

I'm hoping to be there in my Excel. Not sure what time I will be arriving/leaving - it's a long way from Cardiff - but will help man the stand if needed!

Like the idea of the trophy Angus - I just hope I won't be a contender!

Bryan

I'll be coming. Do we need to be there by any particular time?

W.Nut.

Hi Angus I'll be coming in the Lotus

Paul, ( doulou )

Angus - I live on the out skirts of Leicester, so its not to far for me, If you need any help just let me know

Paul

See you there!

Shannon & Kieran are looking forward to the parts show and we are willing to help. Do you want the screen and projector again? Will hopefully be brining the Excel.

Hi all,

Us LEF and LEC boys will all be there so look forward to seeing you all!

Hi Angus

I will be up in an Excel not sure which one but I am hoping it is the restored one
