I'm sorry you feel this way mate, but I understand. although you know the whole MA situation has been out of our hands. We have been given false promises week in week out so the SRCMCC committee will be making a decision at the end of the week whether its MA or not and then release the alternative venue!

End of the week will be nice to have a venue

Good work guys.

Look forward to finding out where its going to be so I can make up my mind whether I think it's worth entering (if there is space then of course)

Any news on this mystery venue yet? Would be nice to know where it's going to be, i'm sure Nicholas Petit would like to know too ;o)

My thoughts too so I can book at hotel. I know people have said it won't be far, but I'm wanting to get the hotel booking right first time.

njc11 · #87 19-10-2011

yeah it would be nice... i already booked somewhere as it was cheap!

Just hope its not going to be miles away from Moto Arena..

Any ideas guys?? Is it this new indoor venue youve found for your tuesday nights?

If it moves way up North I'll be expecting a refund I'm afraid.

Right chaps,

I have been quiet thus far regarding the venue of the Petit because it is Mr Petit's event not Silverstone RCMCC's.

We have been in close contact with Nicolas over the past months on a regular basis and even more so over the past couple of weeks as I'm sure many of you are aware.

We as a club were asked to RUN the event and the VENUE was agreed with MA so it's not our fault they have let us all down. We have exhausted every avenue and invested much personal time searching everywhere for a new (suitable) venue to host the event at. The reason we decided to try and assist is because Nicolas and our club didn't get the final decision about MA until last week because we were promised by Silverstone Circuit that they would let us use the Venue regardless of MA being involved or not. They changed their plans late last week due to BUSINESS REASONS!!! As I mentioned we have another venue in line, however we're dealing with a multi national company and things move slowly in these circles. We wanted the chance regardless of MA's involvement to host such a prestigious event even if at a great financial loss to our club!!!

So again, I'm sorry if you feel like you have been ill-treated or kept waiting. I didn't want to get involved in giving possible wrong information when I feel we as a club shouldn't post anything regarding Mr Petit's event without it coming from him first.

It is only natural that he has probably asked other venue's/clubs as some of you're hinting at and that is fine. I feel we've done everything possible to make sure this event is as fantastic as the past years that I've been fortunate to attend.

Matt Owen
SRCMCC Chairman

mikeyscott · #93 19-10-2011

Fair play Matt for being open about it

- Fingers crossed then.

hotrodchris · #94 19-10-2011

£13.50 to be exact!!!

youget your top decks ok mate?

I just want to know where its going to be.. as does everyone else! its 3 months away....

Is it going to be at the same venue as the Indoor Finals which were sorted yesterday?

Its not much to ask to give us an idea so we can make plans!

tony12795 · #98 19-10-2011

Agreed.

I would like to think you know me well enough mate to tell you if that was the case. Unfortunately the Petit date isn't available at our new venue otherwise yes it would be.

The Venue we're in talks with is about 15-20 mins from MA as originally promised, however can't disclose address at request of property owners.

njc11 · #**100** 19-10-2011

Appreciated Matt...

But consider everyone else??? People need to make arrangements etc.

Ive booked Travelodge at Silverstone which was the closest you could probably get to MA... ok it was cheap.. but im still going to have to get up earlier and travel a distance which kind of defeats the object of cheap accomodation... for a cheap weekend.. Im having to watch my finances at the moment and im sure im not alone... Its a good 2 1/2 drive for me (fuel costs), plus entry so all the extras start to add up..

You cant disclose an address??? sounds a bit bizarre!
