They can take cards over the phone, and you can renew online... so for official MMOC events (such as this and the national rally etc) it may be a good idea being able to book these online too? Sorry thats more work for Jon...

You will be towing a trailer with those spares in then! You have forgotten your break down recovery membership card!!!
I will be attending in my Series MM with a picture of my Traveller which I would not trust to make it out of Reading without breaking down.

I must be crazy. I've been commuting in my Minor over 300 miles a week, without ANY SPARES! "Crazy mad fool" I hear you shout. I am even going to drive to Gaydon tomorrow in my spares-free Minor. It is only 2 miles from my house though, so I could always push the car if I'm caught out by my wreckless lack of spares! Gtt1951 - how are you going to fit in your car with all those bits you're carrying?! ;-)
Hi All,
I hope that you had a Nice day at Gaydon!
Now please put pics. for us,
Thanks
Regards
Carlos

Carlos, I only took a few pictures, but my daughter took a load more - I don't have those yet.
Mine are below (first picture shows my Traveller in the "middle" of the group)[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
Those were the 10, or so, Split-screen examples. Wider view next[frame][/frame]You'll have to wait until the other photos are available to me. Meanwhile, here is a picture of the "official" photographer on a tall "cherry-picker" crane, getting "ariel" shots.[frame][/frame]
