Post by: Trouble on May 04, 2007, 01:11:24 pm: Ill stick the details on here as well.

TR&D is Toyota repairs and development with our Ian Smith.

He has a new unit and me and AndyS aka fenderman have badgered him into having a grand opeing day!

This is on the 27th May Sunday from 11 till 4 and the monday is a bank holiday.

There a free glass of bubbly lots of party tricks and games PS2 with GT4 obviously :D

There is a BBQ and drinks available and you are very welcome to bring your own stuff and we'll cork it or cook it for you.

We are inviting lots of other clubs and having a huge meet as the industrial estate is private land and the other businesses will be closed so should have a huge car park to ourselfs.

Also we will be inviting JTuner and other mags along for the fun so make sure we'r all shiny :D

If you need to knnow anything please either Pm or post!

Directions to follow.
