Stuart ScottMay 24 2016, 3:59pmHi John,

It worked fine for me just there (in Firefox). Do you have those biscuit things turned on ok?

Anyone interested in carpooling up?

Stuart

Stuart ScottMay 27 2016, 10:31amAnyone looking for a lift up tomorrow or with a spare seat? It's a long way up on one's lonesome!

Many thanks,

Stuart.
Stuart ScottMay 27 2016, 10:38amSomebody more knowledgeable might be able to confirm, but NIMRA races generally require waterproof trousers to be carried as well. Might be worth throwing them in the car just in case! http://www.newcastleac.org/?page_id=8489
