I think we've all discussed concerns with the event at length, but also all showed how great we thought it was overall! Hopefully wifey will be available next time.

Is there any appetite out there amongst the members and organisers for any Ayrton Senna memorabilia? I have some vey high quality paintings from his JPS lotus days, all framed and in A1 condition.

I would dearly like these to make money for a “deserving” cause.

My feeling is that this could be achieved via BOTG but, I really want to get this right.

What would be a shame is a buyer at auction then selling on for profit. That just doesn’t do what I want it to do. I also want to see our own members/supporters have the genuine opportunity to get involved.

Maybe we have others with a similar position?

Happy to discuss. I do not want to place any burden on Olly, Natacha or anybody really. Just to open this out to some discussion.

Let me know your thoughts please folks.

I suppose you could donate them to PCS as raffle prizes or, probably better, auction lots to be sold on the day Bruce.

If they were raffled its a bit of pot luck who gets them and they could possibly move them on quite quickly but, as an auction lot, at least they'd hopefully go to an enthusiast who would probably want to keep them.

Only my thoughts really though, if you do go that way, bear in mind that whoever does end up with them will have no sentimental attachment as you seem to have for them.

I have to agree with Dave here. I think in a raffle they could go to anyone, which is great but they may not have genuine love for them. In an auction, they will be bought by someone who actually wants them.

Olly:Ive at least two maybe three couples driving from Holland to the event
Just a thought,what about a trophy for those that traveled the furthest???

 

[brucemillar]

Would this include "getting lost on the M25"?

We thought about that but not sure how we would police it! I suppose there could be a board in which people write their mileages down. Just have to hope that people were honest with it!

 

[tbourner]

Could specify distance from their home, and require evidence of home address (driving licence etc.).
