Re: The Ace Cafe 2013
Can't believe it's only 4 weeks to go. We got 6ins of snow with 4-5 ft drifts blowing across the road off the fields. As it's only 0 degrees I go for a little drive - Bit chilly. Think camping @ Easter next weekend is out the window !

Re: The Ace Cafe 2013
This time last year was tee shirts and roofs down! Snowed albeit lightly today.... still, what falls now won't fall later. Got English Moke out today - short drive, and back into the snug. FUD Moke wouldn't start. Even my investment in a trickle charger wasn't enough to save the (already starting to fail) battery! Fingers crossed for the ACE
Get a life, Get a Moke...

Last March was fantastic , then the summer was a complete washout ! So this year March is awful which means we must be in for a brilliant summer ! I live in hope

Re: The Ace Cafe 2013
hi after meeting you guys yesterday cold damp and in good fettle, i just joined your forum my name is steve and yes i,m a brooklands marshal (the one that collects moke drive shafts of test hill )
reason for posting i live 20 minutes away from the ace cafe and offer my services if required to help out at this event please let me know if you need me in a proffesional way or just a casual helper
we have a good team at brookland and if you hold events and need extra help we might be able to help
but we do have a full calender so advance warning is needed

Hi Steve, I just thawed out from Sunday at Brooklands!.Thanks for your kind offer of help at the forthcoming Ace Cafe event, we should be OK but you're more than welcome to attend & give support. I know Phil, whose bits & pieces you swept up off The Test Hill last year, would appreciate some "Waiter Service", eg bacon sarnies,teas, coffees etc., on the day! Hope to see you there. Regards, Andy Woolhouse.

Re: The Ace Cafe 2013
because we don't have a subscription for the boat, and we come to the 30th Birthday weekend.
We don't come to the Ace café this year
