Due to mounting costs and insufficient funds to make this event financially viable, it has had to be cancelled.
- MarkB will be returning all deposits. Cheques have been banked so please send MarkB a PM with your name, account number, and sort code. (PM link -

- For those that have made arrangements or would like to still attend an event then Autometrix will be at Mallory Park (

Last but not least, a big thank you to the team who tried to make this possible - In particular Andy, David, Mark, and those that commited their finances.

Terrible news, I thought we'd scraped through. As Julian says, major thanks and condolences to Andy, Dave and Mark for their efforts in trying to make this event happen, it would have been a truly great day.
Mallory Park it is then, as I've got a non-returnable room at the Hilton.

Very sad, but I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well done to all involved in the organising and I hope something can be got off the ground in the future. It was an excellent idea and it would be a shame if all the planning went to waste.

Absolutely gutted that this isn't going ahead.

It's a real shame that we couldn't get the required numbers together. Thanks again to Mark, David & Andy for all their efforts.

Don't know if anyone else agrees, but i'd be happy to lose £10 on my refund and let the guys get themselves a meal and a few pints for all their hard work.
Real shame though. Wouldn't put the idea of an RS246 Live to bed for good though. Maybe next year...

Bugger.
Big thanks to the guys for the massive effort and planning that must have gone into this though. Will be good "learning experience" for the next one I am sure.

Me too. Such a shame as I feel everyone was looking forward to it.
I had made a space on the mantlepiece for my show and shine trophy as well

Bugger!!!!
Sorry it didnt fly in the end fella's, after all your efforts behind the scene.
You can take £10 from me as well for a pint or 2.
Is there anything else going on down there that weekend as I'm still booked in for coming down to MRC so could do something on the Saturday

I'll re-iterate the sentiments above. Bugger. Actually...double bugger!
Please take a tenner off mine too. Well done to all involved for all the efforts to get this project off the ground. Hopefully a similar event can be planned for another day.
