Re: Brooklands 8.9.19

Andy and were talking about this event the other day. I would like to make the CCI Nationals next year, all being well.

I don't know where the time went at Brooklands. I really enjoyed it but as you said, unfortunately didn't get chance to catch up with everyone, including yourself and Rob.
