Well that Dunton talk sort of superseded it and it was all a bit of a rush job. I might try and do one next year at Warley with an open access to the public too. Equally, the Classic/Fast Ford mags wanted me to talk at their event next year.

There's several I've been asked to attend but I need be judicious with time. Here's what I know of:

- June(?) an event at Gaydon that's (I'm told) smaller than the "Ultimate Ford" event the same day which has greater interest. - So I'll likely miss those.
- Brooklands - there's some event there in Sept which I might do
- Dunton - a Ford employee on this forum is trying to set up Frankie's Classic Car & Bike show which has been a big event in Ford circles I believe - hosting at Dunton. This is the same time as the Brooklands event and so I might come over for both?
- Kelsey Media (Fast/Classic Ford) have an event and have asked me to talk.

TBH - I don't mind doing a few and talking of asked but I'd welcome help prioritizing!

Sadly my dear old mum and I were one of the 10,000 stuck at Gatwick. So £1,200 and one lost MacBook later we ended up in Spain theee days late. Sigh.

For those that have the book for Xmas. Have fun, use it to avoid the in-laws as I shall by pretending to read it.
