Just the one bump... One day to go! ALL proceeds go to the VSCA - Many thanks to all who have bidded so far SIGNED AYCLIFFE POSTER

In aid of the VSCA... The giant (80x120cm) poster which was signed by many of those present at the Aycliffe Reunion night on 22nd November 2008. Signatures include Tony Neal, Willie Harrison, Earl Testo, Terry Forster, Jimmy Young, George Rudd, Richie Monkhouse, Des Penny, and Mike Alderson, among many more who were linked to Aycliffe Stadium. This is a one-off - no more posters were produced other than this one. A real piece of Stock Car history... Please dig deep! SIGNED AYCLIFFE POSTER ON EBAY

LAST MINUTE NEWS: SOLD OUT All 350 tickets are spoken for. Unfortunately, if you've not got a ticket already we don't have room... RAY LIDDY Ray informed me yesterday that he can’t make it on Saturday. Clearly this threw a rather large spanner in the works, as the entire night had been planned around his film show. Programmes had gone to print (they look great – everyone gets one and one or two other mementos!), and it was too late to change them. Arrangements had been made for space for the film show in the hall. After a few frantic phone calls to some great people, I have secured plenty of rare footage of Aycliffe to show on the big screen throughout the night – including some very special cinefilm from the 60s and 70s. Rather than alternating this with the disco, I am now planning on the both the films and the disco running at the same time throughout the evening. It has been noted that ‘it’s all gone a bit Aycliffe’, and that we should feel more at home with a slightly more chaotic arrangement. If only we can persuade Mr Geldard to don his gold hard hat and run around telling everyone off, it will be just like the old days! I can understand that people may be disappointed that Ray Liddy will not be there – I certainly am – but I hope that what we have lined up will more than make up for it. DOORS OPEN Due to the sheer amount of tickets sold (we’ve sold out at around 350!), we have decided to open the doors slightly earlier at 6.30pm to try to avoid people queuing for too long. At this point I’m not sure if the bars will be open for 6.30, but they will definitely be open for 7 at the latest. I would suggest arriving as early as possible. As you come into the main hall, please ensure you pick up your programme and memento. You should also make sure you sign the big pink poster – this will be auctioned off at a later date on eBay for the Veteran’s Association. There will also be a space to write the names of those people you associated with Aycliffe but are no longer with us – John Rigg will be leading a toast to ‘Absent Friends’ after the buffet. MERCHANDISE STALLS As previously announced, Derek Smith will be in attendance with his old programme and magazine stall. Also available on Derek’s stall will be some polo shirts which have been especially commissioned for the night, some photo posters and some DVDs of the old 1980s Screensport footage of Aycliffe. The polo shirts are available in various sizes, but are very limited in what is available on the night. Should anyone want one, and their size has run out, I will place the order forms on Derek’s stall – I will be making one further order on December 1st so that they can be received well in time for Christmas. All proceeds from the shirts, posters and DVDs will be going to... Well... You’ll have to wait until the night to find out just what we have planned for next year! In addition to Derek’s stall it is a pleasure to be able to host the Veteran’s Stock Car Association stall – all proceeds from this stall go to the Vets. I’m sure Paul will have information on how to join the association too.

With just over a week left to get tickets, and orders coming in quickly - over 60 tickets have been sold since the weekend - we now have almost 250 sold in total. This gives us around 100 tickets left, and when they are gone, that's it. I never thought I'd be saying this, but we could be looking at a sell out!

Less than one month to go to the big night... If you need tickets, you have until 14th November (one week before the reunion) Details on... NEVER ENOUGH STOX and now on THAT NEW FANGLED FACEBOOK THINGY

Carl's finally making the switch to National Hot Rods then?

The latest newsletter (and last before the night) has just been emailed out. If anyone hasn't got it, please get in touch.

With the big night rapidly approaching, there is now some important ticket info and the programme for the night on NES - CLICK HERE

Got to say a massive well done to Kings Lynn on their website in the run up to the weekend. After attending five meetings in two weeks, the semi was off my list. However, with the news coming thick and fast from KL, I've been caught up in all the hype and it's more than likely that I'll be attending. This is exactly how promoters should be using the internet

Tickets are now on sale. Please drop me a line for info.

Great pic... Love the Ernie Dent car - almost as much as I love the Earl Testo car! The legendary Whip Chicken Farm would be great to see... Maybe we should get Tony Robinson and his croneys down there for a bit of a Time Team special - 'Oooo- Arrrrr... Mick, I think this might just be a genuine piece of Wojtowicz bumper...'
