NEXT MEETINGS

If you can hear 'Old MacDonald had a Farm' in the background

you are not going mad - it's the GASS song.  Please don't ask why, it's a long story!

 

 

 

 

FEBRUARY

 

Tuesday 7th February

 

 

CLOSE UP MAGIC DISPLAY

The Roffen Restaurant

Idea - Nick      -      Organiser - Steve B

 

Spencer Wood, Magic Circle and Close Up Magician of the Year

AT THE FEBRUARY MEETING WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE AGM OPTIONS.

At present we have only two remaining with sponsors willing to organise the event.

TONY = BARCELONA             BRIAN = IBIZA

All the details are on the AGM page which you can reach from here AGM 2012

 

 

 

MARCH

 

Tuesday 6th March

 

F1 Racing Simulator

Gatwick

 

A brand new, highly technical, state of the art F1 simulator, 10 cars, plus loads of goodies.

THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO MISS -  20 DRIVER PLACES ONLY - Spectators welcome

4.00pm start so we make our own way there and back.

 

See the centre at

www.puretechracing.com

 

        

 

See a YouTube video of the set-up here  -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VxMHwrip44

They have recently introduced a ‘batak wall’ to the centre,  used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton is a fun added extra
that involves both speed and reactions used by many athletes. It is also an added extra for all our events.
Please have a look at the clip attached:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mhf9qL7xJs

They strongly recommend this local pub:  Called The Six Bells:    It is a great pub with good beers and food. 
http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/yeoldesixbellshorley/findus/.

The cost is £40 a head for the simulator.  This is equal to the cost of your monthly sub, but it is obviously worth a go!

If we get ourselves there to Gatwick by car/cab under our own steam, the GASS covers the Simulator, could we do a whip of £25 for dinner?

Timings are good, Gatwick by 3.45, missing the rush hour, 4-7 at the centre, 8 minute walk to the pub for dinner at 7.30, out by 11, home by 12.

 

It would be essential if anyone is NOT coming to let me know as we would have a list of guests for this one - so if you are a NO you MUST let me know!
