Keanes messed me around big time!

Bit late contacting K Barry, I've already spoken to one of the ladies in BMW Ireland, she said that she would look into it for us today!

Hi lads, I was thinking of popping along on saturday but I wasnt sure cos of a few things a) I am not a member yet (I will join when I get the chance (bad excuse I know sorry))
b) I wont know anyone there and dont want to be a billy no mates that no one talks to

Any thoughts? 
I almost forgot I kdo know Derek M5 he worked in my place but I was under the impression he'd left Ireland is he still here?

Mike - come on down. Non members would be more than welcome. If nobody talks to you then you will feel just like me! Seriously, you'll be grand.

WRT Derek - I think he is in France on a break after leaving Ireland.

You're more than welcome to come along for the event, the more the merrier and all that.  With regards to not knowing anyone, I wouldn't worry about it at all as there a friendly group of guys (& ladies) in the club, so you will have no problem mixing in!.  I'll be there from 10.20am taking names and cash etc so just ask for me - Geoff

That was a brilliant bit of fun. Congratulations to Tomas on his victory.

Thanks Geoff for the work you put in.

We should do 2 or 3 Kart events a year at different locations around the country. For example Tynagh in co. Galway, Kilcornan in Limerick, Watergrasshill in Cork, The new Kilkenny track, Athboy in Meath. These are all outdoor to add more spice to the event.

Have to agree with Gerard what a great bit of craic and am looking forward to the next one. Great prizes given by BMW Ireland and everbody left with something from the day, have to make this a regular event on next years calendar. Well done Thomas very impressed with your driving.

Had a blast myself.Really can't wait for the next event.I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be back at the track before then for practice

Thanks again Geoff....organisation and prizes were top class.

And of course Well done to Thomas who left most of us for dust!
