We reached Morrisons in Chippenham to find that Mr. AA wasn't there!
Sam had arrived with his car in one piece! And would you Adam and Eve it, we made it to Combe itself without a single issue! Club-306 rolled through the competitors entrance and parked up in the same position as we had in April.
and Then...
Sveny's Snack Shack made a return! Club-306 stocked the shack with Bacon, Sausages and general snacks for all our members at Combe. Simon (Sveny himself!) very kindly provided the gas, cooking facilities and his hospitality. Everyone knows that it is not cheap to eat at Car Shows, well for all those that didn't come to Combe or those that didn't visit the Shack, you missed out on huge savings and a great couple of hours. The only money I spent on the day was to hire a helmet for Stacey to accompany me on track!
You can just about make out the shack behind Lauren's gleaming HDi!
One of the main highlights of the show was the Track Time as usual. Firstly, on the subject of track time, a round of applause is due for for Sam, he actually made it around the track and didn't cause any accidents! So Well Done that man!
Mike, Tim and myself also joined Sam on track for some amazing laps around a nice dry Castle Combe track covered in blistering sunshine!Myself and John on track.
In the picture below you can just see the front end of a Caterham chasing behind Tim, the poor guy had to keep wiping his visor as it was covered in black deposits from Tim's exhaust.
The Uber Derv was certainly a force to be reckoned with on track!
Big Thanks on behalf of all the members that attended Combe go to:
John Blackmore, the big boss man of Club-306, delved his hands into his (very very deep) pockets and spent a pretty penny on sustenance for everyone that attended the show. Not many people can say they get those sort of benefits from other forums!
Sveny, once again provided the Shack for the benefit of other people! You're a credit to the club Mr Svendsen, extreme thanks!
Tim, the organisation of Castle Combe was once again solely organised by Tim! I don't know how he pulls it off but we were without incident again this time around and everyone had an amazing time. Well Done Buddy! Although, even after all your hard work our members still insist on bullying you...
Be sure not to miss Club-306 at the next Castle Combe event. For another year, for Club-306 at least, Castle combe is over!
So What's Next For Club-306?

Xmas Meet 2009 in Dudley
We may sit back and say that the fat bearded man is still a long way away from visiting but it's slowly encroaching on us. The Xmas meet last year was one of 'those' meets that you remember, this year should be no different! Keep an eye out for a thread for the Xmas Meet 2009 from a member of the events team.
Club-306 Calendar 2010.
We've put together a competition thread to allow members to submit pictures that will be considered for a calendar that we're putting together. Once all pictures have been submitted the members will decide on which pictures get used in the calendar and then we'll have it produced and made available to members at the most competitive price we can find. Please see the General Info thread before posting your pictures in the Submissions Thread
============================
The Events Team
We have a space on our events team for an eager and enthusiastic Club-306 member. Starting January 2010 we're going to start making the events boards some of the most important on the forum. We need someone who is proactive and looking to help improve our events calendar.
If you're interested please email Lee@Club-306.com and let us know why you should be on the team.
New Moderator - Lauren_HDI
She may not know how to set an alarm before Combe but has been welcomed onto the moderating team with open arms. Lauren hasn't spent a great deal of time as a member of Club-306 but has proved that she's an active member of the forum by joining us at Castle Combe twice and then travelling to French Car Show to meet up with everyone. She's become a moderator to provide some balance to the team, and so that Sarah isn't the only female moderator. Not that she needs it but strength in numbers is always nice! Please be patient while we provide Lauren with help and instruction to moderate the boards, I'm sure she'll soon be up-to-speed and moderating the forum with ease.
Pictures, Videos, Blogs and More from Castle Combe events 2009 can be uploaded to French Car Network
