Some dates for your diary

The SIDC are pleased to announce some more dates of interest:
Friday 11th July
----------------
Firstly, there is a track night at Knockhill on Friday 11th July, from 6pm to 8pm. This event is being run by our good friends in the Lotus club. Booking is on-line at www.lotusecosse.com, and the cost is £45, which includes instruction. This will most likely be a "quiet" event, with an almost empty track most of the time, so ideal for first timers.
Saturday 12th July
------------------
Skid car training in Aberdeen. Using a road car mounted in a special height adjustable cradle, you'll learn how to control understeer, oversteer, use cadence/threshold braking, simulate driving on ice etc, all in a very safe and controllable environment. Sharing the car with the instructor and one other driver, you will spend around 90 minutes in the car, with about half of this time behind the wheel. As well as being great fun, you'll also learn some invaluable techniques in car control, with skid correction becoming instinctive. The commercial rate for this training is £125 per person, but for club members the price is only £55. There are only two places left on this date, both for the 14:30 slot.
Sunday 13th July
----------------
We have a choice of two events on this date, one north east, the other in the west.
Firstly, at Alford Transport Museum, we have been invited by the Peugeot Ecosse club to attend their national event. There will be a number of car clubs with display stands, traders, food vendors etc, but the highlight as always is the use of the small sprint track. It costs only a few pounds to take your car around this tight and twisty track, and is always a very popular event. Photos from a previous event there can be viewed at http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/alford.html
Secondly, we have an invite from the RS Owners Club to attend their Central Scotland event at Strathclyde Park, just off the M74 (near Glasgow) on Sunday July 13th. Usual attractions such as concours event, trade stands, visiting car clubs etc. The event is on all day from about 9am, and we are encouraging members to go along on the day to display their cars and do the club proud.
Tuesday 22nd July
-----------------
Skid Car Training in Aberdeen. As described above for the 12th July, but a mid week session instead of the weekend. Same low price at only £55 for members and £65 for guests/friends/framily, and only a single afternoon slot remaining, though we could schedule another pair from 5pm onwards if there was confirmed interest.
Saturday 26th July
------------------
The SIDC have booked Knockhill for a whole Saturday morning, so no excuses about being at work! We have the track booked from 9am to 1pm, though driver sign on is at 8pm. The cost is only £65 for members, for the four hours open pit lane format event. The price includes tuition from the resident instructors if required, and use of the supporting wheel and tyres van to change wheels & tyres etc., rent/buy slicks, etc. Always very popular with spectators, there are no charges for passenger laps, or even additional drivers. Book online at http://shop.sidc.co.uk in the track day section (quickest way to guarantee a place), or send John Stewart an e-mail on john@sidc.co.uk for a booking form which you can return with a cheque.
Sunday 3rd August
-----------------
A welcome return to Alford for another multi-car club event, this time hosted by our friends in the Ford owners club. A similar format to the Peugeot event, with plenty of well prepared cars to look at, static displays - including a genuine AC Cobra, trade stands, and of course the ever popular track action.
If you are interested in any of the above events, or want more information, please contact John on john@sidc.co.uk
We'll also hopefully try and get another Kames event or two as well
