The Festival organisers have just told us that the booking deadline for Car Club ticket packages has been extended until 31st July (unless tickets sell out before!). Club packages are incredible value and remember that all of them include a priceless free infield parking pass to our club stand. In our opinion it’s the best classic and race festival in the UK and with our member discounts certainly the best value.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I have the following ticket for sale. The ticket is for The CTL Garden Party on Sunday 16th June at East Carleton Manor. The cost would be almost half price at only £100. Please contact me on coooterry@aol.com or 07956 435321. Terry Cook

And to help things along, we've two great speakers lined up.

I am a Club Lotus member and recently bought tickets for this year's Silverstone Festival using the Club Lotus code. Literally a few hours after purchasing them I realised that my husband and l can no longer attend the event.

I paid £125 for Saturday 24th August. I contacted Silverstone and they do not do refunds . I wondered if any members would be interested in buying the tickets from

me for £100. If a Club member is interested they can contact (Joan Batley) me via email: joan.s.batley@gmail.com

The Jim Clark Trust are organising a weekend event at Duns to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jim’s first F1 World Championship and also Team Lotus first F1 Constructors World Championship.

The event will be based at Duns Castle where there will be a big display of Lotus racing cars raced by Jim during his career. Other vintage Lotus and sports cars will also be there plus a big display of Lotus road cars. It is hoped that the engines of the Grand Prix cars will be started periodically over the weekend to enable visitors to hear the evocative noise they generate.
