UPDATE FOLLOWING VISIT TO LP YESTERDAY (26/9)
Denis Chick (who set up the R8 Press launch at LP in 1989) and I visited yesterday and had a very good planning meeting.

c. 3.00 Participants return to LP for coffee in Spa brasserie but parking in main car park at rear - (optional)
There will be a roadbook for each participating car and I will post the route here too to allow familiarisation.
We will be able to park at the front of the house before the drive
We now need to confirm numbers so will
