Thanks guys, correct me if I'm wrong but I have 9 names as follows:-

Shaun
Richard
Jerry
Phil
Met Blu
Kev
Pete
Alan
bash

For each person I just need either your real name or MLOC name. From the list above I have all I need with the exception of two I'm not sure of, namely Richard and Pete.
If there are any others I may have missed just let me know.

Hi Everyone, we have a good number of first timers booked on to Lotus in the Peak this year and have had one or two query not having received tickets.

To clarify: there are no printed tickets for LitP. Everyone that has booked will receive full instructions digitally by email in the week before the event. For those booked on a run these instructions will include your group number and leader. There will also be a 'run signing on form' - It is important that this form is printed off, signed and handed to your assigned leader on arrival at your start point. This is a legal requirement for our MSUK event approval. No form no run! So please take care to bring it with you to the start point.

Please keep an eye on your inbox and be sure to check your spam mail just in case!

Additionally - All those booked onto the 'Classic Run' please note there has been a change of run start start point and it will now be Calton Lees Car Park Chatsworth, off the A6012 DE4 2NX. (NOT HASSOP STATION CAFE).

Thanks everyone - We're all looking forward to a great day, we hope you are too! :)

The LitP Team

I am currently enduring a painful episode of sciatica due to a slipped disk. I have been hoping that it will improve to a point where I’ll be able to come along but I still find it painful sitting in the car and cannot complete the minor but fiddly work I need to do to get through an MOT,

When does the Classic run list close?

Cheers, Richard

Thanks for the replies chaps,

To confirm, those booked on currently are:-
Shaun W
MrCoola
Tanz
MetBlu
KevW
Pete Boole (currently without car)
Alan_M
bash

Yet to book:-
richardw

Sorry to hear about your sciatica Richard, I hope it soon eases but I know recovery can be a very long and drawn out business.
The run bookings will be closing very soon now, I think we currently have 38 on the classic run and plan to run with 4 groups of 10 so just two more spaces left. If the spaces don't fill before then we'll probably close all run bookings next weekend to allow ourselves time to get everything sorted and details emailed out to everyone.

I’m sure I’ll have a spare front seat if interested, although which car it will be is yet to be decided.

More LitP raffle prizes have been generously donated for this year's event.

Car Service Packs (https://www.carservicepacks.co.uk/) have given us a £75 voucher - for those that don't know them they supply high-spec oils and other service items by mail order at very competitive prices. The proprietor Graham Laslett is an Elise racer. Check out their website. Thanks Graham!

My Lotus Parts (https://www.mylotusparts.com/) have given us a £100 voucher. My Lotus Parts are a new business sourcing and supplying genuine Lotus parts for the Elise and Exige platform cars, and have taken over the business of well known and respected Lotus man, Phil 'Junks' Peeks. Thank you My Lotus Parts!

Both businesses will be at Chatsworth for the event.

The raffle prize draw will take place after our picnic lunch at Chatsworth on the big day, Sunday 10th July 2022. All proceeds go to our supported charity Rainbows Hospice for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.

Here's two more prizes to tell you about.

Firstly a new sponsor for LitP - Steve Gill of Maverick Coatings Limited (based near Burton on Trent) has offered us a fabulous prize that will feature in our charity auction. He is offering to re-coat the auction winner's Lotus wheels up to the value of £250 (more than sufficient to do any wheels of 19 inches or less). So bring your wallets and be ready to bid on the day!

What a great prize! Thank you Steve. Here's a link to Steve's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/593086725668386

Secondly, another great raffle prize from somebody who needs no introduction - our very good friends at Eliseparts.com.
A superb lightweight racing trolley jack!

If you're looking for a part for your Lotus then Eliseparts are hard to beat!
Thank you guys!
You can email them at sales@eliseparts.com or call on 01480 860002

All proceeds from the auction and raffle go to the Rainbows Hospice for children and young people
