Entries close on 30 November 2011, – so please enter right away.
We are constantly plagued by members who continually late enter events. While it is always good to have the maximum number of entries at each event possible, these late entries create last minute organisational restructuring that we can do without.
To reiterate Jims comments ” There is a lot of work to do to get the Programme completed before Xmas and to the Printers early in the New Year – so your early entry will help me a lot. Please do your entry right away, especially if you want your name to be in the programme!”
As this meeting is outside our organisation please ensure you represent both the BMW Race Driver Series and the BMW Car Cub of NZ in a positive light by getting your entries in on time.
