any ideas on the name of this pub or is it literally right next to the travelodge?

Right next to it. Next time you see a Travelodge or Premier Inn have a look and you'll find that nearly all of them have a pub/restaurant next to them.

Does this tesco have a car wash? :D I'm assuming it does if its an 'extra' but thought its worth asking sometimes they are small petrol stations with no facilities.
No car wash in Tesco Kelly, but there is an IMO/ARC automatic wash thingy near to McDonalds/KFC. There is also a car wash in the BP garage and a pressure washer in a few others dotted about. There is a Texaco garage next to the pub/hotel, but I can't remember if it has a pressure washer or a car wash.

It is a Table Table pub, the site is called Pantruthyn Farm. It is literally next door though. I'll be rocking up at the pub around 7-8ish on Friday. I can give you all directions for Sat morning or I can pop back down and lead you all there. (Sat nav might take you the long way).

regarding the track, do we just rock up there in the morning or have you got passes etc that you will be handing out the night before?

Rock up at the track. There will be an announcement put over the tannoy (I think at 9am, Sam did say) for drivers to report for signing on. This will be were the drivers fill out a form signing away their life and all their possesions etc. You will then be given a coloured wristband that represents the experience group you have been put in. You would normally pay at this point as well, although I assume everyone has paid in full already and Sam is sorting the payments out with the Track. There will then be a drivers safety briefing and on leaving, you will be given a sticker that matches the colour of your wristband. This usually goes on the top of the windscreen on the drivers side.

They will then call the different sessions out by colour, usually with Red (The most experienced) going first, followed by Blue and Orange (Intermediate) and Green last (Amatuer). Don't be tempted to save face or act big infront of everyone by saying "Yeh, I'm a fuckin' pro see" if you've never been on a track before. If this is your first ever trackday, put yourself in the green group. No-one will think any less of you. If you've done one or two trackdays before, put yourself in one of the intermediate sessions. If you've done several trackdays, go for the red. And don't lie about it either. Putting yourself in a more experienced group when you have none could compromise everyones safety and ruin the day. And then I'll kick your arse. :homer:

You can see the orange sticker on The Bitch from her last session...

I am able to bring x1 spare helmet, if anyone needs to borrow it. Will look in garage for my old one, if I can find it will have x2.
Also bringing down a load of black/red/green electrical tape, forgot some last time I went on track and had to beg/borrow to tape lights up. :)
