Do you need to be accredited to join the session?

My understanding is that there will be two groups - one with more experienced riders and another for riders new(er) to the track.

AdeR

From the organiser 'This information regarding a track day on October 29 th is slightly fluid I am 99 % sure it will go ahead on that day . Between PDQ and ourselves and the Velodrome we are juggling timings to make it all fit . Watch out for the final details' I will keep updating here

It's great to hear that you've sorted an alternative date, Ade, but unfortunately this one clashes with my holiday plans, so I won't be able to help this time, I'm afraid.

I hope it all goes well.

Understood that the rescheduling was never going to fit in with everyone's plans
