Right guys i have been thinking ( dangerous i know!) but i think if you have a helemt then please bring it with you to Germini.

as i am a member on ringers.org we have been discussing it and it really isn't worth not having one esp seeing some of the horrendus accidents this year already. Ie car cut in half by armaco.

So I think this year we should all take them and all wear them even on parade laps. I will try to get hold of a spare should anyone need one.

Please bear this in mind as my thoughts are for everyones safety on this trip.

Cheers

Visions of everyone donning a tin foil alien helmet springs to mind.

On a serious note please take Dev's advice, life isn't a practice run. Whether or not you drive carefully there is always someone out there that doesn't.
