I'd be very interested in doing that.... how much are these sessions, please?
(I'm a member of MSRVS, if that makes a difference )

This is a hobby. I sincerely hope there are NO charges made to allow anyone interested to have a drive of a model.
As one who regularly lets, indeed encourages, others to drive, or in the case of smaller children, steer while I walk alongside and drive, I would NEVER dream of charging.
Besides which, by charging likely insurance would likely become more complex.
Naomi, get yourself over here and you can drive any of our engines as much as you like !

My insurance actually specifically says I can have fare paying passengers

I hear what you are saying, but some organisations do charge for driver experiences, so I'd have hated to assume it would be free... even a small fee wouldn't be unreasonable, just to cover coal costs etc.... but if there is a price to pay, I wanted to make sure I had the cash on me.... and if it is free, then that will be brilliant.....

and thank you for your kind offer.... I do hope our paths will cross, one day! x

The normal thing at Tewkesbury is for a donation in the weekend charity bucket. Also a road run around the caravan site next door with the buckets rattling.
As a member you will probably get plenty of ride/drive offers, in and out of the arena for nowt.
See you there!

Thank you Les, and Grum, that is fantastic.... I'd be more than happy to put some money in the pot!

If you sell polo shirts - I'd be interested in purchasing one, too....

Look forward to meeting the team! Not sure whether I'm coming up on the Saturday or Sunday yet......! Not decided!
