Apprentice Motorsport Team (AMT)

12/06/2012

Hello chaps, as some of you maybe aware I have now moved over to adult training for Audi.

I will still try to help out the AMT where possible but your first point of contact here at the NLC should be Mike Davies or Mike Hamilton. If any one has any questions, ideas etc please speak to Daniel Wierny as he's the team manager.

As Dan has said the next event now will be Goodwood. For the guys who attended last year they will remember the problems we face and overcome. Let's make this year even more successful and less stressful.

We need to push for the spares kit & tyres as these are a must....

Speak to you guys and girls soon,

Darren

Northamptonshire, NN17 5AF

08/12/2011

The weekend is nearly here, Please note that there will be a small charge for the scout hut but this will still be cheaper than any local B&B, Please see below for more info, address and how to get there,

The Scout Centre address is Woodcroft Scout Centre, London Road, Kettering NN15 6NQ. The Scout Centre lies at the back of the main London Road. As you come down the hill out of Kettering (A43 London Road) you will come to a mini roundabout and disused petrol station and you turn left into the housing estate and immediately right into the Scout Centre. There is a good fish and chip shop within 2 minute walk of Scout Centre and several better eating places a mile away. Please note that we will pass a pint mug round to all the tables at breakfast to support the Scouts –I think we raised an extra £40 for the scouts last year. The event does pay for the accommodation for the marshals, there will be a nominal charge for your guys (But this will be small)

30/11/2011

Check your emails people...
Update about accommodation for the next event, we can get free accommodation at a scout hut for Friday and Saturday but I need to know names and numbers ASAP..

Massive well done and congratulations to all the guys at this years graduation. Well deserved after all the hard work you have put in over the past three years. Hope you all had a fantastic day and it was a shame I couldn't of been there to see you guys graduate...

Big thanks to Mat Creed and Dan Hannon for supporting the rally car, hope you guys also had a great day..well done.

The AMT will continue to run next year if you guys want it to. With the departure of some of the guys who helped run the team back at the NLC that leaves a lot of work left for me to do. The Brand has said they will give us a budget to work with next year so we will have money to spend on tools, equipment, tyres, spares etc.

We will be holding an AMT meeting at some point in January where you will all be invited to the NLC to discuss the AMT plans for the next year.

As some of you will already know this budget will only be availble to the team if you guys manage the team between you.

12/11/2011

following the meeting we had on Friday with Kevin and Derek we are unable to attend next weeks event due there not being enough position available.

So the next event 20th November is off. Sorry for the late notice and if any of you guys have had to book time off work etc..

Well done to all the guys who helped prep the car last week and sort the trailer out.

We will need two people to help support the car at this years graduation. 24th November. If you would like to be apart of it please let me know.
