There are 3 ways of booking:-

1. Book and pay on-line. It is secure, you will get priority over all other methods & there’s nothing to post. Read the following notes as you scroll down to the HOW TO BOOK paragraph etc were you will also find the Trackday Booking Button at the bottom.

2. Book on-line, but send payment by cheque.(Sorry but this payment facility has now closed) Slower, but you will still get priority over those who don’t book on-line. We will hold your booking for 5 working days whilst waiting for your cheque. If your cheque doesn’t arrive in that time, your booking may be reallocated if there is someone else waiting in reserve.

3. Book & pay by post. It’s the slowest method as you are relying totally on the postal service.  If you are reading this, you must have internet access, so why not use our on-line service to make sure your booking arrives before your session is full. Read the following notes as you scroll down to the HOW TO BOOK paragraph.

which you should read before booking!

Please read all the information as you scroll down the page to the “HOW TO BOOK” paragraph. If you are booking on-line, but intend sending a cheque, please also read the paragraph in red, but be aware that we shall only hold your provisional booking for 5 working days whilst waiting for your cheque. If you are booking entirely by post, please be aware that those who book on-line will get a priority booking service, and will have their booking confirmed within 48 hours.

IMPORTANT NOTICE for those who elect to pay by cheque (this facility will only be open for a very limited time).

To ensure we receive your cheque as quickly as our postal service will allow, please ensure that you put the correct postage on your envelope as any envelope bigger than C5 (162mm x 229mm and over 5mm thick), is classed as a large item and requires additional postage. If you underpay your postage fee, the Royal Mail will impose an additional charge / handling fee which will seriously delay your mail and could result in your booking being unsuccessful if your preferred group is full. Don’t be disappointed, ensure that you use the correct postage!

Please do not send your cheque by any method which requires a signature upon delivery as your booking is almost certain to be delayed. To avoid problems, why not use our secure on-line booking system, and pay-on line too?
