The MSA have sent us the following news. The bits in brackets in italics are just the assistant ed being enthusiastic and are nothing to do with the MSA.

The MSA has teamed up with the Go Motorsport-supported Silverstone MotorSport UK, an event showcasing national motor sport on 3-4 November, to offer MSA club members a £5 discount on the £15 ticket price.(Yes, that's a full FIVE of your English Pounds off the price!!! You heard it right!!!! Five pounds off!!!!! Or 33.33% - try getting that as a discount on your new Porsche!)

The show will feature displays from more than 100 exhibitors and visitors can sample the action first hand, either on the Stowe circuit with a Silverstone Driving Experience (at discounted rates if pre-booked by showgoers), or in the Go Motorsport kart challenge, where they can battle for a selection of prizes. There will also be race simulators and visitors can compete in a series of radio control races organised by the British Radio Control Association.

To claim the discount, members need simply to produce their MSA Competition/Officials Licence or club membership card when purchasing tickets on-the-door at Silverstone. (So don't forget your licence or club card!!)

(It sounds to me like a great show, the club's got a stand there so do come and say hello. Silverstone's not far, so you can have a look round, get some new kit, and still be back home at a decent hour! - Asst Ed)
