Advance tickets only chap.

We are not allowed to sell on the gates (rules of the venue).

If you want to come please make sure you have bought yours in advance or we will have to turn you away (which will suck).

After a particularly traumatic month with the S8, where the cambelt, waterpump and oil cooler housing had to be done and £1800 leaving my bank to pay the associated bills, I started looking around for something simple that I could fix myself... http://distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com/9e547984e9a011...
