Tried and failed to organise this in the past. Be great if you could, but the price needs to be keen to ensure the attendance is good.

Dan may of spoken to u, I pm'd him re event's but have not heard anything back yet.

I'd certainly come along and have a look round as i was only holiday when Sumo did their open day, so not seen the place yet.

Not sure about a dyno run though, not much point for me at the moment!

Thanks Nige

I am very much up for this, just need to confirm a date with you lovely lot and I will make it happen.

Or if you can let me know roughly when you guys would like to get this done, I will make sure we have enough people here to keep the Dyno running.

You tell us the date and we will get a list running. This will include those that want to run on the RR and those that just want a nose around the facilities.

It would need to be a Sat or Sun and not clash with anything else. but we will be able to tell you that.

What about the 4-wheel alignment and SES providing on-site paintless dent removal as mentioned via PM.

I will get some dates together and send you a PM pal, Not to sure about the dent removal thing but the RR day or Geo is very possible. I will get back to you later on about it.

We can arrange the Dent guy, as we have a few we use regular. Just depends whether you will allow them on site bearing in mind you have a paintshop.

They will just be wandering around the car park with a bag of rods & hammers.

Not to sure I would be happy with a dent guy wandering around when we have a full bodyshop on site guys?

How does the 9th of July sound? It's a Saturday. If ok I will get it booked in and posted up asap

Kinda understand Dan, but a dent guy isn't going to be taking work away from a full on bodyshop as people are only after removal of light car park dings, which would never be done in a full bodyshop due to cost and the fact the last thing alot of us want is to get panels painted.

If you can confirm to me via PM the date, costs for the RR run and 4-Wheel laser alignment, I will then kick of a dedicated SES Event thread to gather numbers.

That is Sumo's biggest fault. They don't get back to you your dead right. This needs to change & Dan can change this & get us some very very good price's.
DAN Ive said this time & time again there's loads of local people who would spend there hard earned with Sumo/JRM given the chance.

whoa there! Fairly sure Lee says about some WorkShop work that someone didnt get back to him about.....this is a different office to me completely, the sales team is working very hard on getting back to people.
If anyone needs any more info/prices - even if it is workshop then drop me a PM or give me a call and I will make sure it happens.....Just for you guys

I never get back to you Nige because you are here 99% of the time anyway

In talks re : prices as there needs to be some movement to make this a viable SES event.

Awaiting Dan to get back to me before I post up and start a dedicated thread. For Dan's reference here's a previous RR day http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...surrey+rolling
