I attended last year's Ace meet and the car park was rammed. I had my name down for this one, but five days before the event I had to message Martin to say I needed to pull out due to an appointment to deal with a university accommodation issue. I was deeply disappointed (and a tad embarrassed) to have to do that and having been involved with organising events with one of the BMW clubs in the past, I fully appreciate the work that goes into it.
My heart sank when I learnt of the actual turnout in the day, particularly as I had unwillingly contributed to it.
