Damn!

Was really looking forward to this. Had even taken leave for Saturday so that I could atend the briefing. I'm sure the organizers and more importantly the participants rom NAB must be quite disappointed.

Anyway, reconfirming for the 15th (if thats the new date)

If its 15th feb, Im in! GTO, Please do let us know asap.

you mean to say if we want to go out after 2pm on sunday we cant?

I don't think it will be a problem with individual cars, Navin. Delays at the most. However, for security reasons, the cops aren't ready to allow an event with a hundred participants.

Yup, we are all disappointed. But big deal, we'll still make it happen on the 15th which is, BTW, a day after Team-BHPs 5th Anniversary

the organizers bombay round table are calling up the participants and asking if 15th feb is fine with them .

i received a call some time ago.

Lets meet up then at 14th .

Heman · 7th February 2009, 01:20

Oops, hope we are not meeting on Fri 14th as early as 4.00 pm for the briefing

.

Might not able to make it on the 14th. BTW if we give it a miss, would it create a problem? Or can we attend the briefing session a little late say 6 or 7 pm?

Heman. 14th is a Saturday not a Friday so I dont think it should be a problem.

Opps, it was a Typo. What I meant was Sat the 14th, I might not be able to reach by 4 pm for briefing. Is it OK if I reach by 6 or 7 PM.

What exactly happens in the briefing, and if one misses it, does it create a problem?

@ Heman : Call the organisers. I am sure they'll be able to accomodate your request.
