Williams Martini Racing visit
of Formula 1 racing and have been for many years. I not only love to watch
the races, but I also like all the engineering and technical aspects that go
on in the background.
During a recent visit to the UK I was very lucky to be invited to visit the
Williams Martini Racing factory at Grove, Oxfordshire. Actually, a very good
friend of ours has recently started work there and he gave us the OK for the
visit. As such we were able to go into areas that are normally off limits to
the general public.
It was fascinating to watch the engineers in the chassis build area. Four
chassis were being worked on and were in various stages of build.
Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any pictures, strict security
being in place. The one thing that really impressed me was the cleanliness,
not a hint of dirt or oil on the floor anywhere.
So, many thanks to Rodrigo for getting us in there and if JM or Lee ever
want to visit, well it's grovel time guys.

Three Peaks Challenge!
So I will start with a little background. My younger sister Ellie has been very interested in basketball since she was five years old. At six she was signed up to a local basketball club, Redditch Basketball, run by Dave Bradshaw in our local area, he accepted Ellie joining the team however she was much younger and smaller than anyone else. This didn’t stop Ellie she worked hard and attended many training sessions and games, to begin with she may only have played a few minutes when it came to match days, as you can imagine as a little female six year old she was playing with older boys who towered over her. But it didn’t take long before basketball became much more than fun. ..
