"The event
The programme will include film shows and talks by people who knew Clark well or worked with him.

The film shows will cover Clark's exploits at Indianapolis, including his race-winning year of 1965, his races in the Tasman series, which took place in Australia and New Zealand and other rare, never-seen-before footage, as well as some of his more famous Formula 1 races.

The talk session will feature special guests Bob Dance, Jim Endruweit and Dick Scammell - all former mechanics who worked with Clark at Team Lotus - and Ian Scott Watson, who was a big influence on Clark's early career.

Peter Darley, who was the official Team Lotus photographer during Clark's time there, will be showing some slides of Clark during the talk session and adding his own comments.

The day will finish with a three-course dinner, where you will be able to mingle and dine with the guest speakers and like-minded enthusiasts. "

"The event
The programme will include film shows and talks by people who knew or worked with Jim Clark and a Gala Dinner, where you will be able to dine and mingle with guest speakers and like-minded enthusiasts.

Film and talk sessions
The film shows will cover Clark's exploits at Indianapolis, including his race-winning year of 1965, his races in the Tasman series, which took place in Australia and New Zealand and other rare, never-seen-before footage, as well as some of his more famous Formula 1 races.

The talk session will feature special guests Bob Dance and Jim Endruweit - both former mechanics who worked extensively with Clark at Team Lotus in the Formula 1, Formula 2, Indy and saloon car sections - and Ian Scott Watson, Clark's mentor who was a big influence on his early career.

It will also feature a special guest in the form of Sir John Whitmore, who shared a Lotus Elite at the Le Mans 24 hour race with Jim and got to know him very well during the 1960s.

Additionally, Peter Darley will be showing some slides of Clark during the talk session and adding his own comments.

Dick Scammell, who had initially planned to attend as one of our guest speakers, is now unable to make it.

We hope you will agree that we have secured a superb line-up of speakers and are planning to add more names to the list, so please keep checking back on the site.

Gala Dinner
The day will finish with a superb three-course Gala Dinner in the Green Room of Eynsham Hall.

During the evening, our guest speakers will circulate among the tables to that you have an opportunity to chat to them and ask anything you may have forgotten to put to them in the Q&A session!

Between courses, one of our guest speakers will talk about their memories of Jim, Colin Chapman and Lotus and propose a toast in Jim's honour.

Dress code for the dinner is formal, a dinner jacket or jacket and tie"
