People's brakes wouldnt last much over 5 laps anyhow.

Never know I might have a price or even better a finished set by then.

Well i can see a few of the names on the list are member who can usually make it to the leather bottle meet. So maybe there or somewhere local would be a good place for a meeting.

Will definately be good to have a mega meet and give a big thankyou to the founding members for all their hard work.

Good shout Ben.

Gazon69, can you make it to the Leather Bottle on the Surrey/Hampshire borders?

[gazon69]

  Just googled it, 400 mile round trip for me so depends when the meeting would take place.

^^^^
I'm not sure we would need to have a face-to-face meeting (nice as such meets are) in order to sort this out.

I dont mind the travelling, its just i have to get up for work at 3.30am so weekend would be best for me

Has anyone costed out how much Brunters would be to hire for the day on a weekend/weekday?

Last time I looked into it the cost was deep into the £thousands. Then there's the health and safety aspect to consider if running a high speed circuit/quarter mile area, with St John's Ambulance, possibly insurance indemnity etc. There are pitfalls to being an event organiser, so ensure you organisers are covered.

This will be a Mega meet, but costs need to be considered early and catered for before the event in my experience.

....This is exactly what I was suggesting would be the case when a trackday/hillclimb meet was being suggested earlier. I didn't know the score about Bruntingthorpe and assumed it might be different when DaveB suggested it.

I certainly want no part in any such health and safety and insurance responsibilities in helping to organise this meet. My intention is only to offer advice if I can. For personal financial reasons I am unable to contribute any money whatsoever wherever this event is organised.

Thanks for the heads-up, John!

Hmmmm i think john may have a point here. There are obviously going to be up front costs to cover but i for one centainly dont have 'thousands' to shell out. We may have to gave a re-think on thos one chaps. I did think about waiting until inters next year and put on a really good club stand, banners and all the trimmings. Would be way cheaper.

Iagree, maybe inters would be best. our clubstand is normally a bit pants so would b good to get a better stand going.

Guys

Let's just meet up somewhere centrally! Massive meet, find a pub with a massive car park. And then we have food, beer and cars.

What more could we want.

Problem solved

Like it 


And for those of us who want  a track day, maybe we can discuss a club trip to nurburgring and spa? 

[Rachael]

Oh yer,

Forgot about the important part.


We'll tag along to someone else's track day

....Agreed!  - That's what we did for the first big forum meet.

Using Inters wouldn't be special enough in my opinion.

[Rachael]

Hmmm any other places?!

If there's like 100 of us, we might be able to get cheap rates?!

I'm definitely keen for this
