I think it should change from meet to meet. Sometimes north, sometimes midlands, and sometimes south. Gives a chance for other people to make it to the meet.

I drive up to Brum from Bournemouth to meet the family (like I did at the last meet) and unless you do silly speeds, it's quite easy to get bored and tired.

I reckon in the summer, you guys should come down south to sunny Bournemouth, or even Sandbanks!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Arr no problem only been once few years back.

Think we need to find a big open airfield hehe

How about we try and hire -  http://www.curborough.co.uk/

Im not sure if they still do it but a few years back we had an Integra meet there, it was around £15 each (about 15 Cars)
they just give you the keys to the gate and you ahve the track for the day,  it might be different now.

Great little sprint track for 1 car at a time  :happy2:

Have a chat with them Rob. I tried this route a few months back with the Prodrive circuit just outside Warwick. Prices started at £325 per car  :surprised:

just found this -

Thank you for your enquiry.

Curborough is available for private hire in the week for ten cars a day to use the full course, and for car clubs on weekday or Saturday afternoons to use the "top loop" for up to 35 cars for non-competitive laps.

Cost for the above is for the first, £450and the second £650.

If you just want a social meeting, there are events every weekend which you can visit as a group - see the website for the calendar.

If you want further information please contact me again

Its certainly something to think about, theres no pressure as we can do everything at our own pace,

Its only a small sprint track but great for one car at a time, makes a change from just standing looking at the cars.

There was no marshalls etc last time i went hey just give you the keys to the gate and a small tea room and you can help yourself to the track.

One lap done in 32 seconds haha -


Old school Peugeot meet there -


Cant get this to work >>

its not fair saying "further south" when the conversation has just been between southerns!! i think the last meet area is about right, i like robs idea aswell with the sprint track,

end of january sounds good, shall we say SATURDAY 26TH JANUARY?? now if we have a date set we can concentrate on a good venue  :happy2:
