I've got no issue's with this.. Only problem is, is you have to leave early 11:30ish to catch a train home.

Unless 1 person from each area drives n don't drink?

We could look into a party boat up the thames, they are awesome!

I don't mind staying out, but I doubt many of us would/will... I duno I'm up for any sort of laugh and general get together of friends etc..

Failing that Mick could do drop off's in his taxi, after all we do let him come out with us for the day??? :p:laugh:

Markey Mark (BD)
20-11-2013, 18:30
Do they do an endurance race there?
I find these the best, split up in teams having about 3-4 people per team and then race for 2hrs

Mini le-mans style race

I've only just seen this... I am in.

I do agree with Car.Crash, a whole evening of karting is not ideal, especially if you want to go for a meal after.

Either do 30 or 40mins karting (should only cost a little more than the whole evening session) then a meal after OR just a meal, which will take half the night anyway. Just my opinion but I will attend whatever we do.

Dave Reed
21-11-2013, 11:56
The more I think about this, I think we'll be better doing either 1 Or the other as an evening isn't going to be enought time..

R5MJH
21-11-2013, 12:17
email back from crawley says it they dont run the 3 for 2 in december on a friday, so if we want this it will be SATURDAY only and 3x15 mins with 15 min break between so if you started at 19.00 we would be done by 9pm easy

R5MJH
21-11-2013, 12:25
justed checked f1k

http://www.f1k.co.uk/tracks/east-london

think this is good option thinking now

wednesday 18 december, 19.00

2x30 with 30 min break

for £40 pp

be finished by 9pm easy

edit tracks flat and we need 12 to have complete track

flat track gives me more a chance :laugh::laugh:

21-11-2013, 17:08
So an hours karting for £40 isn't bad at all. By the time were done / changed...and shuffled over to a curry house it'll be best part of half 9, I don't mind what goes on. Maybe 1 or the other sounds a better plan.
I've got room on my fireplace for another medal mind :p

21-11-2013, 17:23

Romil Davda
22-11-2013, 23:02
How about just keeping this to a curry night (with drinks), this will get the numbers up?

Good work on the karting tho, might be just for the hardcore! Maybe do a separate karting night?

I cannot do the 17th Dec :rolleyes:
