    Re: North West meets

    I have been a bit slack arranging the old events of late I must admit!

    Sooo is it a rolling road day at Pete's place that people fancy? I can always arrange this. As Russ mentioned - we would definately need a certain amount of cars going on the rollers as he wasn't too pleased last time.

    Or...

    How about a bit of Karting action in Deeside? I went with a few lads/lasses from work last year and I had a brilliant day. I'd have to look into the cost and how you'd have to pay etc but again I can arrange this if people are interested.

    Let me know what you guy's fancy and I'll get on the case.

    I remember years ago lomo doing a carting day, that was great. not done deeside so up for that too. I think we could have both if the organisation was split between a couple of guys - not fair to ask you to do both alex

    Re: North West meets

    I remember that day myself - excellent day out as you say Scoff!

    To be fair It's not too bad getting the events arranged and organised etc, but if anyone else fancies giving me a hand I'd of course be grateful.

    I'll make some enquiries with Pete and also look into the karting situation and post back...

    think you will find that was me mate.

    not an easy thing to do as you need to book well in advanced and pay 50% at the same time. well that was for warrington.

    the big one at warrington is ment to be good if you get the two add on's

    Oh yes I forgot about that one!

    As far as I know it's an outdoor track and is supposed to be really good.

    As soon as I get a chance I'll make some enquiries.

    Greetings all! Long time no speak! Yep, it is a circuit but I heard you need your own kart to go in it! All rather pip pip tally hoe and all that malarky...So I heard anyway..I'll have a better look/word when I get chance. I need to defend my title anyways! Defo need a meeting this way, been way to long...

    Re: North West meets

    I've just had a chat with The Circuit in Deeside and (as Russ posted) it's £35 per head for the Grand Prix. Each driver is guarenteed a minimum of 5 races and it's £35 deposit (which I can pay if we have enough numbers/people interested) The rest of the money is payable on the day.

    http://www.thecircuit.co.uk/index.htm

    Having been myself last summer I'd say it's well worth it

    So what do we think?

    Re: North West meets

    Regardless of how many drivers there are it's 1 x £35 deposit, which as mentioned, I'll pay.

    Then when you lot turn up you pay your £35 and that's it.

    Ive been on the vauxhalls track and its better than any other ive seen, deeside is like a kids ride at the fair compared to it. its a great place and £15 for 10 mins not sure about grand prix days or anything. the only downside is that they dont have timing equip or lap counters, they just flag the winner and thats not completely accurate, espeacially after a few people spinning off it gets a lil messy. so much fun though. ive been 3 times now and would recomend it highly.
