monkey3 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I know a few of us spoke about this a few months ago at the last bluewater meet (when we all got kicked out), well I've made some inquiries and basically, we can have a meet there. There is a small clause, nothing to worry about, but due to the Kentagon not being open for everyday use we have to make sure that we spend a minimum of £250 (no payment up front). They are willing to give us a trial run and based on the profits they make depends on if we are eligible to come back for future meets. Dates available are: Tuesday 23rd September Tuesday 30th September Wednesday 1st October – A novis track day is taking place at Brands Hatch, £99 for a half day and £199 for full day. The fto forum are also very interested and I have someone posting this on the 350z forum as well. Is anyone interested in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hummm. I'm pretty interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Good going there mate. Once we get a date sorted ill post up at some other clubs. I'm on holiday till end of this month then can only do week day evenings or weekends. Keep us updated mate. Posted via Mobile Device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Anyone favour any dates? I was thinking either the 30th Sep or the 1st Oct as it's far enough away to get some interest. Also, the fact that other people are there on the 1st might bolster the bar sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 was a good turn out at the last BW meet and was an interesting crowd so I would be up for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Shall I say the 1st Oct then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Only problem is that if you do it during the week a lot of people are either working or can't travel the distance as they have work next day etc. Any possibility to do at the week end? That way you will get a better turn out. Posted via Mobile Device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I did think that, but other than actually going to an event, every day is now fully booked until Sunday 16th November now. And even then, that date isn't shown on their calendar yet, so even that date could be out. We could make it a weekend, but then we'd all have to pay for entry to an event. It's normally £12 to get in, unless it's for the Truck Superprix (which is £17 in advance) or the BTCC (which is £22 in advance). I'm just not entirely sure everyone will want to pay that much for a car meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Has to be a weekend for me or I cant make it, not worried about a few quid to get in etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Don't know that many people will be able to do daytime during the week, and as supra_surj said, not sure many people could go in the evening... We can do a weekend, and these are the choices... These are the website prices, but I can ask about getting us a group discount if there are enough people... (from this and the other forums) Not sure the bike meets would be a good idea... Sat 20 Sep/ Sun 21 Sep HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship £22 Sat 27 Sep/ Sun 28 Sep BMCRC Bike Championship £10 Sat 4 Oct/ Sun 5 Oct Classic Bike Championships £10 Fri 10 Oct/ Sun 12 Oct Bennetts British Superbike Championship £10 Sat 18 Oct/ Sun 19 Oct Formula Ford Festival £10 - SupraPod Sat 25 Oct/ Sun 26 Oct Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy £10 Sat 1 Nov/ Sun 2 Nov Truck Superprix £16 Sat 15 Nov Britcar 'Into the Night' Race £10 Give me dates people...

supra_surj Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Any more advance on this? What dates do people prefer? Posted via Mobile Device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Unfortunately, this seems to have died a death... Not sure Brands Hatch is such a great place to have a weekend meet. Anyone think of anywhere else we could go? "The Moat" in Wrotham has quite a big car park and is not that far from Brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_surj Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 We spoke about lakeside services before as they wont mind us parking up, easy access and tunnel run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 We spoke about lakeside services before as they wont mind us parking up, easy access and tunnel run Lakeside might not be a bad idea... not sure how great the tunnels would be on a weekend afternoon. Definitely an option though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Lakeside sounds like an idea. Maybe arrange a drive somewhere after also, Hit a few tunnels, Or even just the dartford tunnel, Thinking about it, If we meet at lakeside, We would be on the wrong side of the tunnel so would only be going over the bridge. Could find a nice place in kent to meet, Then all go via the tunnel somewhere in essex ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) The fto forum are meeting on the 25th Sep at the wharf at cross ways: http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/pubs/pubs.php/wharf_dartford It's only a short distance to the tunnels and is quite a nice place. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mr&ie=UTF8&ll=51.453011,0.254137&spn=0.000998,0.001886&t=h&z=19 Edited September 15, 2008 by monkey3 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We could all just park next to the Toll gates on the M25. No one would even notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ha Ha, I guessed that. At 1st I thought maybe you ment the layby area near the toll's. The tolls are a night mare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
