Rather than start a new thread for each monthly meet I thought it would be better if there was one rolling monthly meet thread instead. That way if you bookmark or post on this thread you will always receive updates. We can then just add details of each meet as it closer to the time.


Monthly meets are on the first Tuesday of the month at the Falcon Inn just outside Hatton. http://thefalconathatton.com

Meeting start times are usually somewhere between 7pm-8pm depending on the weather and who can get out of work on time.

All PHers welcome you don't need a supercar to come along, but if you do have one then you are especially welcome!

Edited to update new venue for 2015

Are you likely to be free May or June for a trackday at Bedford Autodrome?

Should be. June would be better as May is looking very busy at work and at home, but I'm struggling to find any events there other than Bank-Hol Monday (very tricky as we're staying with friends Sunday night) and a Novice Day in June (which a few of us wouldn't be able to go on...).

Have you seen anything else?


My only concern is very few track-day websites say how many cars are permitted on the day - I've done days at Donny where it's been a 60-car limit with 40-some attendees and it's been glorious, and a day at Donny where they had 80 cars there and it was permanently rammed on-track and not much fun at all...we'd need to check that before we book anything, I'd suggest a maximum of 25 cars per mile of circuit.

Depends if you and interested people can get half a day off to do a track evening.

It all depends really.

A full day will be much better value but there don't seem to be many good dates.

I've been out this weekend and been shocked at just how widespread these 50mph limits are in Warwickshire.

The Southam to Banbury road A423 is part of the Breakfast Run Triangle and is now 50 mph all the way to the Oxon border. frown

50mph is pityfully slow even in our diesel estate especially on a road like A423 that doesn't have heavy traffic or a poor accident record.

And in the Times today they're reporting how a trial will commence in London of GPS-based speed-limiters - cars so-equipped CANNOT exceed the posted limit!

That thin-end is getting fatter each year...

And I have the joys of the 50mph speed limit everyday no matter which direction I take out of the lane grumpy

Bad enough in the diesel Audi but even worse in the Chim that has a strong dislike for sitting at 50mph.

The A41 (Solihull to Warwick) has signs proposing a new limit all along it frown

So does the A452 thru Balsall Common to Warwick frown
