South Midlands Monthly Meet - First Tuesday Eve of the Month

[Red Cabbage]

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

I'm not joining this thread until you lot have swept up!

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

[Red Cabbage]

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

Only 20 or so cars on this one.

That looks good to me !

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.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We need to find a dawn raid/breakfast run route that doesn't run the risk of losing your license for simply making some reasonably spirited progress.

North Wales?

If you want us all the way up there for dawn, you can sod off! A mid to late afternoon raid perhaps......

I believe they do have B&B's in Wales these days.

And a very good circuit at Ty Croes...






(Well, if you're going to do it, do it properly!!! )

I was thinking more about doing the Triangle and the valleys, before they all become 50mph with average speed cameras.

No stamina!! Wales is only a couple of hours away! Think of it as a late night excursion!

Just trying to accommodate those that need their beauty sleep.

tempted by joke about the crack of dawn but thinks better of it

I have found a broker/underwriter who claims to be able to cover 'ring TF/trackdays and UK trackdays for a price.

September is GO!

Good news. What "price"?!?

Not sure yet, it can be added to my policy.
The main thing is that they understand the status of the road in TF and the 3rd party risk.

Evo triangle anyone?
