Curborough

[Prof Beard]

Membership of the S&DCC, who run the Curborough Sprint Course is open now for the year.

See: http://www.curborough.co.uk/sdccmship.htm

It gets you and a guest into all public meetings free and is cheap. Myself and some other PHers are members and it's a great venue - small and friendly and (normally) easy to park. There some really good events on:

NOTE: this is an expression of enthusiasm - not an advert - I just want some more of the Midlands PHers to go so I can meet them!

I'm glad you've posted this, it's reminded me to renew my sums.

Presumably the current economic crisis has put the Kibosh on the proposed developments for a very long time?

I'd forgotten about this!!!

Membership pending as the entry list for Loton Park gets less interesting year by year.

Anyway. I still owe Prof a tenner......

We (members of the 106 Rallye Register) held a trackday there last year, just before it closed for winter, it was a great day (my first trackday) and everyone had a cracking time. We're hoping to organise a few more so I could let you guys know if you fancy popping down, or even coming on track, it was only about £30 each for a 9-5 open pit lane. Great little circuit

Please do, I'll bring my smart along.

Do they do trackdays there then? It's just up the a38 from me

If you join can you still hire the venue privately ?

If so how much is it now for a weekday

I used to go regularly with a mate of a mate.

I think it worked out about £35ea for 10 or so cars.

You've got no excuse then, see you on the 22nd March. Club sprint, it will be a full entry.

PS I'm in Burton too.

My renewed membership and guest cards came today

Shame they didn't put a stamp on the envelope

[sploosh]

I thought all the Curborough events were free to spectators anyway?..... maybe I've just been lucky!

(gladly pay to keep the venue open)

I like the idea of a trackday.... anyone going to sort this out?

I'm in.

Quite a number of the "big" events - VSCC, AMOC etc - do charge £5 or more.
