As last year we will be attending this event and having a MINI2 display. Unlike last year however all the racing isn't on one day over the Bank holiday. The dates are Sat 25 and Sun 26th June.

For this purpose please see the poll above. Just for interest the admission is £18 per adult for Sunday and £9 connsessions. Camping is £10 on the Saturday night. A 2 day ticket can be purchased for £22 if you fancy going both days. Tickets can be bought in advance here: http://www.castlecomberacingschool.co.uk/tickets/

UPDATE: I have confirmed with the venus that this event is still on - and it is - please can you reconfirm your attendance. I have also posted up some pics from last years event and the map of the entrance and parking areas we will use on the day.

Meeting up? I suggest we do the same as last year : We are intending to meet up at the Compass Inn, Tormarton just off the A46. As you come off the M4 (J18) take the A46 Stroud and then first immeadiate right. The compass is clearly visible from all directions. So far most people want to meet early - 7.45AM for 8 depart to the track. It's only a few miles from the Compass so will be there in time for the start of Practice at 8.30. This way we are guarenteed to get parked together.

per person.

Soop, i would have said yes, but im at INMM2005 that weekend along with quite a large group of MINI2ers (the usual JCC bunch), So i will have to miss this one.. shame last year was really good..

[dcfkan]

soop,

Can't make this one as we shall be over in Belgium doing INMM2005, soz, did not click re: date clash until I saw Loz's post! Don't think the date was on the original thread title though, but I could be wrong

DK :apple:

Will probably be coming down for this one if theres camping availiable at the track
(wich there should be for a two day meet) I would do both days.
Nothing like getting organised early eh or are you just missing the racing season as much as me?

Heres another link but not much on there yet ! http://www.britishf3gt.com/

[minisoopercooper]

Thanks for that Shaun. I'm pretty certain there is camping there.

I'll put you on the list for now and keep an eye open for updates on your link.

Think I fall into the organised early camp - trying to sort out the whole years diary

Last year I went to combe for the JCC and as it was a bank holiday I had struggled to get any were to stay. I just turned up at the gate on Saturday afternoon and plead ignorance they let me stay and I just bought a ticket in the morning. i would reccomend a walk into the vlliage to anyone overnighting although there is a bar on site.

[Fru_T_Bun]

Shaun,

How many are in your party?

I have a two bedroomed cottage (one room is full of in use Computer and DV Equipment though). So basically one double bed in the main bedroom and a big comfy sofa in the lounge. House is an old farmhand cottage and comes with resident ghost (apparently sits in the kitchen reading the paper - if you believe in that sort of thing - I always tell him to help himself to a beer out of the fridge if he wants one, or come and watch a DVD. So far no beer has gone awol, and neither have the hairs stood up on the back of my neck while waching a movie).

Its possible I can stay with the girlfriend (her parents are down that weekend, so not 100% sure there is room for me yet).

My gaff is in the village of Gastard (near Corsham) about 5 miles from Castle Combe. All going to plan, you can use my place instead of roughing it. At least you have a roof over your head and the more civilised use of the bathroom/bath/shower/kettle/kitchen/livvie/sky etc. Also the local boozer is 30 seconds walk from my front gate - will attempt to put a photo of my humble abode in the profile thingy, keep your eyes peeled.

Can firm arrangements up with you nearer the date if you are happy?

Any chance of a discounted ticket to offset the petrol costs of traveling all the way down
from Malmesbury . I'd like to be there assuming my TomTom3 doesn't get me lost
