It might be late for some of the spring ones, but we would like to know how much interest there is for the events season this year.

obviously Biling but what else are people actually interested in going to?
Action days, pv, Trax, other stuff that we might not have noticed before.

if we get no feedback then it'll just be billing lol

Retro rides seemed to have a good response last year.

Stuart
11-02-15, 08:15 PM

I'm defo Pvs and billing and maybe Trax, total retro and retro rides.

Novasport
11-02-15, 08:47 PM
Billing is booked & Retro Rides is a definite. Pity we cannot still do the National Day at Rosliston, was a nice chilled out starter to the season.
Would like to do more different retro type shows this year. PVS is crap now imo, only good for mucho VXR'ness

Benn

Any/all action days at Combe - really good day out.

I really liked that too. Attendance dropped off the last time though, and last year there was little interest in it at all :(

Novasport
12-02-15, 02:35 PM
I think interest was killed a bit by offering another choice. If it had been set as an event then it would have happened.
Have we thought about joining up with another club for a National Day.

Already got my weekend ticket sorted for Retro Rides Gathering. Not sure if i'll make any others. Would rather use my free time/money on doing track days.

What he said! Billing and Retrorides also.

Stuart

Looks like the retro rides club stuff closed within minutes, and the event is in late august ffs.

Billing action days pos pvs I'm away when retro rides is on or I'd be there too

i also think beehive should return to the Callander next year possibly too short notice for this year but was a good laugh

Only thing that sold out in days is weekend tickets I believe. Have read they are limiting it to 25 cars this year.

edit. Looking on the main website and does say club stands are fully booked. I highly doubt this as they only went up on Wednesday. Pretty sure they just haven't updated the description from last year.

Be a shame if we can't do rr as a club. Good turn out last year on the Sunday.

Benn

Yeah, was about to say, that's been updated since I last looked.

I'll be there as usual, been the last 3 years but best to find a different club if you want to be in a group as PNG never have a stand, plus we don't have a regional Co ordinator either,

Jack
16-02-15, 12:12 PM
I thought it was Moffat? If you want it changed though we can look into it

Stuart
16-02-15, 12:23 PM
I've requested 15-20 stand passes for RRG. So thats a start lol

Stuart
16-02-15, 02:23 PM
20 RRG stand passes available. Please see the Events Booking forum

He hasn't been on for years except for a bit quite recently.

Scottcooper85

Looks like they've moved Trax forwards to July now so it's the week after billing

Benn
17-02-15, 10:32 PM
I'd have a go. I have a welder, a inclinometer, a pipe bender and dont like to fail/give up... Plus i'd love to space frame a Nova.

17-02-15, 10:43 PM

Pvs and billing for me

Stuart
18-02-15, 02:10 PM
Based on whats been said by folks thus far:

RRG: 6 (I think thats nearly the same as the number of folks wanting a stand pass there)
PVS: 4
Billlllling: 5
Trax : 2 (I think)
Total Retro: 2 (plus some on FB)
Viva Vauxhall : 4ish
Action Days: 4-5

Just need to do some more messing about before we decide what to do other than RRG, Billing and hopefully VV.

bazil
18-02-15, 08:38 PM
One of the small issues with Viva Vauxhall at Crail was being pulled up by the track officials for leaving the stand I was on to do a few runs on the 1/4 mile then returning to the stand, they were moaning about the grass being cut up :-/

The event has a great turn out tho and any car is welcome on the 1/4 as it's not an exclusive vauxhall day on the strip

Iain

Didn't realise you were counting the votes, I'm interested in attending Billing, PVS and RRG with PNG. The rest I wouldn't like to commit to

Stuart
19-02-15, 09:21 AM
I'm not counting the votes persay, its more a fact finding exercise to see what should be concentrated on :)

Looks like a good list, should be at most of them, Total Retro would have been a good kick off for the year...... i'm saying no more...

This would also be a good one to go to, Summer Maddness at Croft, Its a memorial event, track action and a good variety, only £8 early bird and £10 normal too.
