Donington Park, GP Circuit OPL - Mon 18th July £117 BKCC Price, 10 Required NOW

[Krazyken]

Our friends at Focussed Events have just released another Donington Park GP open pit lane track day on the Full Grand Prix Circuit on Monday 18th July.  If we can get 10 members to put their names down in the next few days we can claim the BKCC 10% discount which means that we will all pay £117 each. 

We have until close of play on Wednesday 22nd June to secure this so BE QUICK and put your names down below.

[Daley Down Under]

YES please

[robp]

Yes please!  Great circuit.  Hope we get the numbers.

[robp]

+1.

Friend of mine, Jeff (now joined the forum as Stantman), wants to go too with his Westfield.

[Daley Down Under]

We're not going to get the discount this time - only a few spaces left.  I've booked direct

Adrian

[robp]

That happened last time.  Once the tickets ran out then suddenly there was a load more available (at a higher price!).  Hopefully we'll still get a good deal.

[Krazyken]

I have 10 places on hold with FE at £130 until tomorrow night so as long as we can get 10 our places are guaranteed at that price.

4 so far - any more anyone?

[David H]

I'll have one! just spotted the post.

[Krazyken]

Just to correct my last post I have 10 on hold at £130 less our 10% discount so that means £117 each if we can get the 10 required.  I have also opened it up to our friends at WSCC and BPMC to help get the numbers up as we only have 24 hours left to take the allocation.

[alastair]

  Im away then, which is rubbish because I'd love to go there.

[tickious]

so whats happening, do we have enough?

[Krazyken]

At the moment we have 4, will email the other clubs tonight and post again later.

Any more anyone?  At £117 for a full Grand Prix Circuit its an absolute bargain.

[Daley Down Under]

Ken,

I have not heard back from Gemma so dont know if I'm there or not.  Looks like you can add my name too.  I've got a £149 credit note with them.

Adrian

[Grin-a-lot]

If i'm not too late then count me in too.

Are we able to invite friends and their cars?  I've got a mate that lives in Portsmouth with an Exige and he may well be interested.

[tickious]

Cool, get him to stick his down as we need 10

[Krazyken]

Right, all sorted with Neil White the General Manager at Focused Events.  We still need 10 but the 7 that are down so far need to book at the agreed price of £117.00 with Focused Events ASAP.  To book please ring Focused Events on 0845 0267272 quoting Bristol Kit Car Club as agreed between Neil White and myself.

Unfortunately I am unable to go due to lack of annual leave so I need someone who is going to take charge of this thread and on the day.  As part of the BKCC deal the organiser gets a free pit garage so whoever steps forward to take charge of this will get a free pit garage worth £25 to fit 2 cars on the day.

We still need to fill the 10 so please spread the word to friends, neighbours fellow car clubs etc. I am still waiting to hear back from BPMC and WSCC but at this price it is a bargain for a circuit as good as this.

Please let me know who wants to take charge (did I mention there is a free pit garage to the organiser?) and round up the rest to make sure we have the 10 required.

[Grin-a-lot]

I don't mind being Dad for this one.

[Krazyken]

OK Grin, please can you PM me your real name and I will let Niel at FE know. 

Please can you and your mate book tomorrow, take charge of the rest and fill the other 3 places.  I will let you know when I get a response from the other clubs.  In the meantime feel free to open it up to others to fill the 10 places.

[Daley Down Under]

I already have a pit garage booked as part of my credit note.  I've got a mate coming from Bristol with his Clio 172 Cup.  Perhaps he could be another booking?

Adrian

[robp]

I have booked at the agreed price this morning.

My mate Adam will be coming too with his Caterham (and has booked).

[Grin-a-lot]

So as far as I can see we have:

Tickious
Dave H
RobP
RobP's Mate
Jeff Williams
Marlborocar
Marlborocar's Mate
Grin a lot
Grin a lots mate (TBC)

So we just need 1 or 2 more people?  Any takers out there?  It'll be fun!  Go on you know you want to...

[stantman]

I have booked today at the agreed price with teh very helpful Jemma.

If any one knows of a trailer I could borrow for teh day that would be great.

cheers 

[Daley Down Under]

Another of my friends has booked.  Just to confirm

MarlboroCar (Adrian Tillin - Spire GTR - garage already booked)
Mate 1 (Andrew Lowe - Clio 172)
Mate 2 (Steve Roberts - Spire GTR)

Just to confirm, this is Jeff Williams who is already on the list (not another new addition).

[tickious]

Just booked and paid for myself, David. Game on! 

[Grin-a-lot]

I booked this afternoon and the lady on the phone reckoned that there are about 12 from BKCC that have paid.  Thanks everyone for the quick payments; my reckoning is (in no particular order):

Tickious
Dave H
RobP
RobP's Mate (Adam)
Jeff Williams
Marlborocar
Marlborocar's Mate (Andrew)
Marlborocar's Mate (Steve)
Grin a lot
Stantman
Craig (WSCC)

At minimum its 11, at best its 12 now so all sorted and we're a go-er.  I'll have a think about timings/meetings in a couple of weeks, we can expect confirmations and details a week or 2 before the event.

My mate has not got back to me so I am assuming that he's not coming.  So if anyone wants the second space in my pit garage then its first come first served.

If anyone else wants to come it might not be too late, just give the company (Focussed Events) a call, quote the BKCC deal agreed with Neil White and hand over £117.

[Keaters1]

cheers ken but just on returning from france with cotswold lads may b next time

[Krazyken]

Happy to see that this is all now sorted and that you are all getting maximum value from your BKCC membership.

Yes please for the second place in the pit garage! 

P.S. Jeff Williams and Stantman are the same person

[tickious]

I asked about a garage, and the nice lady said that they'd put a few aside for us as part of the group booking. 

[David H]

booked. what we doing for hotels etc... Ken, same again?

Also will need garage space, is there any spare with the club?

[robp]

Garage?  You've got a tintop with a roof and heater.  Park outside. 

Sorry, forgot how heavy your car is.  You'll be changing brake pads every hour! 

[David H]

very good!!! 

nice and warm

[Grin-a-lot]

If people want to stay over the night before then we could attempt a group booking.  The other option is a convoy at rude-o-clock.  I think I'd prefer to stay over; any other takers or plans?

[robp]

We stayed at a nice B&B in Castle Donington last time we went.  Could stay the same place again although the drive was very steep=smokey clutch.

Remember, a few of us are bringing trailers so where ever we stay will need some room in the car park.

[David H]

Staying over the evening before was nice. I fancy that again

[Grin-a-lot]

So staying over:

Grin+1
RobP
Dave

Do you think the place you stayed last time will be ok for car park space etc?

Any other takers?

[Daley Down Under]

I've been in Oz for nearly 3 weeks so looking forward to a few days at home.  I'll travel up on the morning

Adrian

[tickious]

I'm up for getting there the evening before, what about here. Should be ok for carparking spaces http://www.premierinn.com/en/checkHotel/EASPTI/east-midlands-airport
