This first post of this topic will be updated as and when information is received or becomes available. 

DATE:  27th to 29th June
VENUE:  Santa Pod Raceway near Rushden
STATUS:  Endorsed 

DESCRIPTION:  Static display and dynamic activities (general practice, sprints, pursuit racing and driving tests) on our own tarmac arena.  We will be part of a headlining vintage themed event that includes historic drag action on the drag strip, drag racers static display, fairground, trade stalls, live music, beer and cider festival, etc.
Last year we had very little notice of this event and so attendance was just an experiment.  This year it will be a major event for us, and our arena will have much more of a vintage appearance.

Hi all, is anyone else interested in this event, as I need to set the entry fees for this soon?

Its a great headlining event with lots going on all around the venue, all weekend including the evenings.

We have our own tarmac live-action arena to play on and there are lots of activities planned, including team events and gymkhana style tests in addition to the usual sprints and pursuit racing.

If you would like to join those of us already planning to go, please post your probability of attendance  ;D

EVENT REGULATIONS AND ENTRY FORM HAVE BEEN ISSUED

The above documents are now available as attachments to the heading post of this topic (remember to log in to see them).
Ticketing for Santa Pod events are a tad complicated, consequently there is a wide variety of prices on the entry form.

Because it is a large headlining event there are entry fees for additional persons.  However, each driver is allowed one support crew at a reduced rate.  Therefore, some drivers may be on their own and some may have more than one accompanying person.  If this is the case, then maybe second and even third accompanying persons could be listed as accompanying those attending on their own.  I will be too busy to manage this, so please post a request on here if you have more than one accompanying person.
