Southerly and South West; Builders meeting
« on: 23 Jul 21, 05:38 pm »
As we are gaining new members all the time and some of you are based in the South/South west, Would you be interested in  a meet up /general chat; about builds in progress/ future builds/ finished Ck (for those that have), New venues to try  etc.
I can bring my Austin along if it helps .

This was really on the back of Wed 21st July Trackday meet at Castle Combe Kart circuit, near Chippenham. We had several local very interested visitors , which was great , good to meet you guys. 
Plus other New members on this forum (living in the South/South west) this year have asked the question  are any events local to them .
This meeting or meetings would be open to all members , of course .

We do have another CycleKart event coming up , in the South; Brooklands August 7th Saturday, Plus in the South west; Haynes Museum Karting Circuit, Sparkford.  (end Sept, beginning of October) date TBC shortly.

I am based 15 miles from Taunton , (towards the coast) Between Chard/ Ilminster.

I am impressed by you picking up the ball in this way. Credit to you IMHO.
We must avoid torturing our brains with false problems, it occupies but it can annoy. In jest!

It sounds like a good idea, I would be interested to drop in to any meets in the SW, I am a fair way away up in Worcester, but it's only about an hour and a half to Taunton.

Don't move your centre of meeting for me, I have a daughter down in Weston, and thus a bed for the night,  and frequently run down to Taunton for Model Railway  group meet ups.

Hi Chris,
I've only just picked up on this - put me down to attend whenever it suits - good idea.

Hi Steve ,  Yes i think i need to Re-post this under "Events".  It's easy to miss under "Off topic".

Do you know Ben Gyde , he is about 15 miles from you in Burnham . Posts on Facebook,  Think he has just built a Bentley.
Would be good if we could get him to come,  with it.

Just had a thought .....yes I know it's painful  ;D......  Why don't we make the Haynes Museum event Sept 29th, a Builders meet too. As it's located in the South West . We are there all day 10 - 5. Time to chat . Lunch in there excellent restuarant.  Plenty of finished CKart's .

Haynes meeting sounds a good opportunity.
I don’t know Ben, but look forward to meeting him and other ‘South Westerers’.

Well there's one on the Northern border that's in its infancy, though sadly I don't think I will be able to get down for the meet, but I shall try.

Great inspiration car. Looks like your well into your build.
Is that a reversing gearbox I see and electric start too?
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished car.
