Andy has done another fantastic poster for the event. Please share.

Things are moving along well with the organisation of this event. We are trying to capture a vintage atmosphere and there will be vintage Motorsport banners, bunting, festoon lights which should be great for photos of karts and drivers. (Please wear your vintage kit so you look the part). Anyone who wants to be involved please let me know either as a Marshall/helper or driver. Btw drivers need to be a club member and have a Nora license. This is going to be an incredible weekend and the best fun with a bloody good bunch of people. We're looking forward to seeing you there.

Great cause Jim, are you going to be sorting out a just giving page for this event for those of us who unfortunately can't make it 😭

Cheers Jim, The pub is doing the charity side of things but I will look into the just giving thing.
 Here is a link to their website gallery so you guys can see the aerial view of the pub and field.

hi Ian, glad you're coming along. It will be best to book Sunday Lunch with the pub, I am going to hang on because if the weather is going to be sunny and warm(I'm sure it will) there will be a BBQ also. I will be looking closely at the weather just before the event and should know by the Wednesday before if the pub needs to get BBQ shopping in. I will be reserving a roast on the wed evening if it looks like rain.

It was great to see some CKers' yesterday at Silverstone and have a chat about the S&G charity grand prix. Thanks to those who volunteered to make some trophy's for races. They're going to be pretty wacky by the sound of it. Things are coming along with new ideas for fun things to do with a CK and the scene setting accessories to give the track a truly vintage look. The working party day is starting to become more party and less working, judging by some of the conversations yesterday, which is nice. So folks get your karts done, get your club membership and Nora and join us for possibly the greatest day of your life.(ok the last part might be over selling it a bit)

We have a new rule regarding tyres on the day. Moto-X tyres won't be permitted as they'll tear up the ground and give an unfair advantage on the other drivers. Basically the tyre tread blocks need to be quite a bit bigger than the gaps between. Sorry about this folks but we have had a chat and this is favoured opinion.

I have a few 2.50 tyres if you’re interested £25 for two and I am only in Northampton or can post at cost 👍
