First meet up , Hankridge Arms. Taunton.TA1 2LR. 7pm Wednesday 26th April .

Could also be hosted at Builders workshops/garage. Long as there is a kettle ...or beer LOL.

Events / South/Southwest Builders Meeting at Haynes Museum / Cyclekart Event 29th Sept 2021
« on: 16 Sep 21, 08:54 pm »
Hi All ,  It was briefly talked about hosting a South/South west builders meeting earlier this year (July) in the Off Topic section of this forum, if you wanted it. 
As we (drivers/Cyclekart's) have a good number coming to Haynes , it makes sense to hold it there, as it's a full day event , starting at 10 - 5pm.   We can do an official  question and answer session after lunch in the restaurant if required. Plus feel free to ask questions anytime during the day.

Off Topic / Green, plastic Kart cover lost
« on: 31 Aug 21, 04:31 pm »
What a great time we all had at Grimsthorpe. Thank you all.
 These last two events are definitely going to be hard to beat or even match,  !! 
 
  Have just unloaded my van and put away all the gear.  Was wondering if anyone has picked up or saw a green plastic Tarp/Kart cover in a clear bag with spring clips in it .
Initially it went into Simon G's van to hide away any non period looking items , from the Vintage Garage/Pit Area, but he doesn't have it.

Was looking through some past Grimsthorpe Speed trial events, saw this these two little beauties.

Guess this is somewhat self indulgent for Peter L and myself .....and other A Seven single seater fans.

Hoping it's their next week.  :)

Looking forward to being there .  Great for CK GB  . Well done those behind the scenes for organising .

Definitely turning out to be a great year for us

« 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.
