2013 Events list

I thought it would be worth collating a list of events that will be happening next year.

Late Spring	"Pancake Run" (North Wales)
3rd-5th May	Donnington Historic
Mid May	Japfest (Wiltshire)
19th-21st July	Silverstone Classic
1st Sept	Thornfalcon Classic Car Meet (Taunton)

Please reply with any annual events / get togethers that are likely to happen. Dates if possible and I'll update the list.

I for one would like to attend some more events next year than the measly total of one I achieved this year so I probably need some forward planning!

Great idea Edd.

I had the same problem. I only attended Japfest and Thornfalcon this year. I tried to organise a few SW drives but no-one was interested, so I eventually gave up.

However, an event calender would certainly make it easier for members to decide which events they want to prioritise. Especially those in the SE of the country where most owners are based. I think Chris BN was going to post imminently regarding Japfest.


Cheers.

A weekend in late spring, date to be confirmed, pancakes and welsh mountains!
Stop over on a Friday and Saturday, travel home on Sunday.
Kare's brainwave.

Silverstone Classic date now set as 19th to 21st July 2013

I'll get the 2013 forum added soon so these can then all be added and built.

I dont know about a 'calender' but I'll check with the boss to see if theres anyway of keeping an home page item as quick reference point

Updated the post.

I must admit I rarely ever see the homepage as my links are straight to the forum.

Japfest 1 or Japfest 2 or both?
Japfest 1 is at CC again in May and have spoken to the organisers re the complaints / problems etc in accessing the ciruit last year. the response was that it will be better in 2013.
we could of course consider Japfest 2 at Donnington a little later in the year, where circuit access may be better.
Please post thoughts and comments.
Cheers Chris

I know us South West lot would have had no issues getting into the site if we had just gone straight there rather than trying to meet up with others.

Would be good to have our old location again as where we were too far out of the way.

I went to Japfest 2 when it was at Rockingham in 2010, it wasn't bad. Donnington would probably be pretty good.

Anyoen up for a European trip. I fancy a drive down the Stelvio pass in the summer (3 or 4 days)

When I get back from my state sponsered holiday to the sun.....yes AGAIN (Oct 12- Apr/May 13) I am thinking of organising something a bit further north for us Northern/Scotland/NI/Ireland owners. I do enjoy Japfest and Silverstone, but for once it would be nice to have something on home soil without the monumental drive.

PS that's if I get the work done to the car that needs doing, poor little thing has been so neglected this year.
