    What to do in 2012 - your say.

    Hi all, this thread is your place to post up suggestions ideas and events for 2012 that you'd like to attend.

    So far I'm thinking along the lines of:

    Karting
    Cornwall drive out + BBQ
    Rolling road day
    Dartmoor drive out + BBQ
    Japfest
    Performance action days (westcountry events)
    Drag & drift at dekota race way.
    Winscombe hill climb/stock car racing
    Calendar photoshoot
    Christmas meal

    Feel free to make suggestions, they don't have to be motoring related

    I reckon a weekend camping event in Newquay area with a bbq and a trip to the St Eval karts would be pretty fun, I've been there before and it was awesome. They have a 1200m track and are getting new, faster karts this year too

    Yeah I thought Newquay might be a bit far to drive for an hour or 2 of karting, it is about 2 hours each way from me (I guess it is around the same for you Taunton lot) so camping makes sense Plus SXOC camping is awesome

    Camping is awesome although we don't have the gazebo or fire pit the west country lot used

    Camping trip sounds gd, as do the drive outs as i never had a running car for any of the nicer weather we had last year.

    Not really very south west but what about maybe teaming up with some members from Dorset and driving up the coast roads towards bournemouth and then meet up at somewhere like the new forest.

    Tried to get the Newquay camp/kart weekend idea going a couple of years ago, hopefully there will be more interest this time very keen, St.Eval is great, should wait till maybe April for temperature and Newquay busyness to both rise a bit maybe..

    Rolling road day a bit earlier this year maybe? as there is a void in things to do this time of year..

    Good old Route 38... maybe we should fire it up once every two months, in an attempt to get bigger numbers each time?

    There are 10 events on that list if we manage 75% of them we will have a awesome year. Shall we just get these confirmed, dates set and enjoy it?

    Yep. Was going to phone Aj's today but ran out of time. Will be tomorrow morning now

    The camping will have to be August time I imagine as the calender is pretty jammed during the summer. Anyone got any suitable locations, caravans or tents is also another question that needs to be asked Off peak in caravans could be a right laugh I'd imagine as well as cheap

    That was my thinking. You can get 3 bedroom caravans for not massive money which would be ideal in or around newquay. Could have a few drinks in the evening also in the warmth etc It's like posh camping

    On a side not it looks like the drag and drift days are out as the organiser has canceled all the events this year

    That is a shame but it is not the first time they have cancelled and started up again later.
    Hopefully they should be back at some stage.
