    Being able to organise the unoficcial Fireblade 20th Anniversary Trackday would be minter. lets do it!

    Chaps.

    Ive spoken to Jo at easytrack, she is keen to get this going, there are several possibilities.

    We have some spaces reserved for us on a normal TD

    OR

    We could have an entire 'fireblade day' with any left over spaces sold on to the general public.

    They intend to release dates this week, and Jo has emailed MSV for dates at the relevant circuits we are interested in, Jo also mentioned that Easytrack would be interested in offering permanent forum discount, and are in discussion with myself & Rob about this.

    As for dates/circuits at the minute

    silverstone are cutting down dates for td and have pushed prices up so easytrack are not dealing with them.

    They have plenty of midweek dates at cadwell, but at my request will look at the possibility of monday/friday dates, as all weekends from 1st april are booked for race weekends at most msv circuits.

    They are still talking to Donington events about 2012 dates

    Mallory could be another, depends on overnight parking and facilities inside circuit, as by all accounts they have banned overnight gatherings & functions, even in the car park.

    So, do we think a 'Fireblade 20th Anniversary' friday date at cadwell or mallory mid april early may with bbq following is a good idea?

    Obviously, there is a long way to go on this, its quite easy for us to block reserve some spaces but a lot more work to organise one just for us from scratch, something im happy to do as the fireblade name deserves it.

    something we do need to do, and i will be doing, is starting a new thread on numbers. we would need at least 45 from here depending on other forums.

    Megawatt, could you possibly start a thread on the other 2 forums about this, drum up some numbers. if we could get 90 in total we are laughing!

    Will do mate, yer doin a great job! I enjoyed Cadwell , but it's not easy to get to for me. Personally I would prefer Mallory, haven't done it, or Donnington, both central for most people. Cost is a big factor for me which is why I kept pushing RAF Odiham, £20 annual membership, £60 all day??? Odiham is near Farnham, off the M3???

    A big part for me is the social aspect, few beers & a laugh afterwards or night before, mallory & donington are not allowing this in 2012, so that wouldnt happen, but as ive said to matt, this isnt about me its about everybody, and if no ones bothered about the social side of things then it isnt an issue.

    once Easytrack confirm any possible extra dates we can look at what everyone wants. having been to raf odiham td's before it just doesnt blow your mind.

    anyway, as i say ill leave it to the masses, but theres always gonna be the issue of people not wanting to travel too far...personally id be happy with mallory, donny, cadwell but i also like the before & after bits.

    OK mate, you're leading on this and I'll help all I can. Have posted on the other two Blade Forum just now. I am as interested in a piss up /barby/curry before or after as the trackday!
