UPDATE 30/9/24
Thanks for all your responses, I have now confirmed the dates
with Santa Pod, and requested a permit from NORA.
It will be a weekend event, with camping available on site. I
will be there from about 16:00 on Friday to set up the track.
All the usual activities, plus we will experiment with some
gymkhana type events as well. We will have lots of track time,
so if there is something else you would like to try (within
reason ;) )then let me know.
Entry fees will be £30 and £23 for additional drivers.
I will issue the regs and entry form in the next 24 hours.

What sort of gymkhana stuff do you mean Ian, I hear the word
gymkhana and it just takes me back to doing gymkhana on horses
in my childhood.
As much as I'd find it amusing doing 'apple bobbing' or a 'sack
race' whilst pushing our cyclekarts, I'm not sure some others
would agree 😂.
Although some of the others would possibly be transferable

UPDATE 8/10/24
The ticket list has now been submitted to Santa Pod. Pick up
your tickets on arrival as per the Entry Regs. They may be
grouped in an envelope with CYCLEKARTS or CKGB written on it, or
mixed in with all the other tickets (it all depends on what the
secretary does with them once they are printed off).
I will be there Friday afternoon to set the track up.
We will have lots of time and there are no general public to
entertain, consequently I am looking to experiment with some
Gymkhana style events during the afternoon of each day. These
are just some fun driving tests that we may add to our
activities when we are at some of the big shows.
I have a couple of ideas for tests, but it would be great if
some of you could also think up a test or two to try out ;D
We were watching the Gymkhana at the VSCC weekend and it looked
like it could be fun.
Your tickets will be valid all weekend, so whilst some of you
only plan to be there on one day, you can attend both days for
as long as you want and leave your cyclekarts overnight on the
Saturday if you wish

Well, thats the end of the CKGB 2024 Season :-\
Its been a blast and I hope you have all enjoyed it, I certainly
have (even when I put diesel in the fuel tanks of "Jane" and
"GNasher" at Shuttleworth ??? )
There may be a delay getting the formal report and gallery up on
the website, so I have attached a copy of the report as an
attachment to this post.
