a complex costing structure for this event, but a full weekend
including camping and driving is expected to be about £60 to £70
£40 per driver and a reduced rate for one support person.
CKGB ACTIVITIES: In addition to the static display, activities
will probably include general practice, demonstration sessions,
pursuit racing, sprints, relay races and driving tests. The
second round of the World Championships will take place here
OTHER COMMENTS: There is a large camping area near to the CKGB
arena. Only CKGB event officials are to park next to the CKGB
Arena.
Those helping to set up the CKGB track can start arriving from
about 12:00 on the Friday.
Pre-printed entry tickets will be collected on arrival from the
ticket office.
This will be Santa Pods 60th anniversary, so it is expected that
this event will be bigger and better than ever ;D
Full-face helmets will be required for this event.
SITE PLAN:
To be issued.
ENTRY LIMITATIONS: Any limitations will depend on how many
members volunteer to be officials. However, it is hoped that we
can support approximately 30 entrants.

by posting a % probability of entry, which will allow the club
to gauge the amount of support required and finalise the entry
fees.

WOW, what a response :D
Many thanks to all those that have posted their probability of
entry for this event. Your responses greatly help with setting
the entry fee and defining the composition and size the support
team.
The size of the paddock and pit-lane currently limits the entry
size for this event. The next limitation is how quickly the
camping area fills up, resulting in some drivers camping a long
way from our arena.
I reckon we can cope with a maximum of 25 drivers, 30 at a push.
Consequently, this year if we are going to accept more than 25
drivers. I will be selecting the most viable persons from the
entry list and then asking them to volunteer to fill various
posts.
Once the entry size has been defined, the people on the list, in
list order, will be annotated as being "APPROVED" and then they
will be able to submit the entry form.
If an entry is not received within a reasonable amount of time,
then the next person on the list will be "APPROVED" ;D

SAFETY
The Live Action Arena that the CKGB activities will take place
on has a hard tarmac surface and rigid barriers and speeds of up
to 35mph are expected.
Consequently, please be aware that full-face helmets (with
visors or goggles) will be required for this event.
In addition, clothing made from reasonably abrasion resistant
material that covers the body to the wrists and ankles will also
be required together with strong gloves.
This will be detailed in the Event Regulations when they are
issued.

REQUEST FOR A CLERK OF COURSE
I am currently down as the Clerk of Course for this event, but
it would be great if one of our other Clerks could be the clerk
for this event. I am not looking for any of the Senior Clerks
to take this on, but one of our less experienced clerks, so that
they can gain some further experience.
Please note, a senior clerk would be working alongside them to
help them through the duties ;D

The club is subsidising this event, so the entry fee is great
value for money ;D
Furthermore, Tim W is planning various competitions for the
weekend, one of which will be the second CKGB round of the
Cyclekart World Championship.
There are still some places available, so please post if you
would like to join in on the fun ;D
