    Venues

    Can you post ideas and suggestions of places the club could use for an event?

    We know Blyton Park, but there must be other places around the country we could use as well.

    Thanks

    Well that up to what each individual want to do Griff, I don't want to put restrictions on peoples choices so if your into driving then give us locations for that.
    Near me for example is Mallory Park, Curbrough sprint course, and Pro Drive private circuit.

    If the folk want a static show then list those, if you know of a good pub we could all meet at one weekend ....etc..etc....

    We have members all over the country not to mention abroad, it would be good if we had a local meet if practical for some people.
    Its better to have too many than nothing at all.... and I don't know the "local" places for the whole country, so lets hope people join in with ideas.

    Thanks

    If it wasn't the same weekend as the Kit Car Show, I'd suggest the Donington Historic Race Meeting.

    Suggest away Chris, thats what this thread is all about finding those spots that could be used but no one ever mentions till its too late.

    What about up near you, there must be some local attraction that folk could meet at?
    Its not like your short of good driving roads in your area.

    These ideas need not be already organised events, don't mind if they are mind, but as we are spread across the country we must have some members who are closer together than others.

    Look who lives near the Nottingham area, we may have more Stratos members in that surrounding area than anywhere else in the country.

    Eden Camp. That's up near Chris. Malton if I remember correctly.
    It's the best war themed museum I've ever been to (as you'd expect from Yorkshire.......). Loads of interest, loads of parking and you get to eat lunch in the Naffi at wartime prices (well, after you've done the exchange rate thing).

    Eden Camp about 5 miles from me, well worth a visit. Only a stones throw away from the North Yorkshire Moors with plenty of good roads and scenery. Chris J tried to get an event off the ground last year but it withered away due to a seemly lack off interest and problems with timing of the event.

    One location worth heading for is the Ravenhall Hotel at Ravenscar, plenty of parking, with panoramic views over Robin Hoods Bay from the dining room. They do a good carvery on a weekend.

    'Think the cost of accommodation was the big problem?

    Other venues near to us are:
    Yorkshire Air Museum Elvington is a sprint venue. The local residents stopped F1 cars being tested there, but maybe the latest ones are quiet enough now?
    National Railway Museum
    Craven Collection of Motorcycles
    Chris Birkbeck Rally School
    Olivers Mount the Yorkshire run would have done several laps, ... it's a public road!
