Apologies for the lateness of this post, am sure you're all aware of this meeting but not had a chance to post the 'official' details due to those pesky work commitments!

Also if enough turn up there may also be availability for Short Course/Stadium Trucks to run but without scoring points. More details here: http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95195

To be held at Plough Raceway off-road facility on Sunday 12 August 2012.

And finally don't forget this http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106415
there is an opportunity to hand forms/payment in at Plough on Sunday.

The Plough is a delightful, 16th-century country pub, which enjoys a quiet location set back from the main road, yet within easy reach of the main transport links. The quaint building is of a traditional, local style with very ornate, original window-panes. There is a well-maintained, private garden outside which is great for al fresco drinking and eating in the summer!!

Address: Leigh Road, Hildenborough, Nr. Tonbridge, Kent TN11 9AJ

Located directly on the B245, just a couple of miles northwest of the centre of Tonbridge

How to find the Plough pub: - If you are coming from Tonbridge, head for Hildenborough (B245). You will see Leigh & Penshurst signposted on the left hand side opposite the Flying Dutchman pub. Take this left turn (once on this road DO NOT take the first right signpost for Leigh), keep going straight ahead. Under railway bridge the road will narrow but keep going. The road can be a bit narrow and windy. There is a sharp bend to the right with another lane going straight signposted for the Powder Mills - follow the road to the right and shortly after this the Plough. The car park entrance is just before the pub.
If you're coming from north of Sevenoaks along A21, take exit off A21 for Sevenoaks and Hildenborough and head for Hildenborough (B245). You will eventually (about 2 or 3 miles down that road) see the Flying Dutchman on the left with a road off to the right signposted Leigh/Penshurst. NOTE: There is a road to the right before this one which is signposted for Leigh and Penshurst but please make sure you keep going until you see the Flying Dutchman.

Great day well done to Simon for running the meeting and for Steve for organising the track. And I opologise to anyone who had to jump duck and generally dodge my flying b44 down the main straight.

Loved it all day great track great racing.

You can't beat proper grass sooooo much better than that synthetic high grip stuff, which us Faversham boys just don't get enough practice on.

[brookie]

Hmmm.....so guess there will be at least one absentee this coming weekend then!
