The Buggy GP (near Durham)

We've added an off-road GP meeting to the calendar which will take place on a superb 150ft x 100ft special track laid for the event.

There's lots going on at the meeting which is on 6th / 7th August at Lanchester Garden Centre (near Durham), so come along for a great weekend's racing and more!

Lots more information and booking in on the Central Booking site.

Booked in but would only let me enter 2wd !!!! what did i break this time ?

[Andyp]

+1 i could only book into one class also , i see Bill has booked into both so he maybe tell us how to do it ?

[Dalton]

Keith trying to fix it now, i entered into 4wd by clearing my browser history/cookies and the option appeared to book in again

[KeithA]

Apologies for the teething problems guys. It was all in my haste to try and get on-line booking up before the end of the week without checking with the experts first! You can now easily book in for both classes on the main booking in screen.

The meeting is being organised by Much-More UK and the Teesside club with some great support from CML Distribution and FTX.

It's a fantastic venue and will be a superb track so come along and enjoy some superb racing and maybe even recruit a few new members for the North East!

Thanks again,

Keith.

There's still a lot of work to do on the track over the coming weeks. At the moment it is a large hard standing concrete surface but will be partially (not all) covered with the artificial grass and jumps etc.

Thanks for booking in Chris. Will be a great weekend and nice to see booking in filling up quickly.

As for a permanent venue, there's a lot of question marks just now, but we'll see

If anyone plans to visit the Garden Centre to have a look around before the meeting, then to find the track area, go through the main entrance next to the food hall and coffee shop, go into the first poly tunnel and make you way outside again into the nursery and landscaped garden area. If you walk up the path then the track area is opposite where the birds of prey, owls and sheds, playhouses etc are.....you can't miss it.

We'll be pitting on the area next to the track and for those wanting to camp, this will be either in the field outside the main entrance or in the field next to the track. Caravans can park up towards the top of the large parking area.

The meeting is at 'Lanchester Nursery, Lanchester, Durham, DH7 0SS'. It's about 10 minutes off the A1 or A167, just off the A691 Durham to Consett Road. Directions here

Hi Bill,

Access is good Bill. We'll be able to load/unload right next to the track so won't have to walk through the main entrance/shop area with all the equipment.

Please note, this overhead picture was from several years ago before the current owner invested in the site!

The black outlined areas are proposed camping areas (still tbc which ones we use)

Looking good, Billy Ray!

Feeling good, Louis!
