BOOKING LINE NOW BACK UP & RUNNING!

You can book your places by following the links below.

https://mk1-performance-conversions.co. ... n-day5.htm

If you booked yesterday before the web site crash, but have not received confirmation of your place from Javelin, then I would strongly suggest you contact them direct to confirm that the place you booked does actually exist. You can contact Javelin direct by emailing them here

Currently the Javelin Website seems to be up & down more regularly than a whore's knickers.

I'm afraid that there is nothing we can do about it, all I can say is please bear with them & don't loose heart, I am sure that all bookings will go through soon.

Mark & Pete.

Places are still booking up very fast with all slots, full day, morning & pm all proving popular.

I would strongly suggest that if you do want a place on this years event you get a place booked now. I can't see there being any places left by the end of the week.

Regards,

Yes there's a normally a few select trade stands and people selling off bits and bobs.
Not a huge amount but normally high quality, not boxes of random tat from stripped later model minis.

Caution ;) may contain 8 Ports, Xe's and VTec's, I don't do standard!

Keep an eye on the For Sale section of the forum a few weeks before the event.
Lots of parts usually get listed for collection at Blyton.

Traders wise, we will have our usual stand, Nick Rogers and ADO16 Equipment are normally there as well with stands.

Hi Mark,

I've had a look at the possibility of booking for this, but it seems it's fully booked on the Javelin site. I was just wondering if it's possible to attend without having track time booked?

Apologies in advance if this is a silly question... :)

Cheers, Ed.

Hi Ed,

Yes, everyone is welcome. Only about 10% or less of our visitors actually have track time booked.

Entrance is free, but we take a collection at the gate for Macmillan Cancer care.

See you there,

Aha! Brilliant, thanks Mark, I wasn't sure.

I'm hoping we can attend (if I ever solve the ignition problem on Tweed..), and very much look forward to it . I've been watching various videos on YouTube of the track time and am definitely interested in getting on track in future, but coming along to simply spectate and soak up the atmosphere would be nearly as much fun I'm sure! :D
