Blyton AD10 - May 4th 2025!

[gs.davies]

How do you all feel about our current charity partner (MacMillan). I’m perfectly happy to listen to other suggestions, one recent suggestion was Race Against Dementia?

A cause that's close to my heart. Lost several family members to this and spent a bit of time fundraising for a local dementia charity when I did an unsupported cycle ride to Paris back in 2017.

Would get my vote.

Guessing we are a predominantly male group and a cause very close to my groin is Prostate Cancer UK but MacMillan is indeed a universal and worthy recipient.

Sue Ryder, do a great job https://www.sueryder.org/

Excellent news Pete, looking forward to it already.

If I can find a comfortable enough seat I might even bring a Mini

Any Cancer charity gets my vote Pete for obvious reasons, that said RAD is a great shout too…maybe both ?

Javelin are looking to confirm track prices shortly after the government dish out the pain in the Autumn budget on October 30th so we’ll have to wait until mid November before I can open up the booking page.

[Minigman]

I’ll be driving up from Devon, it’ll be the first mini meet for JTO since Goodwood 2019.

[Pete]

Fair to say the prices will be going up after today’s budget, as will all small businesses but will await confirmation from Colin.

[novavoyager]

this is great.

[Julian Harber]

Any progress on when Javelin will open bookings. All the charities mention are good ones to support Dementia has affected several people I know and research for this silent death would be welcomed. The talks in the past have been fantastic or some entertainment would be good

[Pete]

I have been chasing Colin at Javelin about this and hopefully we’ll have news soon.

[Pete]

Ok so Colin has got back to me with track prices and as expected they’ve gone up. So a full day is now £169 with a half day at £99, what do you think?

[Oneball]

Seems good value to me, but then I’m used to forking out £600 to drive round a concrete car park in Northamptonshire!

[Pete]

Haha. Well it’s only gone up a tenner so it could have been worse I suppose. I’m hoping to have the booking page open in the next week.

[Richspec]

is it going to be split over the two circuits again?

[Pete]

Yep two circuits so you get a choice of either or do both in the full day.

[Julian Harber]

Great to have both tracks and thanks Pete for all your work on this - look forward to having the booking line open

[Pete]

The booking line for our Blyton Park Action Day on May 4th for classic Minis or variants is NOW OPEN!!
£99 for a half day open pit track time either a.m (Outer Circuit) or p.m (Eastern Circuit) or £169 for the full day!

Usual camping availability (let’s hope we get the use of all the grass area!) and I’m planning some entertainment for Saturday evening in the clubhouse. More details to follow!

[63monte]

Excellent news Pete, full day booked. Looking forward to Saturday night entertainment confirmation.
Fingers crossed for decent weather for the grassed areas this year.

Hello,
Brilliant news that the Blyton event will continue, thanks to all involved.
My suggestion about the two deserving charities you mentioned would be to share between the two of them.
