What would be the best way, ask to have a full org group, or book 20-30 spots divided on the 3 groups?

Oh and another thing, to have a bbq and a cold one the evening before, I'm guessing that a sunday trackday would be best, drive up/down/across on the saturday and spend the night at the track?? Or would people take the friday off??

+1 Cadwell !! Wouldnt you be best booking a whole org group? Surely peeps on here would show a bit of respect on track even if there were different abilities in the same group

The main thing will be getting people to commit, wave some money about, so the financial commitment doesnt land on one person.

Is it worth giving someone a call like msv, telling them what your planning, possibly fixing a date at the weekend in the future and then seeing what take up is?

Id be in on a sv
brother charlie13 could be talked into it
nutsaboutbikes jamie's easily led
fallout, gixer, likes to come up north and drink my beer
as does theidlebiker, another gixer
dobbo, not on her, but has an sv needs to get out

Spot on, and Cadwell's a brilliant track even if you haven't a clue where you are going, which is most of the time if you haven't been there before!

Some people are clearly going to be faster than the average, but there is no reason whey they can't also book themselves into another group as well if they really need their fix.

The camping is an excellent idea, you need to check with Cadwell because some circuits won't let people stay on site overnight. Also see what facilities they have, there are circuits with simple catering facilities and if you tell them you've 30 people staying overnight they may lay on an evening meal and breakfast for you....

All it needs is for someone to take the bull by the horns so to speak and name a date. People will either try and make it or they won't. With something this size I can tell you from experience it's not worth offering several options and seeing which one most can make, it just becomes incredibly complicated. Just pick a date with plenty of notice and try and avoid the traditional holiday season.

Looking forward to it already......

Edit:, sorry I meant to ask if I missed the bit that explained why we are waiting until 2017...... Lets have a dry run this year!

Because I can't commit to it this year
Anyone feel like they want to give it a go this year is welcome to it.

And seeing that it's already March, most trackdays dates should be booked and could even have people booked in all groups, so a org group only group could be a no-go.

People commit when they book, it's pay to play, like it used to be(last uk trackday I did was in 2009)?
