Japfest anyone? (now with a few pics & Video)

I was just wondering if anything was happening at Castle Combes Japfest this year.
It has been a year or two since anything happened, mk1 club wise, and I wondered if anyone had a plan.

Cheers

I think, but don't quote me, this is Peter Scatchard's area? as was added the list of dates in last Mk1 Club Mag, under his name, apologies if not?

As far as I remember (and it is going back a few years) is Peter organises the spring and autumn action days, but has nothing to do with Japfest itself.
The last time the mk1 club had a presence there, I think, I organised it.
I just wondered because now is the time to start thinking about it.

I know IMOC are going, and I think scott has booked a stand. If you fancy a joint venture it could cut costs for all and get a better turn out??

Yep - Peter dosen't do Japfest. As each ticket needs to be prebooked there wasn't any suffcient interest in 2007, so it wasn't booked. 2008 there wasn't an organiser.

It may be worth doing a stand if there is enough interest (uo to Debs etc), but i would not advise doing any of the track action, as there are too many drivers who are outright dangerous IMO

I'm hoping to go along to this. As I live in Bath it would be rude not to! Anyone else?

[spudgun]

I'm there Chris, I think I mentioned it before.

The MR2OC and IMOC are having a joint stand so all cars should be together, which is nice.
I'm a show car for the 'OC as well.

Hello Fella.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do now on Saturday. I have found out today that we have the worst club pitch imaginable. It's about 2 feet away from the general car park, down by quarry that also water logs at the first sign of rain.
If it looks like its going to be wet, I just won't bother going up and cut my loses.
A bloody shame, but I can't be doing with that.
