View Full Version : Damn you all..KARTING It is then...04/08/01
Gridlock Mikey 13 July 2001, 00:08 Feel the fear and do it anyway,they say http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/confused.gif
OK then, neal, cheers for the tip.
I have spoken to Ian at Whilton mill and and found him to be a Thoroughly Nice Bloke http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
The ONLY slots that he has in August are as follows
04.08.01 09:00hrs
04.08.01 18:30hrs
Now I reckon that we should do the Morning thing, yeah sure it means some ov us have to get up early but that's life.
It also means that there is still the rest of the day after the event to do more stuff http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
The cost is £165 per team with a minimum billing of 8 teams. Ian recommends 4-6 people in a team.
Working on 8 teams of 4 (32 people) the cost will be £41.25
To secure the slot I will need a deposit from each of you ugly lot to the tune of £16.50 (40%) The rest will be payable by youselves on the day. If you pull out..TOUGH http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Have a look at the website
Just got to check with the Missus about the date, else count me and a mate 'IN' http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif. If you are short on people I might be able to round up a few people from the last session. They all seemed interested in going agin. We had a total of 13 teams on the day. I beleive the max is 16 teams! so if we are short let me know.
Do you also arrange Paint Balling ?
31 going on 13 at the moment.
Cheers
Neal
Lizzywizz 13 July 2001, 13:43 Mikey,
Only just caught up with the Karting thread - and I definitely wanna go - just need to find three mates.... hmmm... maybe oddjob, bigjob and mikeesingh (how about it lads?)- if they don't mind a (fast http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif)woman on their team! And if we're clubbing later, even better!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Sounds like a fun day all round!
I'm off to think about team names.......
Lizzy
Trouser 13 July 2001, 13:45 So Lizzy!!...

Cheers
Trouser
The Blade 13 July 2001, 14:19 The challenge is accepted.
Count me in for a team of four from Brum.
How do I get the deposit to you ?
The Blade 13 July 2001, 14:25 Just checked out the track and it looks excellent.
Also noticed they have a helipad - might give the Scooby the day off and use the Jet Ranger !!!
Hi Mikey

Cheers
Neal http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Trouser 13 July 2001, 15:12 Mikey.... you're not me mate anymore http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
Dad says I can't play out on Saturday Mornings http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
Hope you all have fun http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif (sniff, sniff)
......and all because he knew I would WHUP his ass!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif.......
boo hooo......it's not faaaair!!!
TR http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gifUSER
Gridlock Mikey 13 July 2001, 15:56 Soz Trouser http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif but the need of the many outweigh the need of the one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
OK then, payment of deposits http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Thought about cheques in the post and all that and came to the conclusion that this is the year 2001 and there is a slicker way of getting your money to the venue directly.
Trouser suggested this one (he's a corporate organising GOD) Here's how it works
1) Get ya team together and name them
2) Get £16.50/£41.25 off all of them
3) E-mail me your credit card details in 2 e-mails i.e 1st mail contains first half of the number, the 2nd mail has the rest of the number plus expiry dates etc (Security purposes http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif)
4) When I have everyones details, I speak to the card holder and confirm the amount to be debited from the card and also confirm attendance
5) I give the details to the venue who then action the transaction.
This gives the team the choice to pay in full if they wish or they can pay the deposit and settle up on the day.
Obviously from a logistics point of view, it would be nice to turn up at the venue, knowing that everyone had paid, however life ain't that simple is it http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
If you are nervous about sending me ya details..TRUST ME http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif It'll be fine
OK so only one team at present
BELLYS GOIN TA GET YA http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif
Keep them coming
MIKEY
The Blade 13 July 2001, 16:13 4 man team - "Team BANZAI"

MichelleWRX1994 16 July 2001, 19:02 I don't know how we got to drinking vodka, Mellow whipped out a half bottle of the stuff and we just added other drinks to it!!!!

In the Westie, my stomach was protesting a lot!!!!!!!! Held in by harness, there is no lee way to chunder out of the car so I bit my tongue and took deep breaths!!!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Michelle.
The Blade 16 July 2001, 22:33 Got to agree with NM, looks like all the regulars are running scared from the new boys!!!

Hi Mikey
Whats the latest figures on the Karting? I can try and dig up some none scooby teams from the last session if we are short on numbers.
Come on people get your teams in !!!
And remember 'brakes are for girls !!!!'
Neal http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Gridlock Mikey 18 July 2001, 16:53 To coin a phrase i learned today." Trying to organise karting is about as easy as juggling Water" http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
To right!
OK the latest number count is........3 http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
3 teams, 3 whole romping stomping teams, yep just 3 http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
On a positive note, i'll assume that the momentum will pick up suddenly and there will be a mad rush on the friday before the event (Please don't do that to me http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif)
1) Bellys gonna git ya
2) Team Banzai
3) Geezajob
