I have just spoken to a guy who is organising a charity day,in aid of a childrens cancer ward at Southampton general,at Goodwood on the 30th November.
Apart from the normal track goers like me he is trying to make it a day for everyone.
There are rides in cars that can be booked and trips in a helicopter too.
I will leave the trackday details to Robins own post but think this a worthy day to get a group together for a stand and hopefully raise plenty of money for a worthy cause.
Those coming to the meet on Monday let me know what you think,and I am sure there will be plenty of interest from the other areas that are not a million miles from Goodwood.

Cheers Paul.

Im not sure theyll let me on site at goodwood since i re-arranged the tyre walls ;) and my teg :(

But I may be keen.

Paul,

Me and the muppet will probably be up for this. :D Is the 30th a sunday?

Rach

Hi Rach.
No it is a Saturday.
Cheers Paul.

Hi Paul,

Should still be ok - don't think he's mud plugging might be working though. If he is I should still be able to make it.

See you Monday.

Rach

We should be able to make this Paul but will need to check our calendar first as November's a busy month for birthdays!!! :)

Hi Guys

Thanks for your interest in the Charity Track Event at Goodwood on 30th November in aid of the Southampton Children's Cancer ward Piam Brown.

The aim of the day is two fold:-
1. Directly raise finds for the Piam Brown Children's cancer ward by cars taking part in the track day plus taking paying punters around as passengers - a bit of a cheek, but attendee's are being asked to pay the full summer rate (£169), this is to boost the funds raised!!. The only "entry charge" being asked on the day will be a donation to the charity for pit side access. (parking etc will be free).
2. Provide a day out for up to 20, 10 to 18 year olds from the ward currently undergoing treatment. This will be via rides around the circuit / paddock plus allowing them to "see behind the scenes" of Goodwood etc.

The day will centre on a track day format, entry can be booked (if you are thinking of taking part - "0n Track") via the Easytrack website (www.easytrack.co.uk) where you will find it is being publicised and covered on the forum.

The only charges being incurred are those for the track hire as Easytrack are sponsoring the day. This means we have an opportunity to raise some serious dosh!!

A big plus for us is that FlyMagic (www.flymagic.co.uk) will be attending from 10.30 to 15.30 with a JetRanger Helicopter and Challenger flight simulator. In addition to offering discounted flights they will be making a contribution to the charity plus taking a limited number of the teenagers from the ward "up".
Normal cost for a 5min flight is £35 (see website) they will be doing them for £25 for adults & £20 for under 16's on the day - not a bad deal me thinks!

We will also have a display from the ward and an opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for their draw which will be taking place the following day.

During the day we will be holding a "Pit Stop" wheel change challenge with prizes and Auction of goodies plus model car racing.

Easytrack days are normally fairly laid back affairs with lots of regulars taking part. The aim here is for everyone to have a fun day, to brighten up the lives of a number of young cancer sufferers and to raise much needed funds for the ward. (details of ward / charity can be mailed out if required).

Any support you can give is really appreciated. More than happy to speak to you guys about giving this a Southern area Subaru "bent". As such I will be attending the area meet on Monday.

If you require further info or questions answered on the day please Email me on sloth.racing@virgin.net (and yes I am slow on the track thus the mail address!).

I have very personal reasons for supporting this day and the ward so you help is particularly appreciated.

Regards

Robin

Robin - I wanted to put a little bit on the Hants Scoobies webpages about this, is it ok to put your e-mail address on as a contact?

Thanks

Jen

I've put the info on there now (no point in wasting any time eh? :)) Let me know if anything needs adding/changing or you want your e-mail address removed... jenny.mawer@eastleigh.gov.uk

Hi all

Thanks Jen, much appreciated!

If people want further details I am more than happy to be contacted via the forum / Email (sloth racing@virgin.net) -or anyother way they can grab me!&*. I will hopefully be confirming further details this week and will keep you all posted.

See some of you at Paul's meet tomorrow....

Cheers

Robin

I'll be down to watch, may even drag some of the Sussex lot with me:)

I have booked my track time now so all I will need is 4 of you who fancy a tour round Goodwood!
I know Rachel was stupid enough,I mean brave,to ask if I would take her on the track next time I was out!!!!!
See you all tomorrow.
Cheers Paul.

Sounds like a good day. Will come to this I think, shame can't afford the track time though!

Tim

Good to see you guy's at the meet!

Really appreciate the interest being shown in the Goodwood charity event.

Driving or not we will be very pleased to see you all.

Will post further details once final confirmations pop in.

Cheers

Robin

Paul

Please add me to the list of display cars (modified silver Wagon). Very keen to support this as my daughter Ami (now 14) had ovarian cancer when she was six. She survived thanks to specialist cancer treatment at Great Ormond Street and the Royal Alexandra Childrens Hospital in Brighton. Hopefully will bring her along on the day.

Keith

No problem Keith.
Robin is going to find out how much room and where we can parked.
I will let everyone know meeting times and places when I know myself!

Cheers Paul.

Excellent news :)

Bttt.

Paul, def coming, can you provisionaly save me a space if we are to park together. Not 100% certain I will be in the Scoob as a mate wants to take 2 cars & I might have to drive the TVR if its got a new engine in time. You will probably hear it about 5 miles from the circuit as all the baffles have disapeared from the exhaust "somehow" !!! You should of heard it through the tunnels going into Italy, cars ahead of us were brakeing as they did not know what the f*ck was coming.
Its not going on the track, I think Robin just wants it for people to look at

[Edited by Stuart J - 11/16/2002 8:45:50 AM]

TVR?! :eek: BRING THE TVR!!!! :D:D:D:cool::D:D:D

....I'll definatly admire it! Took me about 2 hours to leave the TVR stand at the Motorshow! :D

Jen

No problem Stuart.
A quick update. RSOC are interested and I will know in the week how many are coming. A fifties car club which a friend of mine is in hopes to drag along some US muscle car's including a couple of hot rods!!!
The SIDC banner will be there so we need some sort of structure to put it on. I think Jen was going to help with this.

Cheers Paul.

Paul

Still got lots of stand stuff from the Dolomite Sprint Register days, including banner support poles, which I will happily bring if you can't source alternatives. Let me know.

Keith

Sounds good - how big is this banner? Let me know if you guys need me to sort anything out, but that sounds a whole lot more proffessional than what I had in mind! :D

Jen

We've got a gazebo thing we could bring so if it is raining we can huddle under it - if thats anygood??

Paul, the more I think of going out on the track with you the more I'm losing my bottle - much to Marks amusement!! I'm going to see if my mate will bring his Clio V6 so we can all show him what a proper car should be like :D:D
Now where IS that life insurance policy?;)

Rach

Hi Keith.
What a small world we live in,I too was a member of the DSR!
Bring along what you have got I am sure it will be of use.

I never thought you would lose your bottle Rach :D
It is not that bad.The guy I took out at Castle Combe thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jen. The banner is the same one that we had in the hedge at Castle Combe :D

Cheers Paul.

I remember the one...we've got a little Gazebo too, so I'll stick that in the boot. We can bodge a banner thing with the little concrete feet and poles if Keith has any problems bringing the real one :)

Jen

Thanks Guys

Please see new posting ref details of day

Robin

(P.S. I can spell Goodwood really!)

Sounds like a good day. - If the weather is okay, I'll bring the plane, if anyone fancies a ride (on a fuel-sharing cost basis) let me know.:-)
