Karting

Well, those who have expressed a preference want to go for an enduro race; so far I have got:
Buckmore Park in Kent they do a 30min race for Â£50 but require a min if 18 people.
Rye House in Hertfordshire they do a 40min race (can have two drivers per kart if you want) for Â£75 and require a min of 10 karts. Plus there are some nice pubs next to the canal nearby.

Yes the rye House pub does great grub also the adjoining speedway circuit does great fish n chips

The additions are
13. the bigkung
14. Mr Awol
15&16 Emma206 & friend.

Not quite up to the minimum number for Buckmore Park, so I have just spoken to the people at Rye House. To allow for holidays and exams I asked about availability at the end of May. Unfortunately the track is closed from 19 to 29 May, but that is so it can be extended and resurfaced.
After that it is available on Friday 30 May for a 2 hr endurance race. This is for teams of 3 or 4 people per kart, we wouldnt have the track to ourselves, that doesnt bother me but others might prefer to keep it exclusive. (The others are groups of friends and a stag do). The cost for this is Â£150 per team.
Alternatively on Sunday 1 June we can have the track for a 40min race between ourselves (plus 15mins practice). Times available are 4 to 5pm or 5 to 6 pm. You can have 2 driver teams, or just be on your own, this is Â£75 per kart.
If we want one of these dates we need to act quickly to get it booked.
