The idea of a munch at a Superbike race meet has come up, and seems to have sparked some interest, so I thought I'd better stop my hijacking (sorry) and put the feelers out properly in a new thread.
The basic idea is a mass picnic while watching people fall off bikes. It could be a one day thing (races are mostly on Sunday, a few are bank holiday mondays), or an entire weekend.
For now, I just want to gauge the level of interest and see which venue would suit the most people.
Here is the provisional BSB calendar for next year:
March 26 – 28* Brands Hatch, KENT
April 8 - 10 Thruxton, HAMPSHIRE
April 22 - 24 Mallory Park, LEICESTERSHIRE
April 30–May 2* Oulton Park, CHESHIRE
May 13 – 15 Knockhill, FIFE
June 3 - 5 VENUE TO BE CONFIRMED
June 24 – 26 VENUE TO BE CONFIRMED
July 8 – 10 Snetterton, NORFOLK
July 22 – 24 Oulton Park, CHESHIRE
August 12 – 14 Silverstone, NORTHANTS
August 27 – 29* Cadwell Park, LINCS
Sept 9 - 11 Brands Hatch, KENT
Sept 23 - 25 Donington Park, EAST MIDS
* Denotes Bank Holiday
You don't have to be a petrol head, it's a great day out whether you know anything about bikes or not, and all the circuits have loads of hotels nearby.
If you're interested, state your preferred venue, and if enough people are up for it, I'll put my organiser hat on.

PS - I think the unannounced venues are most likely to be Mondello Park, near Dublin, and Croft, North Yorks
Updated 8th Nov: Dates in red pretty much ruled out to avoid possible clashes with other major site events.
Hi Ice as stated previously Brands Hatch on the Indy circuit is good not sure which of the 2 dates is indy??
But with enough notice i'm willing to go to most circuits
Please count me in
This sounds interesting, for us either the Norfolk or Lincs ones would be best. Alos as they are in the summer the weekend should be better for a big picnic.

P.S. It's ok Blue, I've PM'd Satin and told him not to come and look so you are ok now. :twisted:
Go for Silverstone, as it's so close to my home.

Ice Pie! i salute you sir i think that's a bloody fantastic idea!
i have no idea how much these things cost, but seeing as how i'd have a whole 6 months to save, you could deffo count me in on that one!
neil x x x ;)
Im not fussed any excuse for a ride out really
Sounds good,but would depend on the date for us.
That sounds like a good idea - we'd prefer the Brands Hatch one - closest to us - but we coud probably be persuaded for another one, lol!
im ok with anything in the midlands, sounds like a cracking event to me sign me up
I'd be up for it :!: :!: :!:
Can I suggest Oulton Park which is surrounded by woodlands for some extra- vehicular activities!
HUH??? i'm sure this was in the cafe last time i looked!!!!
hi
good idea
as we are bikers and a munch as well yummie hehehe
Donnington park
cadwell park
in the summer would be best for us

ice mate... it is a brilliant idea... never been to the superbikes but i have been to the touring cars and it is an absolutly blast......
the other idea for the petrolheads is that if anyone from the cardiff area wants to arrange a munch for the same day as the speedway GP i would certainly do that.....
but i would definatly come to any... my preferred would be croft..which is my closest... but one in the middle of the country would be nice... mallory park would be good!!

That could be a nice idea Blue, as Warwick has already mentioned his kids, and my son is bike mad too, we could make this one to bring them along to for a change?
