Japday at Castle Combe rebranding & new date: Saturday 10th June

Post by Red Devil »

Just a quick heads up for those on here who attended in 2016.

The show has changed its name and moved to mid summer.

I have started the ball rolling on MR2OC - LINK.
Last year the clubs joined forces on a single pitch, so it makes sense to do the same again.
The sooner we can get a reliable indication of the total number the better.
Hopefully we can get a pitch nearer the paddock & trade stands this time.
The last two years out in the boondocks between Bobbies & Tower made for a very long walk!

It's early doors atm and I'm awaiting some further information from the organisers at Combe.
Will post an update when I have their response.

I have had a response from the organisers at Combe.

Anyone who definitely wants to be at this event please post up asap and I will send a PM with the booking info.
If you want track time you'll need to get a wriggle on as places are already going.
When booked and paid post again to confirm.

I'm going and so is Lukee but we're parking with the general public so we don't have to arrive at stupid o'clock in the morning.

Last chance saloon folks!

I have been asked by the orgainisers to tell them how many spaces we want.
So if you have already booked and paid I need to know asap please.
If you haven't and still wish to attend, you need to PM me pdq for the reference code!

The booking deadline is 28th May but I can't guarantee a place if you leave it that late... :roll:

Will be booking tonight for 2 cars. Myself and my dad. Even though my dad is not a member of any clubs (he doesnt do computers) he has an mr2 so would it be ok for him to come on the club stand?
I will also be booking a couple of track sessions probably around the morning or lunchtime and would be interested to know if anyone else is on track as be good to be on track same time as other mr2s.

Also posted on the fb pages to try and get a bit more response.
Im very surprised by the lack of responses this year.
Its a cheap show and even though it was called japday last year it was still a good turnout.

There's just so many shows now. It's great that the car scene is so active, but for me at least I just find myself feeling 'burnt out' when it comes to shows if I go to all of them. Combe is a long way for me so I will be giving this one a miss. Also, I need to get my turbo conversion done :lol:

No mate. Pm red devil (tony) for the club stand code.
