new club? b.b.c.?
 
Just fishing for thoughts at the moment so asking would there be any interest in a Bromsgrove buggy club once a fortnight maybe as not to clash with sxr in solihull middle of the week probably while its too cold an dark out what you folks think ?

bigt 05-12-2013 09:09 PM

So nobody else in Worcestershire /south Birmingham thinks we need a indoor club night less than fifty or sixty miles away :(

luniemiester 05-12-2013 10:13 PM

I'm north Birmingham but me and my lad might be interested as wasn't aware of any indoor buggy racing in the area ( never heard of a club in Solihull?)

bigt 05-12-2013 10:31 PM

Sxr is cool but in a tiny hall and hit an miss when they run lately there's nothin other than flat carpet I'm aware of anywhere remotely near a few of us went to Leominster last winter but they've stopped off road sadly

russmini 06-12-2013 12:32 AM

Bromsgrove would be cool, i might be up for that. Only 10 miles or depending on where exactly.

RogerM 06-12-2013 08:23 AM

Sounds like a great idea and much needed in the area. There is nothing running 1/10th buggy on rubber tires right the way down past bristol and up to north Birmingham.

I'd do my absolute best to support any club within a sensible drive of Cheltenham, such a shame that Calidicot is so far from me in terms of time, 50ish miles but would be at least 1.5hours down the A48 on a Friday afternoon.

Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Chris-S 06-12-2013 08:38 AM

Bromsgrove would be good. Sure some of the DXR & Risa lot would be interested as well, as a few of them also have 10th buggies now.

adam_u 06-12-2013 03:49 PM

Sounds good to me bigt!

bigt 06-12-2013 05:09 PM

Could be good bromsgroves pretty easy from most directions I'm gonna make the rounds an see whats available if we get enough folks speakin up

jasonrcb 06-12-2013 05:15 PM

We used to race years back at north worcestershire college,from what i remember that used to be a fair size so could be worth a look.

we also used to race at the ewe and lamb pub,now that was a great track and the venue was pretty good also:)

bigt 06-12-2013 05:24 PM

Ewe an lamb was just finishin as I got me first hyper7 the collage is on the list to check even gonna knock mark burtons door an see if he's missin racing enough yet I've not seen him for a while so a good excuse

bridgey 06-12-2013 05:38 PM

I'm up for a bit of racing Tim :) let us know if you need any help you've got my number

bigt 06-12-2013 07:05 PM

Cheers ryan you gone an got yourself a 1/10 then :woot:

adon30 06-12-2013 07:08 PM

I also remember racing at pitcher oak school in redditch and at a school in northfield.
Unfortunately a Friday night would not be possible at the moment for me but best of luck with getting something sorted. Maybe it will help get some of the youngsters involved in the sport that wouldn't normally consider the bigger Sunday meetings (or parents having to attend).

bigt 06-12-2013 07:22 PM

The only thing for sure is it won't be a friday thats for drink in the shires:drool:

Scheuee 07-12-2013 08:36 AM

God I remember the ewe and lamb, I use to go up there with my parents on wkend breaks, I loved going there because I would bring my bike and my rc car

Dozey83 07-12-2013 08:55 AM

I'd be up for that! I used to face tc over in Northfield, but no off road! Stick me down on your list bud! :-)

Ritchie T 08-12-2013 12:11 AM

Thinking nobody would want a monday so tues , weds or thurs ? Keen to hear peoples thoughts on that though and gonna get busy knockin doors an see what could be available

luniemiester 08-12-2013 05:48 AM

I think if you edit your opening post and then use the advanced edit option you can add in a poll so people can choose there preferred night.

Although a Wednesday sounds the most appealing to me lol

VintageRacer 08-12-2013 12:01 PM

Weds or Thurs night could be of interest to me and John.

bridgey 08-12-2013 04:51 PM

Wednesday night would be good for me

chuckie stella 08-12-2013 05:00 PM

I'll be in occasionally, Bromsgrove only hour away tops.
Wednesday or Thursday would be good, but not Fridays. We have a decent club locally on a Friday which I struggle to get to due to the Mrs Stella calling hard by Friday afternoon.

bigt 08-12-2013 05:32 PM

Jeez matt you'll have to get her a new rabbit keep her sweet
Lunie I ain't bright enough to figure the poll out I've only got me phone for this net malarkey maybe rodger can add one to the thread he started

bigt 09-12-2013 11:22 PM

Whoa holy crap a poll cheers col

tdi250 13-12-2013 02:22 PM

I'd certainly be interested in a buggy specific club instead of having to share the indoor season with gt12's and saloons on flat carpet all the time. Bromsgrove aint far.

B3buggy 18-01-2014 01:37 PM

There is something brewing at WorcesterMCC, keep any eye out on the website and fb group for news in the next week! :thumbsup:

RogerM 20-01-2014 12:36 PM

Glad to hear it is moving forward Ross, I'll be in touch mate :)

bigt 20-01-2014 01:32 PM

:woot::thumbsup::wtf:

RogerM 22-01-2014 12:39 PM

Anybody seen Ross lately????????

Come on matey, don't keep us in suspense!

WMCC Offroad Trial Night – Thursday 20th February

Following the popularity of the Micro's on Friday nights and the Kidderminster summer series, WorcesterMCC is pleased to announce the trialing of a dedicated offroad night.

The first night will be on Thursday 20th February, with the same timetable as Friday nights. Doors open at 7pm, racing starts at 7:45, 3 rounds and a final, doors close at 11pm.

Unfortunately due to hall availability it cannot become a weekly event. But if successful it will become a regular occurrence through the winter months. WorcesterMCC will need as much help and racers as possible to make this feasible, so if you can help with preparing the track and features or just attend it would be appreciated. Any suggestions or ideas please get it touch.

Classes: 1/10th 2wd, 1/10th 4wd & Micro’s

See you all on the 20th February!

RogerM 27-01-2014 12:38 PM

Awesome news!

Are you requesting that people put something on their shock towers to protect the valuable carpet from potential damage.

I'll help in anyway I can mate, shame the timings make it dificult for me to get there early enough to help with the track layout but I'll always help to put away.

What would be required to make it more regular, is it a numbers thing or just simply no room at the hall? Aren't they building a new one too though ... maybe, just maybe ;)

B3buggy 27-01-2014 01:05 PM

Hi Roger,
Re: Shock tower protectors, probably not for the first event. But if it becomes regular, then we should probably request there use.

Unfortunately the hall is not available any other days. Yes you are right the school is developing a new dance studio etc, hopefully this may free up some other time slots. If it goes further, we would block book, so everyone should know in advance.
TBF, I wouldn't want to run it in the summer, with the onroad on Fridays and the kiddy summer series, there is more than enough going on! Let alone all the other series and nationals.

Pass on the word, lets see if we can get a decent turnout :thumbsup:
I am working on the online booking-in, saves a bit of time on the night.

B3buggy 27-01-2014 09:27 PM

Online pre-booking in is now available.
