I'm In Cheltenham and have the same sort of problem, nowehere to race proper cars midweek :'(
Unfortunately I have had to admit defeat on that and buy a snooring car (at least it's still a Kyosho) but can't bring myself to go to the club ... not yet anyway.
I can confirm Gloucester meet on a friday night but don't run buggies (not officially) and as their venue is smaller than some peoples lounges I can't say I blame them. The club is 5 miles from the M5 junct 11 (only 3.5 miles from my house but still can't seem to make it there).
I must admit that my first instinct was to buy a micro and give that a try, it's sort of a buggy after all. That was monumentally unsuccessful (4 months, didn't finish a single race due to electrical issues!!) and now have resigned myself to the fact that if I want to practice I have to go up to Hereford every other friday, just over a 100 mile round trip for a club night
