Japfest 2013, Castle Coombe - 11th May
 

Japfest is coming up on the 11th May 2013 so I thought I'd chuck a thread up for it!

For those of you who are a little unsure what it is, its a massive Jap car only gathering that takes place at Castle Coombe in Wiltshire. Surrey members have been there the last few years and its always been a good day out; loads of action of track and loads of stuff to look at in the paddock areas.

Official site with more details can be found here:

Steve PPP has told me there are no plans for an official SES stand, so I thought I would offer places on the Surrey Scoobies stand to any SES members who want to attend. Lupuss joined us last year, but if any of you fancy coming then please post up in this thread.

The plan is to draw up a list over the next couple of weeks and get our application for a stand in next month. Entry with the club is £20 per car, but you can bring up to four people per car at no extra charge. :doubleup:

Thanks for posting this up Steve.

There's just too much going on in May already for SES to put a stand together for this one - we've got the Supercar Siege on 18th May and then out to Germany the weekend after. But its good to post these sort of things up for those that have the time and/or can't make the other events already in May :ok:

I enjoyed the last two years there but will be stuck at work until at least a week after this unfortunately

I keep thinking of this or the Rally day but 2 things always put me off.
JapFest is always too close the ring trip to justify a 300 mile round trip and Rally Day always seems plagued by long queues.

No worries: you can't do everything, so happy to offer places for anyone who fancies going! :)

Thats a shame: was looking forward to seeing you lap everything on track again!

I'm up for this , just looked on the website and it says that all track time is sold out :splat:
Still is it ok to join the club stand?

Yes mate it will be fine

Yep, thats cool mate! Plan is to close the list at the end of the month, get everyones money by the middle of April and then submit the form for our stand. :doubleup:

Are you planning on going jap fest 2 aswell ?
Been looking up at The web site and seems to be a good day out.

I'm closing the list this week as the form needs to be in shortly, so need definate confirmation for anyone planning to come!

Would like to get to this one year but with the other may events its too much this year!

I know, its always the way once the show/race season starts!

Right, I see the closing date for clubs is looming, so I need to get on with this!

I will be collecting money this week with a view to submitting the form next week. I will be at the Surrey Scoobies monthly meet (at The Fairmile in Cobham) so I can take cash then: if you unable to make that then drop me a PM and I can give you Paypal/post details. http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru...n_thumbsup.gif

After the running round last year I won't be buying tickets for anyone who hasn't paid in advance, so please get your money to me ASAP! http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru...icon_smile.gif

Many thanks for getting the money to me today Charlie, will keep you informed when we're meeting up! :doubleup:

No problem was a good turn out Sunday
