Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hot on the heels of Mike's Essex and Suffolk event, I can announce the provisional date for the Warwickshire Winter 12 Car is 26th February - "A Wintery Wootton Wander"The exact start and finish locations will be a few miles apart, but in the region of Leamington Spa and Warwick, just off the M40.You will need Landranger Map 151, Stratford-Upon-Avon. This is a completely new area compared to our last 12 car rally, so new roads and navigation challenges!As usual at the start of the event we will be providing a light breakfast, but given the time of year, we will hope to provide some hot food, and of course coffee and tea will be provided in the entry fee. At the finish location hot food will be available too. Anticipate arrival time to be 9am, briefing at 9.30am and set off at 10am, finishing around 2pm or so.Trophies will be given at the event of the event.As before, this will run primarily for CT teams only, although the event may be opened up to others to fill numbers if needed.Hopefully see lots of you then!*A view you may, or may not see on this event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Excellent, always nice to get some new faces along to these things! I wonder if the plea in the club mag made people investigate these events more, as a few years ago we (the club) were struggling to get even 6 entries.I'll publish the paperwork soon, but the map you will need is as follows;OS Landranger Map 151Stratford-upon-AvonWarwick & BanburyEdition C4,Revised 1997Revised for selected change 2012.ISBN; 978-0-319-23178-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Start venue is now confirmed, as is the finish venue, so I can now finalise paperwork.Expect to see entry forms soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Entry forms, regulations etc will be released on the 15th Dec with entries opening immediately from that point.Expect narrow lanes (hopefully no angry farmers this time!!) for some 'interesting' navigation, and some fast open roads too. Hopefully we'll have some photographers dotted around the route too, but our usual photographers Andy and Rachel may be busy; child number two and moving into their new house all in the space of a week!!

Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Good morning everyone,In anticipation of the huge rush of entries I'm highly unlikely to receive, I have decided to release the paperwork now, so those of you who are very keen can get an entry to me in time for the actual opening of the entries.Entries will remain open until the middle of Feb.This years event is a little longer in mileage than some of the club events, but the second half is mainly much quicker roads where you can easily average 40 - 60mph (where speed limits allow!), but the timing of the rally has been set at 20mph for the duration, so there should be plenty of plotting time too, and you shouldn't have to risk anything to complete the event on time. I hope it will be quite relaxed but good fun.AJ will be providing breakfast again - the hall we're using is a bit cheaper than before so we're hoping to offer at least a bacon and egg sarnie to all entrants as part of the entry cost, but we may stretch as far as a Full English - TBC.I look forward to seeing you all then, and hopefully a few new faces too!

Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Anyone fancy this other than Richard?? I know it's some time away, but still only 1 entry?I might have to cancel or open to other clubs at this rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 My entry is in the post... in fact I'm slightly surprised it hasn't arrived yet. Possibly used a second class stamp, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Anyone fancy this other than Richard?? I know it's some time away, but still only 1 entry?I might have to cancel or open to other clubs at this rate! Will I get 1st overall then?!! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sorry Richard, I can not now be certain of you getting 1st overall as I now have entries from Matt and Charlie and Rob and Iris, although Rob and Iris are in the Beginnner class.I'll start adding entry details when a few more trickle in.

Ants Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Is anyone looking for a navigator for this event. Ideally someone living to the West of the area as I would be travelling from West Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Damn, just double checked the date.... double booked. Sorry, we can't make it our first rally after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajaxracer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Is there any room left for the event? I've never done this sort of thing before so could be a laugh. Cheers Nathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Sam, that's a shame - but there are plenty more coming this year - most are in the south of the country, and then there is my summer treasure hunt which is usually good fun.Nathan, yup, there is still space on the event. If you want you could give me your entry form and payment at the TDC/CT meet next week (If I've remembered your user name correctly!).
