Title: UKGPL Meeting
Post by: Billy Nobrakes on May 30, 2022, 09:45:04 PM +0100
This year a few of us will gathering in person at the Gold Cup historic motor racing event at Oulton Park. More details here https://www.oultonparkgoldcup.com/whats-on/
This is an open invite to anyone in UKGPL (or on this forum) to come along & say hello on 29 - 31 July.
Tickets are quite modestly priced & there is on site camping for those who wish to stay more than one day.
We can't promise the weather but there will be historic cars blasting around the track, beer tents & pointless conversation.
If you need more info - post here.

A timely reminder that some of us will be at Oulton Park circuit for the Gold Cup event this coming weekend. Plenty of classic and period machinery racing.

If you actually want to see the fine physical specimens  ::) whose athleticism and ability contests places in our virtual UKGPL world, come along and enjoy same pointless ( but real life  ;)) banter and maybe a beer or two. Myself and a couple of others will be there from Friday until Sunday evening, camping at the circuit, so if you think that you would like to met us PM me for a mobile contact number. Then when you get to the circuit call and we will guide you to us or arrange a meeting point.

Always a pleasure to meet fellow GPL'ers, but an extra special treat to meet the legend that is Bernie Darwin  ;)

Phil,  Billy and myself enjoyed the weekend ( despite some wet weather ) and some hugely entertaining racing. Meeting Bernie was a plus, just a shame that more members could not be persuaded to forsake their PC's and venture into the outside world?

Preliminary plans are already being prepared for a visit to Donington next May for their Historic weekend. Once the circuit posts firm dates etc in the New Year we will give details on the forum.
Maybe we could arrange a "Talk with Bernie Darwin"  event where he could regale us with some of his adventures around the 60's GP races etc. That would be an evening to remember   :lol:

Ahh, sad I couldn't make it but I was away elsewhere.

Would love to do Donington though.
