Bring your RC cars along - doesn't matter what sort - different classes for petrol & battery if sufficient entries. (Consider it a good excuse to buy one if you haven't got one!) Meet will be suitable for bringing the family along to...

The track will be a copy of a real circuit, but lots smaller, cut into the grass

Best of all, the field is just over the road from a pub - where we can go to raise a glass of oj to toast the winner afterwards

Meet in School Road SN12 6NJ at 11:30

Any takers??

We've got a field near the Bell in Seend, so will meet up outside Seend School, have a browse at everyones cars / chat about the cars then race the RC cars in the field before going along to the pub - probably the Bell because of location but maybe the Magpies if children come along as its got a safer beer garden

These things tend to evolve as they go on on the day.... hope to see you
Don't worry if u havent got a RC car, plenty of chat etc as well

Outside Seend CE School around 11:30, then pub afterwards (??12:30 - 13:00??)
Not sure yet whether it will be the Bell or the Magpies - depends on the weather for the beer gardens!
