TORA Christmas Party?

Just a thought, but would be good to gauge if there's any interest in this:

http://letsrace.co.uk/general-bookings/christmas-parties/

I realise that our members are dotted all over so it's not going to be convenient for everyone (eve most), but if there are 10+ who'd be up for it, then I'd be happy to organise the booking (there's 10 sim rigs).  They can accommodate up to 20 "competitors", but additional spectators/other halves can also be accommodated (there are spectating bleachers, café space etc for non racers/down time).

Price: £70

Groups of 10 or 20 only
Briefing at 14:00/18:00
Practice at 14:20/18:20
20 minute break for a debrief using detailed telemetry data pulled from your car, along with use of the Batak
Qualifying at 15:00/19:00

---Lunch break for 45 minutes---

Race 1 at 16:20/20:20
First podium for the team
Race 2 at 17:00/21:00
Second podium, photo of the group to be sent to them in the post along with session results.


Things To Bring


Flat soled shoes, possible change of clothes if you are coming straight from work


Inclusions

1 hour in the simulators, split into 4 x 15 minute sessions
Prizes for the winners
Use of the Batak Wall
Food served midway through your time with us- Christmas food with Bucks Fizz
Crackers
A set of Crystal Racer Trophies or Champagne for the winner (groups of 20 will receive both)



Please fill in this form to register your interest and help me see if this is "do-able"!!

near gatwick airport

I'd be up for it providing I can fit it in around my shiftwork.

ooo not too far from me, can always ferry people up if there's anyone near me wanting to go but are worried about transport.

400+ mile round trip and around 7 hours in the car - as much as I'd love to I think I'll have to give it a miss  

See I looked into a karting event before (though when there were alot less members) at somewhere like Milton Keynes, or Birmingham

Well that was weird! Just had a rep from LR turn up at my place of work to promote xmas parties!

Re: price. I recognise it's not small money, but I would say it is good value for money when you consider their regular price for a race experience and all the separate additionals they're including.

On top of that, I just spoke to their rep and we'd be able to choose which cars and tracks are used because we'd have the whole venue blocked out for 4 hours.

That's not fair - you know I have a candy addiction.........and I don't mean that crap every numpty appears to play on Faceache   

Oh I hate that, 3000 times a day "Bob Dole invites you to play Candy Crush".

C'mon dude, be fun, its Xmas, you have to make sacrifices that's what Christmas is all about!

Very tempting, I'm keeping my eye on this

I'm gonna try to make this. Really fancy it.

I'd be interested depending on what day we did it. Can't have anymore weekdays off sadly
