The plan is to meet at 9.30am at the Tollgate Retail Park Stanway, west of  Colchester, in the McDonalds carpark (see the map below). We will then take a short drive down to the boat yard in West Mersea.  We hope to be able to get the bulk of the work done between about 10.00 am and 12.00 noon.  All members are welcome to come along and assist or just spectate.  Note that we are not making any specific plans for lunch but may pop along to the local pub or café if we overrun.

If you plan to come along on the 24 April please contact me on the address below so we know who we are waiting for at Tollgate.  Note that Geoff Walton will be away shortly sunning himself for a couple of weeks so contact me direct.  I look forward to hearing from you:

The rules of the competition state that we have to transport the go kart to the Rally in MX5’s.  This is the part where we may all need to help.  The go kart will be built from bits small enough to get in our cars and then shared out amongst those of us who are going to the Rally, so we can then reassembly on the day.  We have a monthly meeting before the Rally (Wednesday 4 May) when we will share out the various components. 

If time allows we may do some road testing before then, and we have also yet to appoint our designated driver.
