Castle Combe Bike meetings 2012

[Jacde]

Just been looking through the CC web site and apparently they are planning two bike meets in 2012 [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Dates haven't been published yet as there is a delay with the British Superbike dates.

Anyone got any more info (any insiders? ) as I want to make sure I can book holiday if the dates fall on working days/nights for me.

Thats odd, I got an email from Castle Combe on the 24th which said:


For the race fans………..

After an absence of 20 years, the NG Road Racing Club returns to Castle Combe to organise the sole Motorcycle race meeting on 1st September. Full details will be announced shortly.

Hopefully you are right because 1 day of bike racing a year on our local circuit is taking the pi55 to be honest!!

Was looking at the site this morning Moo as want to make sure I can book holiday if bike events fall on my day/night shifts.
It's only a small paragraph at the bottom of a page saying they wanted to better the Foggarty/Ducati experience of this years meeting.

I found it too:

On the motorcycle front, we were concerned that it might be difficult to better what we put on this year with Carl Fogarty, and the Ducati Superbike Team but, in fact we’ve gone one better as we will have 2 bike meetings. However, a delay in publishing the British Superbike Calendar has meant we are still finalising the dates, although these should be announced together with the event content later this month – so watch our website for latest developments.


Its definitely contradictory, will just have to wait and see I guess

Might see a familiar face if NG are racing there.....

Are the bike racing and bike meets not different things?last year they did some evening meets on a Wednesday with a BBQ anderson and a raffle as well as the bike racing which normally happens beginning of September!

I think Hazel is right. They do meets on the wednesday, but I thought they were once a month???

I think the 2 they're alluding to here are 'race meets' rather than 'bike nights' - from what I understand from digging CC will have 2 days of bike racing next year as opposed to just the 1, and then the bike nights will go ahead as usual for the 4 "summer months"

I think the original post referred to bike race meetings rather than bike meets with chips and burgers, at least that was my understanding :-/
