The 33rd Plum Pudding Yuletide Races - TP Meet?

[Joe T]

The above event is taking place on Boxing Day at Mallory Park. It's a day of racing for "Motorcycles, Cars & Sidecars". As far as I can tell, its one of the very few motorsport events that occur over the winter, so its well worth going! Dust off those cameras and lenses that you put away for the winter and come on up!

I went last year, and enjoyed it a lot. It was my first go with the 120-300 2.8. My pics are here

More details here

Anyway, who fancies it???




NB: If the track is icy then it will probably be cancelled

 

[Grendel]

Damn, why do you keep orgainising events I can't make Joe? I'm going 4x4ing on Boxing Day :shrug:

 

[RobbieW]

I will be sleeping off the christmas dinner on bosing day

 

[Joe T]

I was very much aware that I was going to get a bunch of lame excuses like the ones above. p) Well, it was worth a try. Maybe someone will even say yes!

 

[Grendel]

Now you're making me feel guilty

 

[RobbieW]

Now you're making me feel guilty

Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club - Boxing Day - St Helens, behind the Waterside Pub on the A580 from the M6 to St Helens.

Didn't want to start another thread about Boxing Day events!

Carl.

 

[whiteflyer]

St Helens is not too far for me.

How close are spectators to the action, will a 70-200 lens be long enough.

 

[mho]

will be over eating and drinking still.

 

[seriousrikk]

Tentative maybe from me...

Which meant I want to go but I have to 'Get out of something i'd rather not do' first. I'll report back this week

For which event maybe? Carl has gone and confused things! I think separate threads may be better.....

The original one at Mallory Park mate - it's only half an hour or so from me on a good run so it would be rude not too try & get there!

Will see what I can do. She has a penchant for posing on the bonnets of cars - it was a Ferrari Enzo the other day!

 

[Joe T]

One final bump....

 

[whitewash]

i might head to that powerboat meeting if im bored cheers for the heads up, the plum pudding is a bit far for me really

 

[Joe T]

No worries Mr Wash. I'd be tempted by the powerboat thing myself if it were a bit closer.

 

[whitewash]

St helens is just down the road, might get myself some turkey butties packed up!
