It's that time of year again when we go 'Karting with Kubs' (although no Kubs this year...)
We are doing it Friday 3 July in the evening rather than Sat morning (without the Kubs, we can fit it in) but it does mean a very early start - 5:30pm - 7:30pm.
There will be a Practice session for everybody, and qualifying for two individual races. There will be a bar-b-que as well (well - sossie and a roll so our usual 'bbq in a barrel') and all for £10 per person (!!!) inclusive of all racing, prizes and nosh, this is a special set cost whether you’re a scout or a parent. As we are doing this on a Friday, we are a bit limited on time/numbers so I need to know who is coming as soon as possible. We generally run this as a lads-n-dads event so the scouts can beat their dads (or mums - but mums being girly means they are usually rubbish at driving and wimp out...??? (although I hasten to add that of course all scouts are brill at everything so girl scouts are just as ace as the boys)) so let me know if you want to join your scout on the track (and even make me eat my words/drive me of the track etc if you are a mum). I hope we will be able to accomodate all scouts and parents, but if we are constrained, I will of course give priority to scouts racing. We will be finished by 7:30 prompt (as thats when they lock up the karts and the course! so we need to be ready to start at 5:30 to get the racing in - Aim to arrive by 5:15 if poss!
Parents, the consent form for the activity is a useful form which I will need to have before I allow them into a kart. I will have to sign their disclaimer to say that YOU accept all risk associated with the motor sport they are taking part in, and take your consent form as my authority to do so on your behalf (the venue and scout insurance policies will not apply). One year when we went, there was a crash and two of them (a scout and a cub) were thrown from their karts: no-one was seriously hurt, but it shows that motor sports are not without risk. This year, after the cub's event, one of the parents was sporting a cut above the eye where he got hit by part of the barriers... This all sounds very scary, but I am happy that the activity is run properly and Rick and I are both happy that it is safe to let our own kids take part. They have a great time!
The activity will be run by the Rednal Kart Centre who can be contacted on 07989 471307 or see http://www.rednalkarting.co.uk/home.php.
