So 2017 is rounding up, just the Christmas meet and Christmas at Rockingham to go… but 2018 Show dates are getting released already, so no rest for the wicked! we need to get started on the planning :smiley: and we need people to be heading up the plans for each one. is there a show youwant to make EPIC? then join in and help organise the 'Punks stand

First thing to decide on… what shows do we want to attend? there are a couple for me that are 100% definates:-

  1. Retro Rides Gathering
  2. JAE 2018.

Traditionally we also squeeze in:-
3 Super Peaks meets
Japfest
Japfest 2
Trax

#6

Do we have dates for that yet @Pip ? Hopefully not clashing with RRG this year!

#7

hi when and where is the christmas meet this year

#8

It’ll be early December… But that’s as far as the planning has got so far lol

#9

19th August :grin:

#10

Excellent… added to the list :smiley: thanks matey :smiley:

#11

No, was thinking more of a ‘free’ non-show day.

#12

I am also up for this one as I had full intention of attending this year, until my car broke. The grounds looked awesome and it’s South which is good for me lol!

Hoping to attend more next year. Probably with the 5, just got to make it a little less stock…

#13

Simply Japenese is on the 29th July.

#14

added to the list in OP.

@MonkeySpanker yeah I’d like to go to ACE cafe at some point :smiley: lets get set show dates fixeed in calendar athen plun in a road trip around thel :slight_smile:

#15

We are upto 18 events so far spread over the year… any more suggestions before we start working out what we can actually manage?

#16

Just as a bit of an off the wall suggestion. There’s a wicked (and award winning) Cafe ten minutes drive from Silverstone called the “Super Sausage” that do a banging full English and often have car and bike meets. Prior to one of the Silverstone shows or as a stand-alone thing we could have a Combustionpunks “sausage fest” sniggers meet at the cafe? Happy to talk to the owners to try and set something up.

#17

Yeah you have mentioned this one to me before and you are right, could be awesome :slight_smile: I’ll add it to list and see how it could fit in with stuffs :slight_smile:

#18

Dammit, just realised not even got any of the combe stuff up yet… Spring performance action day, and JDM combe we did this year…

Simply Jap at Beaulieu is a must, last year was incredible… Weather, layout, venue, Stands… Drive down and the museum were well worth it too! Ill be there again next year for sure :slight_smile:
Barefoots Really Retro show is a growing event with a mad variety of all things classic, rallied, restored, American, custom and more. Deffo a vote for that too!

I won’t say what shows i won’t be at, think I’ve moaned about Kelsey Media and their monopolizing rape tactics enough for one year :joy:
