Heavy traffic around Glastonbury Festival site

For those whose route to the circuit takes them through the Street and Glastonbury area, we recommend checking your route carefully as the roads surrounding the Glastonbury Festival site (in particular the A39 and A361 near Junction 23 of the M5) are currently extremely congested, and are likely to continue to be so until after the weekend

May results online

It was great to enjoy a whole day of warm, dry conditions at the third round of the CPKC championship today. We had a large number of races to get through and thanks to the great weather, and the hard work of all drivers and officials, the day went very smoothly and efficently.

A reminder to everybody that the June is our annual charity event featuring the Chris Hart and Robert Bailey Memorial Trophies. This event is in support of Cancer Research and we want as many drivers as possible to support the event in both Junior and Senior TKM classes. The 2008 event raised over £3500 which we hope to match this year. A prize fund is being developed, however we would like to hear from additional sponsors who are willing to contribute in some way. However large or small that contribution this is an extremely worthy cause and in memory of two drivers who were great friends and fondly remembered in the club and at the circuit. There will also be a raffle on the day to enable drivers in all classes to take part and support this event. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. Contact Mike Wellington or Derek Hunt at CPKC for more details, on 01458 841100.

April Round

We are glad to report another good day, particularly that the good weather held out for the whole weekend.

Thank you to all drivers, officials and teams for the excellent cooperation and support with the operation of the new grid system, holding area and trolley park. Reports and feedback suggest that this worked really well. Additionally we do recognise that the building works in progress limited the space available in parc ferme and could have caused significant congestion if not for the patience and cooperation of all concerned. A big thank you to everyone and we hope to have made more progress by next month.

We are glad to report that the Junior Max driver reported that he was not seriously injured, returned to the circuit and was disappointed not to be allowed to continue racing. We expect to see him back fully fit next month.

Results and provisional championship positions are now online and we look forward to seeing you all again next month.

March results

After the snow of February, the season finally got underway this weekend... just - the snow had returned to a height of 8 inches by Thursday! Thanks to the extremely hard work by put in by Lee Rennison and his team at the circuit it was cleared in time for the weekend. For those who haven't heard, in order to keep ten rounds in championship, we intend to make the December Turkey Trot a full championship round, subject to MSA approval.

The weekend saw the first appearance our newly organised Rotax 177 Masters class. If you're over 40 and can make the 177kg weight limit, why not consider joining in for the chance for the Masters championship trophy?

Thanks to all drivers, mechanics, officials and marshals who made the day sucessful. Results of the day can be found here: http://claypigeon.resultsviewer.co.uk/ListRaces.php?Round=109. We hope to make the championship positions after the first round available as soon as possible.
