BristolTamiya Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi is anyone interested in organising meets either in the Bristol area or the south west in general for mainly electric cars. I know there is a group that meet at Keynsham but as I understand these are large scale petrol/nitro based. It would be good as there don't appear to be any clubs either in the area.

sladekious Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hello and welcome! The keynsham bash does seem to be dominated by large scale RC, I go there with my electric truck but would be happy to meet somewhere with just elecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familia323 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 might get down there with the baja ss and mini t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolTamiya Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 A tarmac location would be good with maybe some off road nearbye, I went to a few meets at Hengrove by the cinema which were great but they build a KFC there! Does anyone know of any good venues? the car park behind the Showcase at Avon Meads is usually empty at weekends and is quite large, but ideally somewhere a bit more closed off would be ideal.

BristolTamiya Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Had a Google, looks quite good maybe a little small for real quick stuff? but only looking at streetmap so I guess hard to judge, is it deserted on a Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah Sundays and Saturday afternoons its always empty. As for the bash today if any one lives near me could offer me a lift as the wife needs the car today. Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolTamiya Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Had a look today around there, quite a few car parks by Amari Plastics with speed bumps for jumps - looks quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police are around alot due to boy racers driving like numptys lol. They are usually nice to you and want to know a bit about your RC Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
