Silverstone Update - 06/07/2011

Hi

Just a little on the Silverstone meeting. Whilst we will make every effort to contact those entering we ask that if you know somebody that does not have access to a computer that you pass the following information onto them.

Event Notes
Strictly no dogs.
Effective mudflaps must be fitted to all machines

Entry
Please make sure that you enter the circuit using Gate 6. I am told that this is south of circuit and is passed when you travel from Silverstone village.

You will need to use your 2011 membership cards as passes to gain access into Silverstone. Please note this simply gets you into our race field. It does not give you access into the Silverstone Classic event. Security will check that you have your membership cards as you enter. No membership card no entry !

If you have not collected your membership card yet please let Colin Clegg know and he will post one to you.

He can be contacted by emailing colinc@blmra.co.uk or calling 07766 454142.

BLMRA Race Entry
Race entry closes on Monday 18th July at midnight. Please do not leave you entry until the last minute.

Silverstone Classic Tickets
*Please note* This is purely optional you do not have to purchase a Silverstone classic ticket in order to race your mower. However we have managed to negotiate hugely discounted tickets and having been visited by the organiser we believe it would be a worthwhile purchase. There will be something for everyone. The poster will be attached to this email. The classic racing finishes at 21:30 and is followed by several concerts.

The discount codes below will be valid until Midnight Monday 18th July. If you purchase tickets after this date you will need to purchase them at full price.

Tickets can be booked by visiting http://silverstoneclassic.com/tickets/

Use code SC11LMR to purchase tickets that are valid after 5pm on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th. These tickets can only be used after 5pm this will enable to race during the day and enter the event in the evening to enjoy the attractions. The prices listed are for 2 tickets. You can either purchase for a single day or for both days.

Saturday 23rd after 5pm £22.50 (Just £11.25 per person)

Or use discount code VC51034 to purchase normal tickets that do not have any restriction on the time in which they may be used to enter the circuit. Ideal for those people not racing and wanting to spend their time within the Silverstone Classic event.

The combined price for 2 tickets for Saturday 23rd July and Sunday 24th July is £80 just £20 per person per day! A 3-day ticket for 2 people costs £95

Lawn Mower Grand Prix - Silverstone 23rd and 24th July - 29/04/2011

The BLMRA is proud to announce a spectacular Lawn Mower Grand Prix race meeting at Silverstone the home of British motorsport.

Racing will be on Saturday and Sunday and will be in the style of a F1 Grand prix race meeting (full details to follow) and as part of the Silverstone Classic we will have the opportunity for access all areas including the pits and paddocks and roving access to all open grandstands and entrance into the evening concerts which go on until 2300hrs on Friday and Saturday. Racing on Saturday evening finishes at 21.30.

Race Entry will be £32.00 for the weekend including insurance

We have also negotiated an enormous discount on entry to all the events at Silverstone which can be bought on line UP TO 28th JUNE ONLY. After that the full cost will be charged. To book tickets go to http://silverstoneclassic.com/tickets/ and enter the discount booking code VC51034 which enables you to purchase tickets for the Silverstone Classic 2 for the price of 1. The combined price for 2 tickets for Saturday 23rd July and Sunday 24th July is £80 therefore just £20 per person per day! A 3-day ticket for 2 people costs £95

Camping is free although I stress that the toilet block with wash facilities is within the pay line so if you only want to go racing then please ensure you bring your own toilet facilities.

PLEASE NOTE you do not have to purchase tickets for the Silverstone Classic to attend the race meeting. It is purely optional but looking at the events and after racing timetable I think it is a great opportunity for a fabulous weekend of motor sport.

BLMRA 2011 12 Hour - 22/04/2011

The BLMRA can confirm that they have been offered a field north of Pulborough on the A29 in West Sussex. However for this year only there is a change to the published date The 12 Hour Lawn Mower Race will not take place on the 23rd and 24th of July but will now take place on the 24th and 25th September.

The reason for the date change is that the field becomes available to us in September and there is a desire from the membership to have the 12 Hour race. After 3 years of disappointments and struggles against the weather and searching for a field we hope you will fully support the event.

There is a lot of hard work to come in the next few months and we hope that we can rely on your help to make this race a success.

We are also intending on putting on a replacement event for the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of July more details to follow.

The location for The World Championships will also be announced shortly.

Please do bear with us as we make final arrangements.

The BLMRA
