i know we all have paignton on a wednesday and poole on a tuesday, but has anyone else been to wincanton (hunters lodge) on a thursday ? i went a couple of times last year and it gets packed out, plus the landlord doesn't allow cars anywhere near.
even the local old bill provide entertainment by cruising up and down every now and again for us to wave at.

Its a shame really as Paignton is a bit far for me to travel on a wednesday night having work the next day, is there nothing down this end guys?
Nothing seems to happen south of Plymouth

Not quite true, you have the Lands End Trials coming up at St Agnes mid April, that will be a larf.

Oh right, didn't know about that, sounds like a decent thing though.

Lands End Trial is over Easter weekend! One of the best places to watch is Blue Hills up at St Agnes.

There is also the bike meet every Tuesday night down at Hayle McDonalds from about 6.30 onwards...rideouts to Perranporth etc when summer is finally here!

Not sure how much Winkleigh Airfield is used nowadays...

Used to go there with my dad in the 60/70's and watch Drag racing...

Think they still do Kart racing there...

maybe worth a phone call
