1784.4ESBS01::RUTTERRut The NutWed Jun 10 1992 14:2811
    			Saturday 13th June
    
    Windlesham Fete, organised by 'Saturday Club' (who are they ?)
    
    I've not been to this before, but this is its 3rd year running.
    There will be a number of Stratos replicas there, and I presume
    some other Classic and/or Race cars, as there are trophies to be won.
    
    I'll go along purely to meet other owners/builders of Stratos kits.

�    At Windlesham, presumably?
    
    I don't know exactly where the Fete will be held, I'll have to make
    a phone call or two to find out.
    
    I do expect it to be in Windlesham, though !
    (near Bagshot/Camberley/Lightwater/M3/A30 area...)

1784.7ESBS01::RUTTERRut The NutWed Jun 10 1992 14:539
    Due to start from about 1:30 onwards.  Directions :-
    
    From Camberley/Bagshot, heading up the A30, past Pantiles,
    across the newish small roundabout, then it's first right
    (after the Garden Centre) on the Chertsey Road (or maybe
    the Chobham Road ?).  Follow that road along towards Windlesham
    and the Recreation Ground will be on the right, before the village.

1784.9Oval Racing.......vroooooom..FIZGIG::BIGGINMInterplanetary� Explorer Extraordinaire!Wed Jun 10 1992 16:287
    
    Does anyone know the addresses of any tarmac tracked ovals in the
    Reading area?
    
    Cheers,

1784.10What kind of Oval racing are you after?NEWOA::SAXBYVote for Perot : He's got $3B!Wed Jun 10 1992 16:326
    
    Aldershot, but I don't know the address.
    
    Not quite like Indy, though!

    Well I'm used to going to dirt track ovals down in Portsmouth and,
    although quite fun, I would much rather go to somewhere up here where I
    don't get covered in dust all the time.
    
    I don't think it will compare to Indy racing, as you say, when I went
    to Indianapolis the race track was huge, with great high banking curves
    and grandstands all over the place.  Not really the same as sitting on
    the side of a valley getting bitten my loads of creepy crawlies and
    watching Mini's and Escorts bombed round in vague circles!
    
    cheers,

1784.12ESBS01::RUTTERRut The NutWed Jun 10 1992 17:5118
�    Aldershot, but I don't know the address.
    
    Spedeworth,
    Oxenden Road,
    Tongham,
    Farnham,
    Surrey.
    
    Hot Rods and/or Stock Cars on Saturday evenings.  7pm start, I think.
    
    The road that the stadium is on is the one which comes from the
    Hogs Back (A31), sign-posted to Aldershot, down to/through Tongham.
    
    Parking in that area is usually a problem on race nights.  I see
    that a lot of people add to the cars on the forecourt of the nearby
    Renault dealer - as well as any convenient (or inconvenient) kerbside.
