Manx Rally - Isle of Man
In association with Manx Slot Car Club, SlotrallyGB is proud to announce the third round of the championship will take place over the weekend of 21st & 22nd April 2012 at the Glen Helen Inn Isle of Man.
This is a weekend (two day) event with rallying on the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. It will also feature some night stages run as a seperate competition over 3 stages with the winner taking the car! We plan to have a social meal at the venue on the Saturday evening.
Stages will be a mixture of Ninco, SCX, Scalextric and routed tracks. Dave Capelen and his fellow club members put on a fantastic event last year with a great relaxed atmosphere. The hotel venue is superb with an excellent bar and great food at very reasonable prices.
Obviously this is a long haul event for most of us, but travel costs and accommodation are not too expensive. Below are a few useful links for travel;
Isle of Mann Airport web site
Web link to airlines who fly to/from.
In addition to flying you may wish to drive and cross via the ferry. Isle of Man Steam Packet Company
As an option, I'm also considering organising a group travel mini bus. Fairly simple concept of hiring a 15 seater mini bus from the Surrey area, driving via Wales, Midlands and Liverpool and then crossing on the ferry. Exact details will need to be trashed out, but expected travel costs would be in the region of £120 per person based on ten traveling together. To help see if this is a workable option could you add a note in your application to attend a note if you are interested. It's probably best to assume traveling on the Friday and Monday. If anyone has access to a cheap/free minibus - let me know.
Accommodation should be booked directly with the venue;

Hi Martyn
It could just about be done if you would rather fly, let's hope the flight is not delayed, always a possibility......
We can get some groups started earlier that are already here and put you on last. We have six tracks and will run six on the Saturday afternoon, early evening, itinery to follow.
Let us know what you decide so we can arrange transport for you.
Gareth is unable to make it now due to work commitments so one less for you to beat!
You have massively improved since Wales in November, so you now have a target on your back.......
