I am very much looking forward to meeting up with members who have already signed up for this exciting photo opportunity. There is still time for anyone else interested but closing date is June 12th as all members have to be booked into the event in advance. This is a great photographic opportunity. The cost is £17 per person which includes a buffet. Normal entrance cost £16 without food! Please note we will not be allowed to use flash during racing.
With best wishes, Dave Dimond, Social Secretary (My mobile no. 07899 014523 should you need it)

FURTHER DETAILS SOMERSET SPEEDWAY Photos
& Food nights at the Oaktree Arena
· Experience and
photograph the exciting sport of Speedway, enjoy some hospitality and find out
what goes on behind the scenes
· Last year we
had visits from several Camera Clubs and Photographic Societies, notably
Bridgwater Photographic Society, Bristol Photographic Society, Dorchester
Camera Club and Lyme Bay Photo Club. Already this year we have had a
highly successful visit from Wellington & District Camera Club, and
from the feedback I received from those organisations, a great evening was had by
all. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself, or even contact those
clubs and ask what kind of evening they had
· Groups offered
a table in the Clubhouse, exclusively for their use, giving access to the VIP
and sponsors area, if you wish, and we will also provide you with a Buffet of
Cold Meats, Salads, wedges, or chips.
· In addition the
groups will have a pre-meeting tour of the pits and track, explanation about the
sport, which is one of the most exciting motorsports around, with machines that
will out accelerate a Formula 1 car from a standing start to 60mph. On top of
that they have no brakes, and no gears, and race on an enclosed circuit, made
up of loose shale, and all on a motorbike that only weighs around 70kgs, and
produces over 70bph, and often race just inches from the safety fence, whilst
neck and neck with an opponent
· You don’t need
to stay in the guest area, you are free to wander the public areas, and take
photographs of the action (subject to some safety rules etc). There are
numerous great viewpoints around the arena all of which will provide you the
opportunity to capture some stunning images. All we ask is that you consider
the enjoyment of the other supporters whilst doing so.
· For 10 Persons
(Minimum number at this price) the cost is £17.00 per head, which represents
great value, when you consider the normal cost of an Adult admission is £16.00
per head (without food).
NB Pre-meeting
tour of the Pits (open to public 6.00 – 7.00) and Track, subject to available
time
Drinks are not
included, but can be purchased separately from the clubhouse bar
