Hi all,
Basically the local motorsport company who arranges airfield days and track days have been forced to stop. The local council recieved a complaint and so all the proper car enthusiasts who want to drive properly and safely now dont have as many oppotunities to do so.
Here is Rich's, from Launch Motorsport, post about the council shutting it down.
"Hi there,
Bad news i'm afraid,It would seem that the persistent moaning of some of the residents at Kemble has now had an effect on all track days for the foreseeable future.Last week the council put an enforcement notice on Kemble to stop all track days until further notice.This means that i have no choice other than to cancel the planned days(Nov/Dec).
Sorry if this has caused you problems but this one is out of my hands,I've been in touch with Colerne and Hullavington to try and arrange alternative days and should get a response in a few days.I've asked for a list of list of venues which he will provide.
The search of a new venue may take a while and could mean that Launch as an events company may not operate until we can find something both suitable and local(ish),And event if we do find something there will be changes,Such as price,rules ,noise regs all the usual stuff you have to do on a track.
Kemble are going to fight this one and i'm pretty sure that when they can operate again i will be given the heads up,But again when they open there will be a whole new set of regs and rules to adhere to.
This was going to happen sooner or later so it's just a matter of process and being patient,I would like to thank you for your support and attendance over the past year and will keep you informed of any changes.
cheers
Rich and the LMS team
p.s don't suppose you know any one who wants buy some cones"
So in response Launch are organising a meet/cruise/gathering and drive round to show the council that we need a place for enthusiasts and car nuts like ourselves to go. Everyone is welcome to show support so we can get it sorted.

Also we are trying to benefit car clubs and owners around the country and prevent this happening near you. So Rich started a pettition with the Government to get more private and MOD sites running days to get us driving properly and to the speeds are cars can do safetly.
So sign the pettition and feel free to pass it on.
