2008 Blokart Competition status.UPDATED 28/May/2008.  It looks like we have a circuit this year although not quite as envisaged. 
If you would like to Sponsor the Events please get in contact with us, various packages available.

Online registration is now live go to www.blokartchampionships.com   click on British open 2008

Event Sponsors:-  ICS Total Communications. Ruroc Protective Helmets.

The first competition will be hosted by Blokart North West at Ainsdale Beach Southport area - June 27th to 29th. 

The final round will be hosted by Speedsail UK at Gwithian October 17th to 19th.

We had originally envisaged  4 rounds this year, but are now happy with 2, hopefully more next year. We are looking at having 3 or 4 rounds in 2009 hope to have these dates sorted by the end of 2008

We hope to have online registration up shortly. You will be able to register for both events or just one, It will cost £60 for entry for Adults and £30 for Juniors (under18) per person per event. at the usual Standard.

We will be using Transponders this year.  We will be looking at the racers buying there own Transponder, The cost of the Transponder chip is £65, we will have Transponders available for you to use if you dont want to buy, But there will be a small additional  cost involved plus we will need a £60 Deposit while you have it, in case it gets lost. So it makes sense and will save you money in the long term to buy one. Watch this space for updates and Site Registration web address.

For 2008 we have Changed Insurers, we are now with Zurich Municipal, we have also secured this insurance at a reduced cost meaning cheaper membership costs for 2008, This now shows excellent value for money.

Costs are £40 for adult member,  and £20 for Juniors (under 18 yrs). 

From 1st October is £20 for Adults, £10 for Juniors (under 18 yrs).

The pro rata part of our insurance is for NEW members joining through the year, all members at the end of the year will have to pay the full rejoining fee regardless of when they rejoin during the following year.

There will be a small charge to members who attend our fun weekends. Any non-members who wish to try either Blokarting or Land Speedsailing can do so at our Fun or Event weekends for a small fee.

Race Events will have an entry fee which will be set by the Organizing body.

We can also cover all Land based Kite activity as well, but this is only if your main sports are either Blokarting or Land Speedsailing or Both of these. We are not a Kite Association.
