SPTA team Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Great news peeps, Saracen ey not seen one of those vehicles on the ranges for a few years. Like I say Dave you can bring the Cent but it will have to stay static. We can set up a S.A at the front of the camp site if you wish to bring it along. Come to think of it we have a great wooded area you can set all tracked vehicles up in. I know we have a few ex tankies and some still serving popping over at some point during the weekend.

SPTA team Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Had a bit of a get together over the break and it has come to light that we don't have any motobikes in the convoy this year. Anyone with an old Army bike please feel free to bring it along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPTA team Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just a quick heads up on this years Plain Invasion, Things are now starting to move in the direction we would like it to move. First of as from the 1st Jan 2009 all requests have to be approved by SPTA ATE HQ, these are the big boys and to be truthfull I didn't think we stood a chace but no, they have given us the green light to run this event. There are curtain guidelines we now have to follow by the book but nothing we can't handle. The drive outs are in the final stages and will be sent forward ASAP. One thing I will say is Saterday morning maybe a no run for reasons that will become clearer nearer the time. We do have two EX running back to back the same weekend but neither our or there paths should cross at the moment. The driver training area is still a bit of a sticking point but working on it. My last throw of the dice for this is to tell HQ everyone wanting to try there hand at some surious off road driving will have pay for the opitunity. All the money will be for the ABF charity. I have been over to Bulford and got a very nice banner for this year, Same as last year, there will be a card for every vehicle turning up that needs to stay with you at all time while you are on the ranges. These cards will only be handed out to vehicle that are on the list, If you are not on the list you have one month to go. after that we have to stop taking bookings. No one will be able to join if not on the list. Once again it has been said that if we need it HQ are happy for us to have a bigger site but this will not be the case for this year as long as we all squeeze up a bit. Again the area will be the hard standing at the front, the grass camp site, the wooded area and hard standing to the rear. The MOD have a few worries about the size of the convoy but again we are working with them on this matter and may result in the vehicles being split into groups of ten with timed departures. Road crossings will have to be manned by our group so any help on this will be greatfully recieved. Thats about it for now, there are few other things but that can all wait till you get here. All the usual rules apply TAX, full licence, MOT blar blar blar. All the best and see you soon. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPTA team Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Just a quick heads up, The licence will be dropping through the letter box any day. PLI is almost sorted, just need to check the small stuff. To date we have 60 vehicles + 4 Motorbikes coming this year. If you thought the convoy was good last year just wait till this lot hit the tracks. All routes are well in the planning stages and even though we are haveing a few glitchs trying to get the DTA we have a back-up plan. More later guys.
