The outdoor track

[JamesG]

What are the plans for the outdoor track, are doing any work to it this side of christmas or is it being sorted next year?

[keithm]

I would have thought that we would need to sort it soon so that the grass seed the club bought would be well established for next season

Hi James/Keith,

We had a Committee meeting the other week - the outdoor track was on the agenda. An action from the meeting is for Dale to discuss our longer term aspirations with the Rugby Club so that we can start making some firm plans for next year's season. As soon as we know what's happening, we'll let everyone know.

Cheers

James

Have we any news from the planned meeting,the reason i am asking is that there is a a bag of seed and fertilizer in the container that needs to be put down as soon as.Cheers.

Dear All,

I can now confirm that we have agreed a three year plan with the Rugby club which will mean us moving up the field slightly to the area used on a temporary basis for a new weeks before the DBoot GP.

The ven more exciting news is that we have been given permission to build a bespoke buggy track next to where we are moving to enable us to build something over the next couple of years without pressure to run on it straight the way.

This is a massive step forwards for the outdoor section of our club and I am sure you will all be very pleased to hear that Craig Nutting has once again agreed to develop this area for us. I ask you all to support Craig and should you wish to help him, I am sure he will be most grateful. Our vision is for a multi-surface track.

Regards

Dale

Excellent news - I look forward to seeing the plans as they unfold and helping out with the new track.

Do we need to move the container so we can use it as a rostrum or will we be using the step things again?

I'm willing to help Craig out just let me know how.

[Dale]

Hi Mate,

Thanks for the offer (always well received!)

Yes the container will be moved at the start of next year for the new site.

The area being developed is where the mounds and bonfire was last year. Craig is going to be reviewing site and will be coming up with ideas etc.

My vision is for a grass track with multi-surface, including astro/slabs etc.

HRCCC has a great opportunity of creating one of the very best buggy tracks in the country and we are going to have a crack at it!

Is anything occurring yet?

[Dale]

Mark Stevens has the code for the fence and will be assessing the move which should be started next month.

I think we will need some work from drivers prior to the start of the season and this maybe for a couple of hours before racing for the first few weeks painting jumps etc.

I will get Mark to post on here to confirm what is happening.

Anything now?

[Dale]

Hi James,

We have the container planned to be moved for the start of the season and I know Mark has been working on the jumps etc.

Seems to be full steam ahead but I am sure Mark will need the support of many of the members to get this season up and running. So I call on all drivers to make contact and offer some support to Mark so we are ready for another successfull season. I myself will be taking part but am unable to commit in the normal way due to my change in circumstances but I want to see us all pulling together in 2012.

Regards

Dale
