Talking Update at last!!!

Well after many delays (new son being born, the weather, raising funds etc ) we have now pretty much finished a complete overhaul of the Astro track.

Pics in link - http://sos-mmrc.com/_photos/MyrthwoodRCTrack/index.html (photo buckets not working for some reason?)

After much discussion with my parents who own the land it was decided that if we were going to build up the venue as a club it would need to be moved to a different part of the field and a proper hard standing car park needed to be laid so as that the ground did not get churned up.

In doing this we have been able to expand the track a bit to about 450sqm (I know its still not big but hey better than nowt). It also enabled us to build up the banks and use them to add some natural features.

We've just finished cutting a load of modular ramp formers that we will assemble tomorrow , this will allow us to quickly change layouts and feature selection in the future.

Then pretty much the "only" things required are a new bigger rostrum as the aluminium scaffold we currently use will only hold 6 at a time (and they are split over to levels) and to fill all the hose with chippings.

Were looking at having a free open day 19th of July with events fortnightly from then on.
