I don't have a post code, but its about 5 mins away from the outdoor venue, back towards the motorway.

Speaking to Di, I think the bad weather has prevented the move of the container, which has contributed to the date of the first meeting being put back.

I think he means the container that was at the old indoor venue.

Oscar · #7 24-12-2010

Yes, I was referring to the one from Batley sports centre

chalky · #8 24-12-2010

what about the date of the first meeting?

DianneH · #9 28-12-2010

There is quite a bit of sorting to do before we can go indoors and the bad weather has delayed things. I have had confirmation from the Fire Service to say that we can have some fire hosing for track markings but, as yet, I do not know how much.

We need to get some things from the outdoor track and we also need to sort which speakers we are going to use, loop for the lap counting etc.

The container has not yet been moved and some of us need to meet at the track to discuss the way forward. Again, bad weather and then Xmas holidays has delayed this.

I had hoped to go indoors on the 9th January but feel it is now too rushed to organise things for that date. We are then at Chadderton on 16th Jan and have planned to go indoors on the 23rd January, which gives an extra couple of weeks to make sure that we are ready. I would not want to try for the 9th and then find that we are unprepared and put on a bad meeting. It is essential that we put on a good show so that drivers will want to come and race at our meetings.

I will keep you all posted via the forum and may be asking for help with things.

We are hoping to make new obstacles for the track - anyone able to make one?

I can make some jumps Dianne if I knew what the space is like in the container and if someone with a van could take them to the track

Jabber · #11 29-12-2010

I am more than happy to help with transport of the ramps Rich as long as they will fit in a renault trafic,same applies to the hose pipe Dianne.Just let me know where and when.

AndyG · #12 29-12-2010

so you don't fancy making up a JM Paving sponsored jump then Jabber?

Would give you a hand if you like ?

DianneH · #13 01-01-2011

Thanks for the offers of help - I would think there will be plenty of space in the container Richard - a lot of things have been taken out - we still have the gym mats and the 2 large rolls of carpets in there but I think Steve was intending to cut the rolls of carpet to make them smaller and easier to lift them.

Feel free to make what you think would be good for the track and we will then reimburse you for the materials. Do we still need others to make some as well or will you have the time to make what we need and then James do the transporting in his van?

I think my motto for the year is going to be - Many hands make light work!

Richard Lowe · #14 01-01-2011

I can make as many as we need, the problem I have is somewhere to put them

I think the best thing to do is make them in small sections where i can do the final assembly at the track, they'd end up being about 8'x2' and say 1' or so high when assembled. How many of those could we store do you think?

DianneH · #15 04-01-2011

I have had a response from the Fire Service to say that they can supply us with approximately 250 metres of hosing.

It is red plastic and will be flat when we get it. He has suggested filling it with old newspapers to fill it out - it is 2.5" diameter. Any other ideas?

He will contact me to let me know when it is available and then we will need to collect it.

If we are going to fill it with old newspapers we will need to start saving them or does anyone know where we can get old ones without having to buy any?

Jabber · #16 05-01-2011

Just let me know Dianne when its ready and i will go pick it up.My mobile 07968919198. Cheers james.

Chris B · #17 25-01-2011

Hi all.
Any news on when the first meeting might be?

Oscar · #18 25-01-2011

AFAIK , they hoped to move our container last week but were unable(possiblty ground too soft??) Until such a time as we can get this moved, we will be unable to organise the equipment required to run a meeting.
As soon as updates are available, they will be posted here
