How deep is it bud and how will the marshalls access the track, ladder? Just trying to warn of possible H&S nightmare! Looks great though and your first event was run really well so I sure this will be awesome. Good luck pal

Marshall access will be from special steps that have been previously built for access during other pool drained events. The pool is 6 feet deep straight across...no deep end so no need for armbands :woot:

Great news Stu. Looks a great venue and plenty to think about.

Just a few of my thoughts for the track builders. Astro is going to be heavy to get in and out of that 6 foot drop. Also you are going to need some sort of wooden platform underneath so you have a way of securing the astro. We wouldn't want the track lifting and I doubt the owners would want us nailing it into there pool.

At a rough guess I would say the pool is 10m x about 15 to 20m. Will definately be a unique experience.

How do we enter? what classes are there?

Yes some parts were filmed at the custard factory and in that area of Birmingham.

Looks great - i echo the comments about getting the astro in and out - but it would be a great location. will there be a DJ ?
