Club Meeting - 15th June

[DianneH]

Forecast for Cleckheaton for tomorrow looks good for the time of the meeting. Light showers are forecast for 1600 hours but we are usually done and dusted by then anyway and the last time we had a similar forecast to this - it was a glorious day!

See you at 10.15 am.......

Excellent. Nothing more certain to bring rain than me being allowed to come and play so I shan't tell anyone...

You've done it again..! Raining in Wharfedale at the moment..:(

[Ashlandchris]

It's my own personal cloud:thumbsup:

Forecast says dry from here on in

[neallewis]

Rain in Bradford too, but forcast says rain in cleckheaton at 10, but clear by 11. shall we just start a little later?

[neallewis]

http://www.raintoday.co.uk shows it will pass and be clear later.

[DianneH]

Raining here at the moment too - could try later but not sure how many will turn up.

My mobile has gone down again so I cannot send any messages - this is about 5 times now in the last few months. I have asked for a replacement mobile so they are looking into it.

If contact can be made with a few others and we know whether or not it is worth going later then please post on here....

[neallewis]

as if on cue, it has now stopped raining in Bradford.

[SuperSparkSteve]

I dont mind starting a little later.

[DianneH]

Still raining in Dewsbury - could do with an update on Cleckheaton.

[SuperSparkSteve]

Still a bit of light rain in Cleckheaton.

[jim sykes]

what times everyone getting there?

[Bells]

Just started heavy rain here , :thumbdown:

[neallewis]

it's clear and looks clear now in Bradford. i think it will pass cleckheaton and we'll hsve a clear day.

[Mike Parker]

Has just eased off here in east ardsley, just had a look at the BBC forecast for Cleckheaton and showing light cloud for the rest of the day now. Hopefully today will be a goer :thumbsup:

[DianneH]

Another hour could make a difference.

If we arrive about 10.30-10.45 am we could start to get everything ready and not lose too much time.

Only concern is that some may arrive, see no-one there and go away if we go too late.

Also - are we going to be able to mow the grass?

[Oscar]

Just a brief shower here about 10 mins ago
Weather is clear again now.
As the forecast is set to improve throughout the day,
Why not meet up around 10.30?

[DianneH]

Just started heavy rain here , :thumbdown:


A few weeks ago when you gave this Ian - the sun came out an hour later and it was a fantastic day.

Could you please update again in about 15 minutes?

[Ashlandchris]

I'd go for it. Couple friends may join me so we'd be 3-4 persons

[SuperSparkSteve]

Rain is easing abit now, only a little drizzle in cleckheaton.

[neallewis]

I'm up for it today so will be there at 10.30. it will dry out after the grass is cut. see you there.

[DianneH]

Okay everyone - seems to be clearing up in most places and the forecast is for it to be clear so we will meet at 10.30 am.

See you all there.................

[DianneH]

[Bells]

[DianneH]

Meeting is on if you want to join us!!

[Bells]

Good meeting today :thumbsup:

[Ashlandchris]

Thanks all for turning out today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Sorry if my son was marshaling the races you were in. I'm sure he'll get better.

[Shandy]

Thanks to everyone I talked to for making me feel so welcome on my first ever meet. Apologies for those who I crashed into/cut up/got in the way of as they lapped me..
To the chap who I helped hobble back to his chair after his spectacular fall on the double humped jump thing, hope your ankle feels better soon, and finally to the driver who's buggy parted my hair for me as I knelt behind said jump - thanks, it's a good look for me I think - I reckon I could do without the 'brown adreniline' this brush with death produced next time though, if thats ok?

[pddiggy]

Thanks everyone really enjoyed today. Thanks for running it Dianne. Hope your leg is feeling better Paul

[neallewis]

yup goood fun meeting today even of john price did cheat me out of my second place.
i hung about flying with Paul and after 5 a load of bashers turned up with nitro cars. they saud they had been coming for months, and no one had said they couldn't. i informed them that we get complaints from council and neighbours, and said it was electric only.

this could be why we are finding the astro to be particularly greasy, if they have been coming for months.

i did inform them of the local nitro tracks nearby.

[Aire valley]

Well done Neal ....nitro cars will give the track some stick so probably why it is badly worn in some places.......wouldn't be so bad if they did some maintenance..!

[smokes]

If there are a large group nitro bashers using the track would it be worth googling them to see if they are on a forum somewhere?

[smokes]

found a video

found a forum

[neallewis]

Good find smokes. looks like a bunch of bashers are going to go saturday morning.

[Aire valley]

Well done Sammy..... It's a it worrying that one of our members seems to be encouraging them ..even pointing out that the club only race on Sundays.!
1/8 and even worse 1/5 will destroy the place...
Anybody a Modelsport forum member to warn them off..? The club could end up getting blamed for nitro noise..!

[smokes]

From what has been written on the MSUK forum. I don't think they care whether we tell them that they are causing issues with neighbours or the damage to the track.
I am sure they are well aware that there are proper places to drive but why pay and race when they can tear up the track at Spenborough.

All I did was was a google search for " Spenborough nitro"

I really wish shops could do an idiot test on some of the customers who buy RTR nitros.

[pddiggy]

looks like they want to tear up the football pitch as well.

[Aire valley]

I put a message on the forum asking them politely to keep off the track...they seem to have responded positively. , ! Maybe a good idea if a local member could call by the track on Saturday just to "observe"....

[smokes]

Alan
Even if they stay off the track.
What is gonna happen if spenborough
management find them using the Skate park and football field?
Will the club get tarred with the same brush?

Regards

Sammy

[neallewis]

A lot of people are at the oople race this weekend, myself included, otherwise we'd go down and tell them to clear off. Has anyone told Dianne? I'll have a word with John Price in the morning.

[Aire valley]

Good point Sammy.......however I don't think that the club can be held responsible for the whole area....
Following Neal's point, perhaps it would be good for Dianne to have a word with Spenborough to point out the Bashers have nothing to do with the club.
Perhaps they should be encouraged to join The Nook Raceway..
