Help with petition for a new club in North Dorset

[TomHow]

Hi all

I need some help with this, I have had the local town council approach me regarding starting a new 1/10th and 1/8th off road rc club in Gillingham, Dorset and they are very positive about it but need to know levels of interest, so I am asking people to go to my petition and sign it at

http://www.rcoffroad.net/petition

If you could spare a minute please sign it....

The idea is to help locals with a place to race and also get people from outside to come and compete so the track will be hopefully of national standard with some help from friends and members with design.

Done!

I live in Weston-super-Mare, so entirely local, but still be great to see another good quality outdoor track in this bit of the world .

Good luck with it :thumbsup:

Even though I don't race 1/10th, I am considering buying one, so I did it too.

Hi all thanks for the support, the meetings will be held at weekends and possibly evening as well, although that is a long way off and land is needed first. :thumbsup:

[TomHow]

I race 1/18th, and there are quite a few people round this area who race them. We had 11 people at our indoor meeting last Tuesday, and there were still a few people missing!

That's good, talk to us (tiverton rccc) and then we can incopporate 10th regionals when you get the club going.

Signed. Well done Tom, keep the momentum going mate :thumbsup:

[David Church]

This is such an amazing opportunity, the council asking for you to have a track!!!! Good job!!!

I went into my local council a few years ago and asked if there was any land avaliable to put a track on and the looked at me as if I was on crack!!!:woot:

[Belsten]

:thumbsup:signed

[shaun m]

sorted , :thumbsup: ...

[TomHow]

I am also wanting to run a cheap stock off road class so beginners dont have to fork out oads of cash to start, I was thinking something like the LRP S10 Blast BX any other suggestions would be helpful but need to keep costs down to get youngsters involved in racing. Also I am working on sponsorship to get maybe 6 of what ever car we decide to run supplied to new people to try the sport. So suggestions would be helpful

Same reaction to land but will be helping set this up with planning and possible funding but to have the town council behind this is worth it's weight :drool:

Maybe something like the madrat rtr? They are cheaper and as being a new club the cheaper the better http://www.jespares.com/electric-models?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=8574&category_id=1150

Even thou you still gotta buy batteries for it

sam

[TomHow]

Might be worth contacting Paul Worsley from the BRCA and asking if he could send the link out to all members on email ?!

www.brca.org (http://www.brca.org)

you dont ask you dont get :D

[TomHow]

Hi Panch

thanks and I have sent an email this morning to Paul Worsley

[TomHow]

Hi all thought peeps may want to read the editorial I have managed so far see the attched pdf files for stories etc :thumbsup:

[TomHow]

Nearly there and have the land sorted just the price, which hopefully will be this Friday so things are going well, still need more signatures for the petition http://www.rcoffroad.net/petition

[TomHow]

The club land is coming along with two possibilities now,

RCVenue (Gillingham Off Road RC Club) have been invited to give a demonstration race on July 24th at Gillingham Police Station, they are having an open day with police dog demos etc etc, we will be using the School field behind the station, this will just be for fun and to demonstrate what the racing is all about.

The event will be run from 10am – 4pm, I am suggesting Short Course Trucks and 1/10th off road 2WD and 4WD buggies, so long as we can have 5 of each class we will be ok but the more the merrier, please let me know by return who will commit to this date.

We will also need to arrange a few jumps to be made out of something easy to setup and we will also need some kind of track marking.

I will try and sort the bits we will need and we could setup the track early on the 24th July (Saturday) say 8am

Anyone in the local area to the town please let me know.
