Track Maintainence Day
Track Maintainence Day- 28/29 July 2007 The club needs all available members to come down and assist with the track repairs. As you probably know the rostrum was destroyed in gales earlier in the year. Jim Dixon has been working overtime and constructed a new section for the conainer top. We need lots of hands to help get this secured on. Also the track has recently been flooded, so we need a big clean up. What ever hours you can make it, and whatever jobs you can do, be it painting, cutting grass or even just collecting litter, will all hopefully go towards having a useable track again. The priority is to get everything done before the regional, however once we have that over with we do hope to begin planning in club days again. YOUR club needs YOU

We're going tomorrow because most people seem more interested in going to Bury on Sunday. I'm sure there will be plenty left to do Sunday.

Well we got most of it painted with primer today, the track should be pretty good for the regional once we get some weed killer down on the astro/concrete and give the grass a trim

Hi all,
I've got the final section nearly finished, stayed back an hour tonight... I'm hoping to get down and fit the last section mid week, be it this or next... Is anyone able to get down and cut the grass again in the near future? It will certainly need it... Later Jimarea51 |

The rostrum's looking much better now Jim thanks to your handywork
G - I think the straight will be raceable but a bit bumpy, the only bumps that have actually been a problem recently have been on the transition between the straight and the banking. I'm sure on the weekend of the regional we will be able to put a couple of bags of sand down to fill in the gaps and lay a piece of astro over it as a temporary measure? I bet giving all the kerbing some paint will make it look loads better too, that wont be too expensive it's just finding time to do it. |

I consider myself to have been a bit lame of late, I can’t make the rest of this week either and there is the national this Sunday. I am however available next week in the run up to the regional. If the grass needs cutting or anything else that can be done by myself I’m more than keen for that 1 or 2 evenings next week. Perhaps I could get the keys off someone this weekend?
What exactly is our rostrum status? Jim let me know if and what I can do!

Oh and I'm not planning on staying over for the weekend, are we putting down the track on the friday night or doing any work then? If so I'll come down.

The railing is up around the top of the container bar the one section Jim has mentioned, but we still need to lift the steps up to the side of the rostrum and replace the plywood floor.
