* Bring your own tables and chairs.
* Car parking is security patrolled and costs 60p for the day, so bring some change!!

Unfortunately last year, someone had their Sat Nav stolen from their car, so lets keep valuables out of sight when cars are left all day. The security man wasnt much use to Mr. Lowe unfortunately, though when I went to see him, he was watching the TV in his cabin.

* 12V batteries for charging are allowed providing they are in a leak proof container.

* Temper tantrums on the rostrum will not be tollerated (bad language or not!!), this includes our very own Mr Pack , this is a public venue and we need to represent the sport in a good light at all times.

This is the same venue as last year and it was really good. I hope the entry for this event is good as I recall it being the lowest of the year for this one last year which was a shame for the quality of track they made.

So, any pictures, idea's, plans for the track - im looking forward to this! :thumbsup:

Track was ACE last year :thumbsup: good turn out this year please.

so far it's

2wd = 20
4wd = 41

mine isn't one off them as work is going to interfere :thumbdown:

:( come on!

It's always the same this far north, always get low attendance's.

Peter

is there still a short supply of 4wd front mini-pins or do you think castle models should have some now?

I think the series has less appeal because its not an "official" meeting :(

It's a shame, but i wont be there either :( I have to give the 1/8 car a run before the clash

Pete had plenty last weekend, but with them being made out of the softest rubber known to man I need a new set already. Who stocks GRP?

Can't have it both ways Lee-Fag :thumbdown:

G

Its better this way dude, we can go Lipo!!

NERCR guys, what time will you be in the hall on Saturday? As I will be staying over nearby so can come assist with track building if you need it?

If anybody os not going due to distance then its a shame, its one of the best venues. Just don't leave SatNav cradles on display - or anything else to that matter.

I was there at the weekend though doing 12th National :)

so distance's not an issue just the work thing is, can't get out of it without swapping a shift and then maybe having to pay it back on another race day like the Ace's @ TRCC which is my weekend off or 12th National etc

I understand that G, i know that its this way because of lipo etc and it probably is for the best but worksop is "the" lipo series which i think people would rather attend. Personally i would do both if it didnt clash with other events, but there are only so many sundays :)

Alright Ted, keep your hair on :woot:

G

I am coming up for this having to set of at 5 in the morning :woot: I will be there on my own as the Bury massive are not coming so be gentle with me see you there.:thumbsup:

Chris - latest plan has the builders in from 4pm on the Saturday. Keep an eye on here in case it changes.
ba

Robfo and I are booked in for both classes :thumbsup:

dont think thats right or fair, the appeal for me is bigger, the problem for me is 2.5 hours to travel there
now if its poo weather add some on that. my biggest problem is its my wedding aniversary that weekend so defo a no go!!

Remember guys, online booking in for this event closes around noon on Thursday (tomorrow). ;)

G

23 2wd
42 4wd
:(

I hope there will be enough time made between rounds/races so we can all get charged, its gonna be a bit tight doing both classes.

I'm sure a sensible race timetable will be adhered to by our experienced race director BA.

For our work party, we have the hall from 3pm til 7pm on the Saturday for track building. All help will be appreciated.
I'll work on the track design before hand, and get copies done so we can have a few floating around in the hall.

Doors open 7:30AM Sunday.

Chris do you know if we can use the stage sections like last time??

If you are wanting any of the stuff out of Jarrow arrange it with Ian to get in there fri night to move it to the container.

Peter

Peter,

yes we can use the staging sections. Im not sure how many are left over after the rostrum is constructed though???

Don't know if I'll bother with any Jarrow stuff, would hate to damage it, or have it unavailable for Jarrow next week etc.

Come on people.Get booked in. Chris Pattinson has spent weeks organising this event. You could at least support the region by attending this meeting

i wanna sign in but web site wont let me do it can someone do it for me pls!

have you gone onto internet options and 'accepted all cookies' if not try this and it should work

if it still doesnt work then if you want me to get you booked in pm me your details...

I am likely to do both classes, last years track was excellent, although I am only pre-booked for 4wd. I know the pre-booking is still open but for some reason it doesn't work for me although I know my username and password - I was prebooked in 4wd by Brian.

Hoping to come to Temple Park for 3-4pm, will help with any track building. Do we come in main reception or the side doors?

The standard ruling when running BRCA style meetings is that there is 1 hour between rounds. ie Heat 1 @10 am next Heat 1 @11 am.

Chris - come in either doors, the side doors will probably be open, and if thy're closeed just knock.

If anyone is going to York on Saturday night & the doing the regional on Sunday could they do me a favour please? Could you see Simon Major & pick up a couple of bodyshells for me? Let me know please

Thanks

Barry

you have a PM Barry :)

All sorted now, thanks Andy

Barry

Anybody think I should do the regional after a 10pm-7am nightshift at Asda?!

Yes defo. I want you to beat Chris Green cos he goes in a huff doesnt he?. Plus the numbers seem quite low and Chris P has done tonnes of work for this event.

If it makes you feel better Emily I'm doin regional after a 19:00-07:20 shift.... Just ask Peter what ya need.... Reed Bull................ and lots of it.....

No s**t Sherlock. As was proven at Worksop on Sunday.

Peter

Ze Emily has ze night of Saturday offfffff!

Scoooooooore!

Yeay!! Em is coming to S Shields :)

Yeh and somebody to drive there(complete with snow fall) and back, I.E me:lol:
