NERCR 2008 Outdoor Regional Weekender!
 

Details for NERCR 2008 Outdoor regional Weekender

Saturday 24th May (4WD) and Sunday 25th May (2WD) (Bank holiday weekend at the end of May).

Camping available free of charge on Friday and Saturday nights, on South Shields Sea Front, in a locked park (NERCR will have the keys).

We have sole use of the Bents Park for the weekend.

Toilet facilities open 24hours within the park, for our use only.
Burger van will be attending all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
BBQs are allowed, we only ask that you do not damage the grass in anyway, and that all litter is removed from the site as usual.

Recreational park is 50 metres away, with pedalloes, kids mini train, Pub is 75 metres away, does great food. Fairground is 75 metres away, with bowling alley etc. The beach is 100 metres away. Restaurants are 150 metres away. And there's plenty room for that pre finals game of football.

This event has been arranged with South Tyneside council, and Northumbria Police, and is going to be a great event to push for a permanent track, if enough racers are interested.

Heres a MAP and DIRECTIONS to the venue. http://www.nercr.net/temp/CCCup_7_7_07.pdf

Thanks to George Stoker for the image.

Sounds great chris, and that you've done a lot of hard work already

Cheers Dan, its always worth the effort though.

Bents park is a good venue its where they held the catherine cookson classic last year, i think for the regional though there may be a bigger track which is always good!!:thumbsup:

Lee,

with us having sole use of the park on the regional weekend, we can use as much space as we want for the track.

We were limited by what the council gave us last summer, with there being lots of other stuff going on in the park.

So yes, we can have a big track, and hopefully make it as varied as we can.

It going to be a massive track. Get your self to specsavers chris cos i want no excuses when my ten year old losi kicks your ass....

neil.

looking forward to this one:thumbsup:whats the earleist we can arive on the friday:confused:

omg your a eager beaver Dave :lol:..i'm looking forward to it aswell and think me and garry will be going to bury next sunday

" WE and Garry " ? LOL :p

dont know what you are talking about :yawn:

Track building will be taking place on Friday from around 1 ish (provisionally). Look out for official post Re: times etc from NERCR.

i know a lot of you guys like a game of football on a saturday night, but i was thinking as most of you are from yorkshire the home of rugby.

why don't we have a game of rugby teams of 7 it maybe fun:thumbsup:

yorkshire ppl like grayhound racin dont they ... its the welsh that are the egg chacers coz they cant play football ....i could be wrong

Yorkshire is rounders i think duncan. Wales is rugby cos they had hundreds of attempts at making a football but couldn't get it right...

I think they only play when the weather is fine. They can't hit a rounders ball with a brolly in their hands so they play snooker when its raining...

And i think the welsh play in the barn when its raining. Although its not called rugby... But they get pleanty of tries each im told... (BAhaaaa)

Us english lads race electric cars when is raining and get up to the eyes in sh**********te...

Hello Chris, do we need to book caravans in?

If we do, then book me in!

What time can we get onto the field?

Are there any facilities such as a water tap?

Cheers

Damian

Hi Damian,

What we have is a park type field, with a toilet block. Caravans will not need to be booked in, and any water will need to be carried from the toilet block.

The access is very good, virtually flat from the road into the park.

However, if you want to book into the proper caravan park, which is over the hedge from the park we have, search for 'Sand Haven Caravan Park', which will have proper caravan bays with water and electric hookup points. I would imagine if you use Sand Haven Caravan Site, then you will need to book it.

Keep your eyes peeled on this thread for official times, we will be getting a post out ASAP, and it looks like we might be able to offer Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in the park for people wanting to enjoy the whole of the bank holiday weekend by the sea. This is to be confirmed within the next few days.

Chris.

can't wait:drool:we can build sandcastles if were bored:woot:its nice to be at the seaside:D

Depends if there is a tsunami:thumbsup:

Although i do have a waterproof speedo :lol:


Im looking forward to this weekend, it should be ace:thumbsup::thumbsup:

yeah, i'm looking forward to it aswell! it's gonna be awesome :D

omg who fancys taking their cars for a bash on the beach:drool: Oh and i want to go in the sea for a swim hahaha. Who cares about the racing i just want to make a sandcastle lol

Yeah lets go bathing in the north sea:lol:

I think its the ricky hatton fight on the sat night too:thumbsup:

Cheers Chris, I will be taking advantage of your hospitality on the racing field!

Just wanted to make sure there was a water supply as the car gets a bit heavy with 10 gallon of water on board!

I will keep an eye out for the times.



Damian

hi all
just wonderd if anyone knows of a B&B that is very close to the track and cheap, problem is Garry hasnt been to well just lately and the sleeping in a tent isnt going to be any good for him.
cheers...Neil

Sorted :thumbsup:

if anyone wants to do the b&b thing just google beach road south shields.

There's loooooads of B&Bs in South Shields... and they're also mainly opposite a load of really good curry restaurants (about 5 or 10 (if drunk) minutes walk from the track)...

My parents have a spare room... I'm sure they'd be willing to rent it out... haha. 5 minutes walk from the track!

never mind curry restaurants flower:blush:is there any good chippy's:pand more to the point,is there any local pub's showing the ricky hatten fight:)

Annoyingly I'm going to have to come home on the sat night becasue I'm on call for work = gash!

Racing sounds good though!

there is about 10 chippies 20 curry shops and 5 mins walk away from the track 10 min walk there is about 30 bars some good some are fight club style ...

I dont think you could of picked a better location for the regional. This weekend is gonna be ACE!!!!!! :thumbsup:

bit of a funny one to ask but doe's anybody know if you aload dogs on the park can't get nobody to look after it

I think florida would of been better ben:woot::lol:
