Ok, think I better say something, now I've managed to catch up on a little sleep

Firstly a massive thank you, to those who made this day a joy to be part of and host. To those who came to help build the track and those who stayed to help put it away (including JORCR members and those who didn't race Keith S and Peter with the blue van!!! Thank you it was really appreciated) A thank you to Marine Scaffolding for providing (at a good price) a great rostrum, Elizabeth and Michael for the catering keeping everyone fed and watered on the day. To the school for allowing us to host this event and our fave caretaker who as always is great. Bill from NERCR thank you for your help with the computer issues and advice on the day. Thank you to those who helped collect the litter left by some other ignorant people after the event.

Ok, now what I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with, the negative stuff. This event was our first at JORCR (at the venue we and another club use) this took a lot of effort and funds (including from other members pockets aswell as mine) to host this event and I am disappointed that I have to deal with matters which should not have even happened, especially when most issues were caused by what are supposed to be adults.

We had several issues on the day, one of course as is obvious stood out more than the others.

We had complaints that when members of staff and volunteers asked for people to move their vehicles to allow for emergency access, they were rude and questioned being asked. This of course is disrespectful and should have not happened. I had to apologise on behalf of those who obviously forgot their manners on the day and hope that resolved this issue.

Bug 4 - This was returned smashed, possibly by a spur gear, noone owned up to it which I find very disappointing. We of course are aware fully of the members who used this on the day but it would have been nice to be informed as to what had happened.

Ok the last one, to follow on from this comment made

I'm ok, I don't have any medical conditions becasue I am Vader

The only medical condition which would require someone to IGNORE any common sense is a frontal lobotomy! My son suffers from a medical condition which causes incontinence and I find people trying to make fun of this disability disgusting. Due to his disability he is provided with continence aids (which others with this disability are provided with) from the local health authority and I would not allow this to be used as an excuse for public indecency including when he is older. Please don't comment on something you know absolutely nothing about and do not have to deal with on a daily basis.

JORCR's reputation aswell as the one of it's members and other racers has of course suffered due to this. The venue is now at risk due to the actions of one individual who decided to ignore the directions for the toilets and head to a bush. Opposite where he chose to relieve himself was a row of residents houses, one of which was hosting a child's birthday party. The person when questioned found his illegal actions funny. To bring down the reputation of other racers with him of course is disrespect to those who he races with. I will be very angry if this persons actions causes us to loose our weekly race venue as a club, as I am sure many others will be, we will have to just wait and see what happens with the official complaint and attempt to apologise for this.

I am hoping that no other hosts for regional events have to deal with an issue like this ever again.
