Ash - the track may be on private land but this doesnt stop people from wandering on to the sports club site and using the track.

It is clearly not a BMX track and yet there is regular evidence of tyre marks round there. There is a fence but you can climb over it. Yes we do get young children with 'toy-spec' RC cars using it which we are not adverse to. We have seen them walk onto the grounds with their mum and dad and have let them have a go whilst we are working on the track - after all, we want and need new blood.

There has been a sign up on our info board up until recently when we had to take it down so a new fence could be installed. A new larger info board will be going up this weekend with contact details as planned but we have just struggled to get everything done as quickly as we would have liked.
I am sure that you are aware that a sign is only a deterrent and that in some cases, it has no effect.

At present, we have a good relationship with the landlords but we are charged additionally on top of our rent for usage and naturally we are aware that too much extra activity on the track could cause repercussions for us in the future.

Anyway, enough has been said about this already.
