I left just after 1.00pm and at that stage we had got all the membrane down, all the long strips of new astroturf down and started filling in gaps with old astroturf in front of rostrum and in pits. A lot of the astroturf was frozen so we spent some time unfolding it so it would thaw out. Also had the wacker machine and I think it was Neil who did a sterling job of trying to flatten the track.
Still need to pin or glue the edges of the astroturf down and then we can finally start track building. Numbers were down a bit this week but if we can get enough volunteers over the next two weekends then I reckon we might still see a bit of racing before Christmas, failing that maybe a New Year track opening meeting on the 2nd Jan?
