Sorry to hijack your thread Neil but seeing Aris' name appear reminded me of a place I raced at quite a lot in Christchurch called Wessex Off road Models (WORMS).
It was a dust track with a table top and a bomb hole in the corner of the public park.
Timewise it was somewhere around 1982/83.
Anybody got any memories or pics of that one too? I can't find my pics
