Hi All,
Benfield club has now had its AGM last Friday the 28th Jan.
We have committed stay the same and keep racing on a Friday night from 6.30 till 10.30 for another year. ( Benfield is a good central location in Newcastle, we have a good relationship with the school thurs racing is on week after week)
Race fee's are £5 . but there has been a drop in membership fee's from £10 to £5.
For your membership fee you will have the ability to buy tyres at a reduced cost and have a vote at the all important AGM to name a few things.
We did take on board and discuss all views on moving the venue and the night, but I have to say you cant please all the people all of the time.
If we did move to a bigger hall it would cost more rent and if the racers did not turn up week in week out to support this then the unthinkable thing would happen the club would go bust. it was simply to big of a risk at this point.
I think it is fair to say that all clubs in the area have been struggling for the number of racers they would like to see at there clubs.
PLEASE DO COME ALONG AND RACE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Support the club in any way you can. We can then look at finding a bigger hall and growing the club. its all down to you guys.......
We are looking forward to a good years racing this year and are keen to grow the club's membership base and attracting new racers. we are going to invest in new rostrum and improved track.
SEE YOU ALL SOON.
