Neil,
Our new rostrum is due to be installed on Thursday morning
You'll be pleased to hear that we have a RAMP on one side that sounds like it will be suitable for you. The rostrum is 1.5m wide so you should have lots of room to wheel about
Dont sell up just yet!!!.
The ramp will be about 4m long and rise up to the 1.5m height of the platform. You might need a shove to get up (you can make your own way down
) be we can all lend a hand.
Hope so see you soon to test it out!
HTH, Neil

Now i understand this but feel that really more could be done for people in wheelchairs Lewis Hamiltion the F1 racer his brother races in nitro 1/18th and he is disabled but again he struggles onto the rostrum you would have thought that we would have some kind of help. I have approached lots of clubs by e-mail one mailed me back the others well they just ignored me i am not going to name any clubs but if they read this they would know.
I am not asking for a miracle or you would have thought i am, all i am asking for is a little understanding and maybe some access to allow me to carry on with the sport i love so much.
