All,
I have been reading with interest this thread and what pleases me is the clear passion we have from quite a few members. This is a healthy position to be in.
Firstly, we as a club are always open to ideas on improving. We as the committee are there to take on board these ideas, discuss and decide on ways to improve the club.
As Simon has said before this post, we have been discussing ideas for some time now. What we really need is actual drawn plans, costings for materials and an idea of how long such improvements would take. Once we have this information, we the committee will approve, provided it is in the interests of the club as a whole. The current financial position of the club is good and it will be for the whole committee to agree on spending funds, not just Roger. (although he remains the key figure at the club)
I can see that ALL the comments on here are in the interests of the club, but what is the clubs biggest hurdle is the gathering of the manpower needed to carry out these such ideas and plans.
As for any ideas on adding more features, it is my personal view that the most efficient way of adding bumpy sections or similar would be to purchase additional astro-turf, of any type, to lay over any added feature and fix down, clearly one new feature at a time would avoid ruining the versatility of the track as is.
