One of the tricks we always used was to use a log at the lip of the jump, keeps the material from crumbling at the lip.
Maintaining them under astro is always going to be a pain, so how coule we make them permanent? Concrete is the obvious solution, but even under astro, its a very hard surface, but it's no porous so it wont turn into a squidgy mess or move gradually as thousands of buggies hit it over the season.
Also, a lot of talk about a project manager. I was a little bit reluctant to admit it, but i am a project manager by trade, although an IT one. If people like i can project manage this, build a plan, assign people tasks, manage the budget, purchasing etc. All that may be OTT, but again, what do you think?

Steve,
I personally don't think this is a bad idea. As we know the issue we actually have is not a desire as a club to further improve the track, which is of course by no way the finished article, just the difficulty with planning and organising!
Funds are good, as all that attended the AGM will know.
As I said in my previous post, we need to take things in stages, to ensure we don't overdo the changes and ruin what is still at present a good track.
If you are willing to step up and project manage this, you certainly have my vote.
Can I ask all my other committee members their views on this suggestion please?
(I will pm them all too!)
Darren
