Default food situation etc........

Ok everyone, many thanks once again for supporting the series as was said at the end of the day, was an absolutely fantastic meeting and some really really good racing, and the skill some of you lads and (girls) have to control your buggy over those BIG jumps like in front of the rostrum is fantastic to watch and for many people to admire!!!
Think the track was very good and challenging as we like to keep you all on your toes, and as Chris has already said there are many new ideas floating around ready for round 4. Everything ran smoothly and not too many problems.
Also big congratulations to those of you that won a prize on behalf of Schumacher Racing and Worksop Model Car Club, hope this makes a nice change from trophies for you, especially those drivers that won the small helicopters today, believe me you shall have hours of fun with them!!!!
Ok so onto the food situation, as has been announced at every round so far and about 2 or 3 times today, you CANNOT bring HOT food into the centre which is brought elsewhere, like Mcdees or the shop opposite the venue, however you may choose to buy that food but please eat/drink it within your own car in the car park. But as to regards to bringing in your own homemade sandwiches, cakes, crisps bottles of drink/pop etc then this IS NOT a problem, you are welcome to do so. The problem with the HOT food has ALWAYS been an issue at the venue for as long as I can remember, but I must stress however not the staff who serve and look after us on the day, but higher up the rank and something to do with there policy apparently, we also get a better rate for the sports centre assuming some people are going to use the facilities at the centre on the day for food/drink etc, if we had to pay full price for that arena for the whole day and saturday night when setting up the track the race meetings just wouldn't be possible to run for the club!!! So with the food issue I'm afraid I have to see it from both sides, even though I don't totally agree with it all, the venue is working closely with me to provide you all with a more varied menu and better prices like today. Now if there is EVER an issue with ANYBODY being thrown out of that venue then please come to race control and talk to us about it, as we run that event it is down to US who is thrown out of that venue, so rest assured you WON'T be getting thrown out for something as petty as that!!!!!
Also if anybody would like hot food etc at the venue on the day and has any special requests due to diet, allergies etc then please try and make us aware of it beforehand then we can organise with the venue to try and cater for you too, I have been told before there will be no problem with that.
Now sorry for writing sooooo much but after all the comments so far on these issues tonight I thought I should make you all aware of how things should be done in case you wasn't clear of it already, and as I say anyone with any problems during an event we are running at the venue please come and make us aware of any problems as we are there to help sort out any matters that may arise, gotta say I wasn't aware of any of the issues today as had my head in that computer for most of the day again
Please don't let these small problems put a dampener on anything as it was an awesome meeting!!!!
Regards
Mark
Race Director
