VENUE needed in the South

[RudeTony]

If there is anyone that knows of a LARGE barn, warehouse or similar for rent (long term) or to even buy then please let me know ASAP.
It has to be big enough to hold National and International events for 1/10th and 1/8th Off Road......
Many of you may already know that I am looking for a all new venue to build an all new dirt track but it HAS to be a big and permanent venue.
Please advice if you can help

How far down south are you looking?

Hi Yah
Anywhere south of Birmingham - the closer to the M25 the better for easy access for everyone

Tony,

Why not do a drive round areas where they rent out the use of wedding venue barns and knock on doors and ask. The best alternative would be to find a farm as they would welcome a means of some extra cash especially as the government are trying to ruin them.

I hope you find something, keep me posted on whats happening.

Hi James
The problem with a drive round scenario (which I have done) is the following.
Firstly, the venues that are used have commitments and it won't be a permanent venue.
Agents are involved and that simply makes it too expensive.
Example: I have found the best venue but not in the best area.
A massive double unit (one for pitting) and could build a track as large as any other in the UK - all indoors BUT the agent is involved and the price is £20k per annum just for the rent. This is simply too high as I want to keep the entry fee for race meetings as low as possible.
It has to be someone that knows someone type thing on a barn or warehouse or land or anything so long as we can cover it (bloody weather) and that way if the venue is not used they get something rather than nothing.
Been through to various councils and as many know they are useless and have a care factor of zero......
Help as they say - someone must know something that can help locating a good venue....

I don't know of any in particular, but many warehouses are empty at the moment, due to the recession. I know that some of the owners won't even charge rent at the moment, and you just pay fees. That would be ideal, especially as lighting and possibly heating would already be there.

It would be worth a look round local industrial estates, and if any warehouse look empty, give the owners a ring. You never know, the UK's best track could be waiting to be made inside.
