Question for members

[turbobrick]

Hi everyone,

I've got a meeting with the youth centre on wed, about building a permanent outdoor track up there, but due to the lack of interest with club racing at present is it worth the time and effort, organising and building it for it not to be used????????

Let me know if you would race on a sunday outdoors during the summer???

Surely if there was a permanent track built then this could be used midweek and even in the winter couldn't it?
This kind of thread comes up all of the time but bot all happens. Get a plan together and then ask the question again I would think. The trouble with Jarrow is that not everybody sticks together which is essential to a track being started.

[chris68nufc]

Just another thing, if Jarrow got a core of racers regular midweek somewhere then it would be so much easier to get a tack built. More members, more helpers. What's the point of building a tack with a member turnout of about 6 or 7?

[turbobrick]

Chris you constantly go on about mid week racing, as i've said numerous times before, if someone can find a hall to race in midweek at a price the club can afford, then I'm all for it.

As for now we are stuck with what we have, which is that the area wether indoor or outdoor will only be available on a weekend, due to the fact it is primarily a youth centre.

The only reason a lot of these opportunities pass us by, is because nobody supports the club, or the people that are there every week to keep it going.

We must be able to find a midweek venue? Remember the turnout at narrow on a Tuesday? There are more buggy drivers around the ne now than when we were at Jarrow.
I keep going on about midweek racing as you put it because that was the most successful racing we had. When Jarrow get a core following again then I think that will be the time to think about a permanent track. The North East is crying out for a track, desperate in fact!
Why can Jarrow not merge with a club until they get a better venue?

It would be easier to close the club than merge two together I think.

At present NEAM is not losing money or anything. As for an outdoor track the opportunity is available now, at the youth centre, finding land elsewhere is almost as hard as finding a hall midweek for less than £35 an hour.

A better idea then,

spend the 50 quid on hiring a bus so we can all go to RHR as they race on a wed night, flood lit i believe.

That way all the lazy members wont have to build a track, nobody needs to do any work finding venues and nobody needs to do any bitching.

Job done.

A closing point, how many members currently attend on a sunday morning now? Can't be that many otherwise this discussion could be held at a club meeting.

All the members that attend on a sunday have been asked and would race on it, just thought I'd give everyone else who is a member the opportunity to have there say.

I was wanting to start racing again, but you guys make me laugh.
First why have racing on a sunday 10-3? no body wants to race then.

[turbo_brick]

Because that's when we could get a hall to race, lots of people race then that is when most events are on across the country
