New Winter Venue

[Rob Foster]

Hi, Me and Pete have managed to find a possible solution over winter if it suits? We would be able to hire Counthill school sports centre. It would be available every Sunday and we would be entrusted with the keys so start and finish times would be flexible. we would have loads of storage space under lock and key. The main sports hall is approximately 35m x 19m this could be used solely for the track and rostrum as there are plenty of other areas to pit inc 2 basketball courts, changing rooms and additional side rooms. we would also have the keys to the main car-park so off road parking would be no problem. We have managed to negotiate the cost down to £210 per day which I think is quite reasonable??? Unfortunately I will not be able to attend tomorrow but I have spoken to Stuart and he will bring it up at the meeting.

ps just took delivery of my new Durango DEX10 today so looking forward to 8 weeks of late nights and frustration!!!!!!! Hope I've managed to build it before next summer

Am I wrong or could that be a track of over 150 Metres long at 2Metres wide..

Roger as usual you confuse me the area is 665 square metres.150 x 2 = 300 ???

Sounds good, however will enough people turn up to cover the hire expense, with all the indoor venues that are dotted around the northwest?
I hope so.......

That's a fair point but we are bury metro and we should have our own venue! Maybe other members from other clubs will join usI know of a few other people that have shown interest in the club so maybe we could pick up a few more members! Maybe we could ask for payment for the next meet on the previous week ensuring cost coverage. If there is no interest nothing lost.

30 racers paying £7 per head would cover the cost of the venue but what about the gaffer tape!!

We've got a few rolls left from Coney Green. Should be enough for a few meetings.
