Advice on building a permanent track

[Big G]

Our club has been running for 20 years now and is in need of securing a proper outdoor track where we can hopefully host larger regional events. At the moment we are located down a local rugby club using a small patch of grass off the fields which isn't a bad location, but naturally everything has to be setup and packed away after the night's racing. We don't have a rostrum and every year it floods... and we would never be allowed (and there would be no point in building) proper jumps and banks

After snooping around the photos I spotted the Eden Raceway and was filled with inspiration to get off my arse and sort something out. We have just gone back indoors so we have 7 months to get something sorted. Our club has a solid base of 10-15 members that can be be counted on to help out as these are the few who turn up early and setup the track, etc every week.

I'm pretty sure if we can locate some land no matter how crappy or run down it is we can make something happen without breaking the club's bank.

does anyone have any advice on where we go next. my initial thoughts were have a talk down the club which happened last night and then write a letter to the council and see what happens next.

Cheers guys
