Unadvised Practice Sessions

[frogger]

I have been to EPR for 2 practise session this year (Steve and Matt you know about me as I've emailed you). Everytime I have been there I had a chat with the lady behind the bar or anyone else that was available and at best there has been total confusion about the who is allowed and who is not allowed and who I need to give money to etc. Both times no one wanted to accept anything from me and to be honest I wasn't sure that if I left my money behind the counter that it would ever reach the EPR fund!

There is clearly an issue with people not being informed as I have experienced myself. You'll do well by adding a big sign (not an A4 page as seen before) with the rules, costs AND contact details about using the track.

Is there currently a membership scheme for 2008? I remember last year it was £130? Does that compare well to other 10th club's yearly membership fees (out of interest)? My micro indoor club (High Wycombe) wich is a permannent venue charges £22/year/family and £5 per race day for comparison.

The landloards must have an understanding that you guys cannot be held responsible for other people's actions. It's unreasonable for them to complain to you about something that is out of your control. If they are after money then why not simply inform the people behind the bar to take money from people who wants to practise whoever they are?

It's a great venue and it's near me and it would be great if there was a slightly more open attitude to use of the facility from the landlords.

TBH everyone, team xtreme understand that they were wrong, and have apologised and will remember to ask in the future. There is no need to carry on like this.

If a couple of people went down to Eden Park raceway and took a couple of photos, put them in a thread here, then they would probably get a quiet PM and maybe a thread like this saying they were in the wrong and that in future Eden Park would like to be told before anyone uses their track, but I don't think these people would be named, and I am pretty much certain that people wouldn't go on like this, "tut tut tut" and saying things that have been said in the other thread.

Yeah a lot of people are up for a laugh, but tbh naming and shaming an RC company, and going on at them for something they have apologised for is not funny to me.

Be fair though, it may be a 'permanent' track, but it isn't a 'public' track.

My local track got a good deterrent, it is in the corner of a carpark, which you got to pay to enter during the week lol

Definately G, if he didnt create oOple, nobody would run preds and they would never have gone to EPR to cause havoc


Jimmy is bad

I am going to call time on this before it gets out of hand - again!

I can understand everyone has an opinion and that this is a place where they can voice it. It is a shame that we don't get as much enthusiasm on a cold Saturday morning in February when there is weeding to be done!

Thread closed - now everyone can breathe a sigh of relief!
