Indoor racing 2011/2012 - The Naul
 

Hi all,

The club should have confirmed details about racing in the Naul this winter by the weekend. Until then, we need to start thinking about paying the rent. As usual, we are looking for members to pay a monthly race fee of €50 which allows u to race in Thursday evening and Sunday meetings (8 meetings). This is not compulsory, but good value. Regular daily race fee Will be €10. If interested in the monthly subscription, add your name to the list.

Sorry I did have a look through the gallery but missed this file. Looks quite impressive and could be a good option for the winter months.
Looking through the gallery brought back memories of racing a Griffen Valley, love racing there.

All, please add your name to the list asap if you are interested in helping out the club and paying up front each month. I hope to meet with our landlord this week and we won't be able to commit unless we have more names signed up to cover the rent.

Thanks

Will

Just to give you all an update on whats being looked into at the moment;

1. Hopefully the Naul as our winter venue will be confirmed tomorrow
2. We are hoping to lay astroturf instead of carpet
3. We are pricing up an 8m long x 1.5m high scaffolding rostrum with easy access staircase
4. Setup day will be Saturday October 15th
5. Jumps will be less severe than last year, but still spectacular
6. The Xmas GP will happen agian this year - date to be set yet
7. Thursday eve and Sunday racing for buggies
8. Thursday eve flight (between races) for electric helicopters and planes

We still need some more people to sign up for the monthly rent to get this going. I am very confident that this winter is going to be the best seasons racing for decades!

This sounds like its going to be really good. I couldn't commit to the monthly fee thing as I would only be able to make it down on the odd sunday. I will however need the gps directions for this place as I have never been before. Can you help?

+53° 34' 9.00", -6° 15' 42.09" (see green arrow!!! not "A")

Hi David, we would never expect long distance travelling drivers to pay the monthly fee - its aimed more towards the club members. See you tomorrow.

Looks like its just Coling Whelan, Derek McCloskey and myself coming. Ian and Graham have to work night shifts tonight :(

Thanks for the info Will, Andrew Hanley, Colin Morrison and myself shall be there tomorrow. Weather looks good for it so it should be a great days racing. See you there.

[QUOTE]

Lads I heard mention of helis and planes being run in the naul, but didnt think it would be on the same night as DMCC are running cars.
I personally think this a very very bad idea.
Im not going to go on about the dangers of flying models, but i think we should look at flying on a different night.

For what its worth I think its a great idea to invite other types of club to use the naul, but not on the same night.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Great news everyone! The 10 people above will only pay 40 euro/month as Graham Parkes negotiated a rent reduction. We move into the Naul on Saturday October 15th - hopefully there will be racing on Sunday 16th, but I expect that the setup proceedure will still be going on and we may only get a practice session done.

Yep,

It's all looking good for the winter.

MiCk B. :-)

If we got 3 more people, we could reduce it to 35 euro each/month
For 8 meetings a month, that would be serious value!!

Nigel Dungan?
Eoin Keating?
Brian MacManus?
Dave Bolger?

Come on guys - let get this wound up and start planning the season!

Will,

At €35 euro I might chip in. With the new edition its going to be extremely hard for me to get out. Can I ask if one pays that sum, is there still a race fee every week? I cant remember how we did it last year.
