Jamie - as you know we are at the mercy of other people using the hall. From what I know the hall is used on a Monday evening by the old time dancing brigade, and I believe they put down chalk dust to help their zimmer frames glide across the floor.

Unfortunately by Wednesday some of that dust remains and affects our racing. The only answer as I see it is for the floor to be mopped before the track is laid each week......and as has been mentioned previously getting people to step up and assist more seems to fall on deaf ears so that's not going to happen.
I doubt it's chalk - that would be abrasive to the floor. It could be dance floor polish, which I think is a sort of wax - needless to say, not great for traction.
