Batley Outdoor

[LEGEND]

Don't think i will be going, it would just be nice if i did manage to go.

[Kecky]

Can you just book in on the day

Hope the weather improves

[Lee]

Yeah just turn up and book in, its just a club day.

And it nice up north.

Well, its dry

[Kecky]

Not on Sunday it isn't

Have you seen the forecast

[Lee]

It said it was nice the other day, just suck it and see

[Lee]

The weather looks good, it`ll be cold but it seems dry enough

[Kecky]

Where are you looking......the link a few posts back shows snow and rain






Doh.....well it does for next wednesday anyway.......but sunday looks ok!

[super__dan]

I've emailed Dianne and texted Lawson, no repy from either. However if Dianne said it was on before then it's usually safe to assume.

I don't mind if it's a bit cold (especially as I can't stay all day)as long as it's dry. I've dug some Scumacher greens out anyway as they should work OK.

They are not that bad dan



Dan, having never run a green, do they tend to work better when its very cold or do you think it might be a touch damp?

Anyone????

Kash,

when they raced outdoor last year, october-ish it kicked off about 11. I would assume it would start about the same time this time round, maybe dan or John could confirm or correct me.

[super__dan]

We used to meet by about 11, but if the track/cabin needs that much work then maybe we should meet earlier? I'm going to try to have a drive by later to have a look at the track.

Accidental faux par with the Schumacher spelling there, oops. To be honest I have a nearly new set as they are one run wonders in my opinion and I'm just using them up. I'd rather run BB's or GRP's there depending on how water/lenght of grass. Yellows aren't particularly effected by temperature that I know, but massivly by wetness i.e. any wetness, don't run them!

[Lee]

Will there be any racing after the clean up?

I think if the answer is yes then there will be more people turn up and help with the cleaning early on.

As there were a few guys coming down from the north east, i doubt they would travel just to clean the track.

[super__dan]

I don't know, perhaps Dianne or John Price will post later?

How did it go today guys

[super__dan]

Good news and bad!

There was l lot of work to do and not many to do it (thanks to those that came), we did our best though. The heaviest bits of mud were taken off the astro and jet washed (takes AGES), the container was completely cleaned out and sorted (mowers and generator work) and we painted round the handrail and stuff at the top of the rostrum that Jim made so well last year.

More good news is that the hard work we did levelling the straight last year seems to have been unaffected so with a liile more work the track will be great again. The best thing for the track now is actually to race on it!

Dianne has a calender put together, which is quite large inc deliberatly clashing with some nationals so NE people that don't get in can still race locally. The first is next weekend I think.

Also for meetings on the calender what we propose is that all meetings will be ON unless the weather is too bad on the day at which point Dianne will post here on oOple by 9am that the meeting is OFF. Also, Dianne is setting up a text message group on her phone which you can opt into to get a text if the meeting is OFF.
