Exclamation New Start Time 5PM From 3rd Of July !!!

As above from the 3rd of july the doors will be opening from 5:00pm.

Ideally we still only want to be using the hall for 4hrs so the more help we get to build the track the better......!!!

This will ensure everyone will get 4 rounds and a final unless we have have high numbers or any problems on the night, then we will run till we finish but must be out for 10pm at the latest !!!

See you all at 5pm on the 3rd

Ps.....Spread the word

Ideally we still need to be leaving the youth centre by 9pm so were not charged for the extra hour just to put all of the track away.

It took 1hr 15mins to get the track built up........If we cant get the help to build the track quicker then we will have to only do 3 rounds and a final !!!

See you all on the 17th

When I raced at Barley Mow, they had a selection of track designs that rotated every couple of weeks, even with laying carpet down it took less than 30 mins to set up. It might be an idea to produce some layouts ourselves so that people can see the track design for that night, that way we aren't relying on one person to design whilst everyone else watches on. people can crack on doing multiple parts of the track quite quickly then.

you can have 100 people helping to build the track, but if none of them know what they are doing or if helpers are getting conflicting info from the planners its going to take twice as long.
I often find myself carrying stuff out the garage, dropping the carpet, taping it down and then getting out the way as I never know what to do. and when i do, do something it turns out to be wrong.

So having a few published plans, as suggested would give everyone a good idea as to what is required of them.

Before you can build the track, first you need to have enough people to help bring all the gear in.....instead of just standing around.........first priority is to get the carpet in.......then everything can be brought in after that.


Priority List.....

1, Carpet
2, Ropes and printer (cages)
3, Rostrum
4, Ramps and Jumps
?
?

Having an Idea on track layout will help more but its not rocket science......everyone knows what gear we bring in.....if more people were proactive and asked what needed doing then this will make it easier all round.....everyone will know what they are doing and needs doing to get the track built quicker......then before you know it were racing !!!

Too many people sit on the side lines just leaving everything for other people to do......simple as that.....if you dont know what to do, then ask......dont just stand/sit there and watch the same people over and over again building the track and putting the track away.

This is a club.....and a club only works when everyone works together !!!

My observation from the last couple of weeks is there is a lot of confusion regarding getting the track out (and back in).

As the carpet is now at the bottom of the garage, all the ramps and cages have to come out the garage first and be "dumped" outside whilst the carpet is moved in and laid by 1 or 2 people, whilst that is happening nothing can be moved in, until the carpet is down and taped. During this time everyone goes off to tinker or chat, then loose sight that the ramps etc need bringing in, leaving only a couple of people to move it.

Likewise putting it all away, the ramps, rostrum and cages are cleared then cannot be put away until the carpet is rolled, moved and stored, meaning the ramps etc all need double handling.

I think a re-arrange of the garage would help, so that all the elements come out and go back in the right order, although I appreciate that is difficult now with the weight of the carpets.

I also like the idea of having prepared plans for everyone to work to.

Again, just my observations.

cheers, Chris.
