**Another track maintenance morning. Sunday 30th June **

[Darren Wales]

Fella's

Although the last request 3 weeks ago got loads of hose filled by the few that turned up, we do still have a few manual jobs to tidy the track up a bit for the up coming regional so i plan we meet at the track next Sunday 30th June from 9am. I anticipate the championship round in a fortnight will be busier than past with some having a last minute test before the regional the week later so would like these done before the championship meeting..

To do..
Strim back all the weeds. (Oil needed for strimmer)
Buy industrial strength weed killer and put down on track weeds.
Buy extra megaphone speaker for top corner of track, to improve range.
Buy waterproof box for speaker connector and fit top corner.
Lay down speaker wire permanently to top corner and connect to box above.
Buy splitter(s) for speaker wires.
Speak council about getting permanent bin installed behind cabins or purchase bin barrel.
Spray grid markings on top straight.
Re spray features.

Now this is not a lot of work for half a dozen people and would take a couple of hours to complete, so if you can spare a couple of hours next Sunday, please reply on here and specify what you would be happy to assist with from the list.

As a reward for helpers, there is a free meetings racing in it for all that turn up.
(That doesn't include the regional meeting though )
Thanks in advance

You may be more likely to get people on a Saturday as Sunday for most is a race day. Even if bmrcc isn't open

I should be able to make it down on Sunday, 9am is good for me.

As for weed killer, Round up is very good, the Farmer at the nitro track always used it with good results.

Do we already have a sprayer to put the weed killer in??

Nice one birdy. I'm reliably informed by Mark who checked yesterday that we do have a sprayer. I seem to remember Roger using one too!

This refil will do the job me thinks, or should I get 2? http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/garden...skuId=11268373

Gav, don't make excuses, make the effort!

I'll happily come on Saturday but Sunday is a racing day and I'll probably be racing somewhere, if there's anything I can do on Saturday I'll happily do it I.e dig up the big weeds ect so it's one less job for you on sunday

My mrs is working so won't be able to make it as I've got the kids

Gav, if you can get down on Saturday and pull up those weeds around the track on the car park and around the perimeter and start with some more in the bottom left corner if you get chance, then anything you do will be a bonus and yes, some less for us to do on Sunday.

I'm going to get a couple of bottles of weed killer to put down on the track weeds for spraying after we've given them a bit of a trim with the strimmer.

Buds, I'm bringing my boys, but they will just be booting a football around the fields to keep them occupied.


Anyone else freeing themselves up to get down for a couple of hours this Sunday morning? Come on guys, many hands and all that!
