Track Work Saturday 13th April

[Gavin Collingwood]

Is it still soft enought to peg tents and gazebos down?

[Darren Wales]

Try it on Sunday!

It's not fully compacted so it should be no problem.

[Darren Wales]

Oops

[Gavin Collingwood]

Yeah as that's quite important.....

[budfish]

Why is it important?

[johnnygibbon]

Loads of grass for tents To pitch on at goshen don't worry gav
I'm really glad we got hard even ground again we needed that for a couple of years now
Hope we can keep up the progression at bury its starting to come together bit by bit
Awsome

[budfish]

Tents and gazebos !!! Who do you think you are Lawrence of Arabia ?

Bury members are made of stronger stuff than that no wonder you look all pale and gaunt like gollum on crack!!!

Ok bud stop fishing :-)

[Gavin Collingwood]

We should finish painting that rostrum, it'll look much better. But this time the people/person with the paint has to actually turn up when they said they were going to so more people can help out

Very inappropriate to be so ungreatfull when asking people to give up their spare time to do work for free. At least he did turn up after he had finished the paid work he had on that morning. Was he wrong to go and finish a customers house first?? No

Any help at the track when it comes to maintainence is hugely welcomed by the club

[Gavin Collingwood]

Fair point didn't know that, should activate brain before opening mouth sometimes. Sorry guys

[johnnygibbon]

Cheers buds
And gav you need to work in ya scraping skills before getting upgraded to painting

But a point well made
The paint was at bury before you were gav
But every time we tried to organise a painting party people bottled it and as had been pointed out I paint for a living and don't want to spend my spare time painting goshen on my own or at best with a solo painting partner (cheers mark)
To then be criticised for it

So with that being said
Who can help paint and scrape and other menial boring tasks and when

We still need to get goshen looking good

[Gavin Collingwood]

I was there at 9:30 last time and I'll be there again if you need another hand

[johnnygibbon]

That's the attitude we need
Many hands an all that
Think the cabins May have to wait
That's a lot of green paint
But the rostron needs finishing and I hope to have stencils end of this week or next

[Gavin Collingwood]

I'll look into the distances the brca say you should have between each grid marking too

[coleman758]

No point permanently marking grids?

That means you can only have the straight in one place!

[Gavin Collingwood]

No it doesn't. You can have it anywhere still but 9 times out of ten we use the full straight

[Si Coe]

I'm pretty sure if we mark them out the officially specified distance then the only place on the track we can fit a full 10 car grid is the main straight.
Now that doesn't mean we always need to use that grid, but we might as well have one painted.

Like I said
