Default Club Meeting Confirmed this Weekend 16-3-14

The race calendar only goes up to 2nd March for Indoor and 9th March for Chadderton.
Is there any indication of anything on this weekend or beyond?
Is it decided yet?

Many thanks for any help

I think its the first outdoor meeting, but not too sure? Oscar posted photos of the outdoor track on the club facebook page this week, so I imagine he went to check it out.

It's the last Worksop Schumacher indoor masters series meeting on sunday also, so a number of regular Batley members will be racing there.

Dianne has other commitments this weekend, however I did think if the weather was really good and enough people were interested I might run a meeting?
I guess if a lot of regulars are off to Worksop, it might not be worthwhile?

I would be up for an outdoor meeting.
I'll keep checking the forum for an update on this.

Presumably there are rules about using the Spen track to practice? I haven't driven an RC car since the photo in my other thread was taken so could prob do with a few laps before I jump in head first!!
Haven't got a fully running car yet, but when I do, can the track be used for practice? Do I need permission?

Officially it's for club members use only or non members at an organised event.

However I guess anyone not causing nuisance or damage and
using the correct type of vehicle would very unlikely be asked to leave

John - I will send out a text message if you let me know whether you are running or not.

I am sure there are plenty of drivers who will come to a meeting on Sunday - especially if the weather is as good as it has been this past few days.

There are lots of drivers who cannot wait to get back to the outdoor meetings. Once word gets around that we are running an outdoor meeting then I am pretty certain that we would get several drivers turning up to race! Also, we have a NE Regional meeting in April so there will be those who will relish the chance to practice.

Although a handful of drivers are going to Worksop we still have lots of other drivers who do not go to these meetings and would be happy to come to a Batley outdoor meeting. We have not let the Worksop meetings affect our indoor meetings where we have high rent fees so we will definitely not let it affect what we do outdoors.

I am available for a few hours on Sunday as I am not going out until 2pm so could call in with the equipment and help with the setting up etc.
