Details for NERCR 2008 Outdoor regional Weekender

Saturday 24th May (4WD) and Sunday 25th May (2WD) (Bank holiday weekend at the end of May).

Camping available free of charge on Friday and Saturday nights, on South Shields Sea Front, in a locked park (NERCR will have the keys).

We have sole use of the Bents Park for the weekend.

Toilet facilities open 24hours within the park, for our use only.
Burger van will be attending all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
BBQs are allowed, we only ask that you do not damage the grass in anyway, and that all litter is removed from the site as usual.

Recreational park is 50 metres away, with pedalloes, kids mini train, Pub is 75 metres away, does great food. Fairground is 75 metres away, with bowling alley etc. The beach is 100 metres away. Restaurants are 150 metres away. And there's plenty room for that pre finals game of football.

This event has been arranged with South Tyneside council, and Northumbria Police, and is going to be a great event to push for a permanent track, if enough racers are interested.

Heres a MAP and DIRECTIONS to the venue. http://www.nercr.net/temp/CCCup_7_7_07.pdf

Sounds great chris, and that you've done a lot of hard work already

[chrispattinson]

Cheers Dan, its always worth the effort though.

Bents park is a good venue its where they held the catherine cookson classic last year, i think for the regional though there may be a bigger track which is always good!!

[chrispattinson]

Lee,

with us having sole use of the park on the regional weekend, we can use as much space as we want for the track.

We were limited by what the council gave us last summer, with there being lots of other stuff going on in the park.

So yes, we can have a big track, and hopefully make it as varied as we can.

[N7ELA]

It going to be a massive track. Get your self to specsavers chris cos i want no excuses when my ten year old losi kicks your ass....

neil.

yorkshire ppl like grayhound racin dont they ... its the welsh that are the egg chacers coz they cant play football ....i could be wrong

[N7ELA]

Yorkshire is rounders i think duncan. Wales is rugby cos they had hundreds of attempts at making a football but couldn't get it right...

I think they only play when the weather is fine. They can't hit a rounders ball with a brolly in their hands so they play snooker when its raining...

And i think the welsh play in the barn when its raining. Although its not called rugby... But they get pleanty of tries each im told... (BAhaaaa)

Us english lads race electric cars when is raining and get up to the eyes in sh**********te...

Hello Chris, do we need to book caravans in?

If we do, then book me in!

What time can we get onto the field?

Are there any facilities such as a water tap?

Cheers

Damian

[chrispattinson]

Hi Damian,

What we have is a park type field, with a toilet block. Caravans will not need to be booked in, and any water will need to be carried from the toilet block.

The access is very good, virtually flat from the road into the park.

However, if you want to book into the proper caravan park, which is over the hedge from the park we have, search for 'Sand Haven Caravan Park', which will have proper caravan bays with water and electric hookup points. I would imagine if you use Sand Haven Caravan Site, then you will need to book it.

Keep your eyes peeled on this thread for official times, we will be getting a post out ASAP, and it looks like we might be able to offer Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in the park for people wanting to enjoy the whole of the bank holiday weekend by the sea. This is to be confirmed within the next few days.

Chris.
