Take up existing Astro

Within site curtilage dig a pit say 3x3 m and fill with stone (this will act as a soakaway)

Lay land drains from the point that collect water (low point) running to the soakaway

Land drains being basically perforated pipes burried in a trench

Re-shape track/jumps as required with some good grading(smoothing) with the back of a machine bucket

Cover the lot with new Astro turf(donated or whatever)

Cost? Machine for a day with driver say £250

Stone and pipes say another £250

Astro new around £500 should do it - hopefully second hand

Basic solution improved by laying 500mm minimum of stone across the whole of the the track for netter drainage (prob not too necessary as when it's wet often people don't race)

Total cost around 1k

If drainage Is not a concern then just a regrade with a machine n new turf would do

I'm guessing bmbc has some funds available?
