Well not at Northside it will be Siloth Sea Washed Grass all round and in the centre green... supplied and laid by Cumbria Turf... I even caught Captain Comet planting trees and saplings last week round the outside... hopefully it will all look very natural once it's done... Regards THJ

Funny you should mention that... Cunbria Turf Kirkbride Wigton ... 1000m2... cracking prices for the very mentioned Silloth Sea Washed Turf... all inclusive laid rates... https://www.cumbriaturf.co.uk/ Regards THJ

Have a word with @Justgotmecpc he may do you a deal with you being a Speedway fan... Regards THJ

It was as we lived on Grace Street from 1974 to 1986 and I could see the whole track bar the third bend from my bedroom window... However it was still better viewing standing under the Tote board on that bend than from home and when the Tote board was pulled down we migrated to right in front of the starting tapes... It will be a miss... Regards THJ

Honestly Just wait till you get to see this new Northside set up... you will be on top of the racing here alright... the viewing will be something else... can't wait for the weather to fair up a bit so the guys can get cracking again... been a bit hit and miss since the turn of the year due to the various storms and the rain... Regards THJ

This was the document It just gives an overview of different track dimensions and will pull into perspective the new Workington track which is pushing 15 metres wide on the straights and 19 metres wide on the bends and an overall length just millimetres short of 300 metres (at present) Regards THJ

Hope the bus is fitted with Air Con Geoff...

Funny that cos I'm on Google Chrome and Windows 10 and it would not load in any format... and I tried .Pdf .Png .JPeg and even as a Word doc and nothing... Seems a bit of an anti climax now... Never mind thanks mods and hopefully some people find it interesting... Regards THJ

Cheers Phil What was I doing wrong? Oops might have spoken to soon as I still cant open it? Regards John

No I know I have asked for help off the mods but nothing happened yet however I will persevere Regards THJ

If Vlad the Invader keeps on rolling there could be an abundance of riders available for; if not the start of the season; soon there after; because Poland are not exactly sitting secure at the minute are they. Regards THJ

I am aware this subject interests a great deal of people and I am not sure if this upload has worked but here goes Following on from what is happening at Northside this will hopefully give some comparisons Regards THJ Sorry having difficulty in getting this uploaded and I have asked for some assistance... lets see where I get with it Regards John Track Dimensions.pdf Track Dimensions.docx

The Maryport Kid makes good and gets a chance in the GP's... Take a bow Dan Bewley and all the very best wishes for next season... Regards John

The latest measurements hot off the press (and I will be back round with the wheel next week to confirm it again) Inside Line on the kerb 299 metres Outside Line on the boards 410 metres Straights 13.5 metres wide Bends 18.5 metres wide Camber on Bends 8% All subject to (minor) change of course but its about where it is going to be... So if the riders want to go round the boards they will really have to go full throttle at it and wind it on... Should be a really fast track with plenty of racing and passing lines that is for sure... Here's hoping... Regards THJ

298 metres and the same width as Belle Vue on the straights and the bends with an 8% camber on each bend... Regards THJ

Not quite the picture was taken on bend one looking down the straight to bend four... the bends are banked slightly... but ya right it is a flat as a Japs feyess... as me Maryport Marra says... Yes he has but ask permission first just so he knows who is there... don't want any mishaps.... Regards THJ

Just had some very sad news today when informed of the passing of long time Comets (Meteors and Diamonds) fan and sponsor Sue Roper RIP Aunty Sue.... Thoughts are with her family at this very sad time... Regards John

Honestly I don't want to get embroiled in this however the original company went through a Voluntary Liquidation not because there were any "funds to extract" but because a massive "fraud" had been committed (whether intentional or by accident) and once this came to light there were only two feasible options open to the person who had taken the business on and they were to either pay the VAT man what he was owed (circa £160k) and keep trading or liquidate the company (voluntarily) and then the debt to the VAT man becomes like a frozen debt for the VAT man to pursue through other means. There is an awful lot of legal jargon/technicalities to go through which I wont bore everyone with however lets just say Liquidating a company isn't just a straightforward formality as the person who owns the company being liquidated still has to do things by the book or they end up being blacklisted and stopped from being a company director again until they put things right or at least do things correctly when closing the business.

Dear Mr Copperbottom I know you are a slow reader that's why I type extra slow so you can keep up... What do you want Jam on it.... Oh wait a minute... av just tumbled being a Jam Eater that's exactly what you are after... crafty sod... Hope you had a great day Jenga... compliments of the season to you and yours... Regards THJ

The request is in... let's see what happens... Regards A rather tipsy but not yet drunk THJ

Oh dear... okay a give in... Like a said in my first post it's complicated... if I could be ars3d I could stick the government links up showing you why you can't do what was proposed earlier... but at the end of the day In not that bothered and what's in a name... whatever is done to support your team it just needs to be done right and proper... Now after a near 4 hour stint wrapping presents I'm going to have a couple of large whiskies and chill till the Turkey is ready to go in... All the best... Regards THJ PS Now that the bird is in the oven and I am off to kip what I would like to add is this... I fully agree with the comments made by @Brian Buck and especially where he pointed out that "the title of this topic is in itself offensive and should be changed". as it does Brum and their new promotion no favours whatsoever... just my opinion however good luck to Brum their fans and promotion for next season and the New Year... if the heading doesn't get changed to something more sensible it's probably best if this post is just left to fade away...

If a Dog is born in a stable you don't call it a horse do you... The reformed supporters club isn't a Trust it's as simple as that... legally under the definition of a Trust it just doesnt meet the criteria it can't... However I accept the premise that you have an entity called a Trust... Merry Christmas Regards THJ

You now have to be very careful what you call things and it might be called a Trust however as @PotteringAround has correctly pointed out regards Charitable Status... what you don't have is a Trust in the legal sense of the word and if someone wanted to be really pedantic (Is there anyone out there in the Speedway world like that?) you could face a challenge... so you may call it a Trust however it isn't as it is a Trust in name only... its a minefield I have trudged through on many occasion and most recently in September this year and we were advisef that we should not even call it a Trust... look as I originally posted its complicated and comes with so much red tape its not worth calling a Supporters Club a Trust... which is basically what you have described.... Although I will give you this there is something comforting in calling it a Trust and it does sound more professional however I would strongly recommend getting the Clubs (your Trust) articles notarized as we now live in a very litigious society... Correct and I have been led to believe you shouldn't even be using the word trust as the "Speedway" supporters club can't be one (a Trust) in the sphere in where it is being used... misrepresentation I believe... however if it is not being used for fraudulent purposes I personally can't see what the problem is... but I'm not a lawyer... Although I am a member of a sporting trust for a local junior football team that has charitable status and is a Registered Trust. Regards THJ

Honestly No you can't for Speedway and if I could be ars3d to go through it I would explain fully but I can't so believe what you want however we have been fully down this road with the Friends of Workington Speedway that was gonna be a Trust but ended up as a Supporters Club basically but the FOWS pumped thousands into Worky Speedway and became their largest sponsor after the promotion itself and the proposed Newcastle Supporters Trust that will probably end up a Newcasle Supporters Club but with a beefed up set of articles of association to make sure it's run a bit more proffesionally... When you get bored over Christmas do your homework... you can't have a Trust inputting into a Speedway Team... and yes the confusion is in the name that's why you should stay away from it... the next one will be let's start a Debenture and that is another one that confuses the B'Jesus out of folk... Regards THJ
