Tsunami Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, Sunday is the last day now to get things in place for the start of the new season. We are having a first fix of the air fence, but there is many other jobs which need to be completed before we can say we are ready for press and Practice next weekend. I hope everyone makes the effort this Sunday(Ben Fund attendees apart) to attend, and it's not too late for some to make an appearance. Weather is great on Sunday and we start as usual at 9.30am. Hope to see you all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well, we got it done and the airfence is in place at Brough Park with only minor snags. Thank you Colin Meredith for the help and advice, and a great big thank you to all the people who turned up when we needed them. Some first timers including a Redcar fan who has move up to Newcastle. Overwhelmed with the number who came and, as a result of that, we got all the jobs that were outstanding. Had a great day for it with the rain holding off, the sun shining and 13 degrees, fantastic.I'm a lot happier now. Looking forward to the Press and Practice next Sunday and Monday.

HadrianDog Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 A big thank-you also and a hope our fence aint the hideous colour of that at the STMP PLEASE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) A big thank-you also and a hope our fence aint the hideous colour of that at the STMP PLEASE Thanks to you both. Our fence is mainly blue and black with strips of white. Newcastle Speedway have now released Steve Brock's photos of it(on Facebook at the moment) and I think you will agree it looks superb. What with the smoother track, grass edge moved in about 2 foot and the chamfered green edging, the place is looking a treat. Just the concreting now for the standing area for the start parade.

diamond@heart Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just looked at the photos on Facebook and the air fence and track look amazing, don't think I have seen it look as good in a long time. Well Done to everyone who has helped from one very grateful fan, it is the hard work you guys put in that goes a long way to enable the Diamonds to race week in week out. I wish I could help out but just don't have the time. Really looking forward to this Sunday for the practice and then the following Sunday for the 1st match of the season. Bring it on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Looking forward to the Practice Day on Sunday, and the Press day on Monday. Both scheduled to start about Noon but usually starts a bit later. Anybody who can give a hand with the sheets on the dog track on Sunday, could they be there about 9.30am and ask for me or Ron. On the Monday, with it being a working day, we are desperate for helpers to help take the sheets off, starting probably mid afternoon about 2.30pm. As usual, the public are admitted to both sessions free of charge, but if you could help after the session on Monday, it would be greatly appreciated. With the addition of the air fence work, we urgently need more helpers every week, particularly after the meeting, and there is a free admission arrangement to all those helpers. See me or members of the promotion for details. In the evening of course, we have the Meet the Riders/Race night at the PTE club on Millers Road, Byker, and that starts at 7.30pm with the first race at 8.00pm. See ya there. Free admission and a raffle remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
