Title: Andover Update
Post by: AL on March 11, 2009, 10:07 PM: The new track is really starting to take shape now.. Rik Forte has been at the track all this week, and has said that he will now work all weekend also :coolsmiley:

We have a great work party last Saturday with loads of people making it much easier .. With the fact that most of us will be at Gosport on Sunday , we have another Work party planned for this Saturday .. Going to involve mainly whacker plating down toping etc ..

We want to make the most of Rik + Machines being on site, this weekend ..
Please help if you can :daumenhoch:

See you Sat

I have only ever done 1 BMX race in my life , and that was the dads Race at Hayes acouple of years ago ..

I am still OK on a MX / Enduro ( Motorbike ) but hats of to your BMX guys , jumping with no suspension ( forks ) .. Feels weird / bloody scary to me ???

We had a full on work party today, 9.00- 6.00 :shocked:.. Everyone worked so hard today, inc the Mums loading the wheelbarrows etc ..

Didnt have time to take any pics ... Most of the Andover crew is at Gosport on sunday, but Chris MIngo and Sean Smith are doing anothe rfull day with Rik Forte at the track if anyone not racing and wnats to pop up and do a bit ?

Will try and get some pics up soon ..

Post by: AL on April 02, 2009, 08:27 PM: NO....

But if all the people who keep asking when is it going to be open actually came along and lent a hand it would be open a lot quicker ;)

Sorry to sound blunt , but you can only spend so many hours on a the end of a whacker plate !!

Andover parents and riders have worked flat our every weekend, rain or shine .. We have spent the first part of the budget 15k, and are waiting for the go ahead from council , to get second wave of money to finish off.. didnt help that we had the old container broken into and our generator and hired whacker plates stolen a couple of weeks ago >:(

With us away at Derby over Easter... Next big work party is set for weekend 18th 19th April ... I am sure if we said the track was open on this date we would have loads of people finding time come along ;D... So please if you spare a couple of hours put the date in your diary and pop along and help us with final topping etc ..

With a bit of luck we should be somehwere close to opening then :daumenhoch: By the way the Track is looking the dogs Bollox !
