Pactice Sessions During Covid 19 Lock Down

Due to government restrictions being relaxed we are now able to offer limited practice sessions for club members only.  Please visit the events section of the website for more information on booking in and the terms and conditions associated with your booking.  

 

Deerdale Off Road Litter 1.8.2020

The farmer who we lease the land the track is on has commented on the amount of litter left at the track and surrounding area and was disgusted to see a used face mask.

So on Thursday this week I went down to the track to cut the grass and pick up all the litter. Then 24 hours later we were at the track again to fit some new Astro to find the pit lane scattered with rubbish again.

 Drivers, pit crew and visitors seem to think it is ok to leave there litter behind for us to clean up.

 We have no facilities to dispose litter so we have to collect it up and take it home to put in our personal bins.

 It is a condition on the lease from the farmer that the track and surrounding area should be kept in a clean and tidy condition. Our track is located within working fields which the farmer frequents regularly and has made a comment.

 Our booking in system records who is at the track on any day for covid traceability so culprits can be traced and warned.

 So could you take your empty coffee cups, McDonald’s wrappers empty drinks cans ,fuel bottles etc home with you.

 Please note the yellow buckets of sand under the pit lane benching are there to extinguish any unfortunate Lipo fire and not for throwing you butt ends and empty cans in.

 Any one caught littering will be warned and on further incidents there membership cancelled. Let’s keep our track and surrounding area clean and tidy, OR WE COULD LOOSE IT.
