JULY 2005 - THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB

Recently all the members received an e-mail from our chairman - Ian Finch - explaining the proposal for the improvement of the club that he had made to the Head Master of the school - Mr Sarell. The basis of the proposal was the construction of a permanent track and possibly a race control unit. We eagerly await Mr Sarells response.

From the e-mail - "I am sure that if we could build our own tarmac track it would attract more drivers to compete, we could then hold open trophy meetings which would generate income back to the school something which is lacking at the moment with the surface we have had for over 10 years. A purpose built track would also attract  more pupils to have a go at the sport which not only caters for electrical and mechanical skills, but also social skills as well."

There were some solid plans for promotion of the club laid down at the meeting. 

1.To address all year 7's in September so that they will be aware of the Car Club and when and where it is,and also encourage more to attend with the possible use for a short period of loan cars
 
2. To have use of a locked glass unit by reception to show Radio Control cars and equipment to reinforce the Car Club theme, and for contents to be covered by the School insurance.

If anyone has an old car that could be used as a loan car for new people to try out at a meeting then please let Ian know via e-mail.

Quote Ian : "anything that we could loan for a new comer to try (not destroy) would be a help!"

I will be providing a complete car but may possibly be short of radio equipment - so please if you can lend anything then let Ian know.
