NO MARSHALL, NO RIDE - NO EXCEPTIONS!!

NEWNHAM APPEAL
The following message has been received from Rachel, (of Riverside), concerning the future of Newnham.  As I understand it, one of the main contentions is that the Newnham track has 'recently' been enhanced to include jumps.  Most of us will know this is not so and the course has been pretty much as it now is for the past 8 years, (to my knowledge), or more.  What is needed is proof and/or statements.  So dig out your photo's or whatever you have - perhaps someone has pictures of Tommy Searle, for instance, when he was in the Small Wheels

Rachel's Message
We are now going to do a written appeal for Newnham.  The council are arguing that the track was originally only a dirt track with no jumps so we need to prove the jumps have been there for a substantial amount of time.  Can you assist with this by going back through your own photos or maybe putting a message on the EKSSC website asking for help with this please?  We only have 2 - 3 weeks to obtain this info so everyone's help would be extremely helpful.  Alternatively,  can we invite anyone to do an email in a statement form to substantiate that the jumps have been established over a long period of time.  My email address is racheltwohoots@aol.com and I can forward them on to our planning consultant.


TEAM EVENT 2008
As in previous years, the top three riders in each group after the 8th Round of the Summer Championship has been selected, together with one wild card rider per group.  This year's Team Captain is Ken Hornby.

RIVERSIDE MX APPEAL - From the Banks Family
We have received the decision on our planning appeal this week and unfortunately the Inspector has dismissed our appeal.
However, the Inspector has given us 12 months to relocate but, in the meantime we will take further advice on challenging this decision in the High Court, which can be extremely costly
Therefore, we are still open for business as normal until further notice.
We will post a copy of the Inspector's decision on the website shortly so you can read for yourselves how unfair his decision was.
Once again we thank everyone for their tireless support and we will keep you updated on our progress.
