Just a suggestion guys. My son and I were in a local Buggy Club (1/10th etc) and although they had their own outdoor venue for racing, they were looking for a suitable indoor venue, and prices being quoted were ridiculous. Eventually they found an old industrial unit that was up for rent, approached the owners ( a major pharmaceutical company) and when they explained what they wanted it for were given the place
for a peppercorn rent.This was on the understanding that if a potential buyer wanted the building, they would have to move out.
They then worried about the council tax etc, and when they approached the council and once again explained the intended use, they agreed it would be beneficial for the youngsters, etc, and
again charged a peppercorn amount...amazing!!
This was several years ago, and they are STILL using the building!!
Just a thought, why not look at buildings with a decent floor area that's not being used, and with our iffy weather it could be an all year round location.
OR, why not approach the r/c buggy clubs etc, and ask if we could use their facilities. The humps and bumps would be ideal for the tanks, and they would act as a bit of alternative action between the racing????
