Hi All
My Names Denzil (Hawkeye3guns on Forum).
I am looking to form a RC Tank Club Based in the Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK. I have had past exsperiance in running a RC model club (28 years as a member and secretary of a Model Boat club).
I have got enquirys in to 2 local Social halls in grantham that have a open floor space of 10m wide x 15m long and then have tables around the outside. Both halls have a bar and kitchen and are availible to hire as an extra for a small price.
The idea is to hire a hall on the first Sunday of each month for a meet and / or battle.
At present I am looking at a cost of opproxiamate £50 -£60 hire price each month. Thats from 09.00am till 16.00pm.
We would also need a public liability Issurance in order to cover ourselves against any mishaps if we was to hold displays or damage to property,personnel.
If enough people/Tankers are intrested, I would envisage a small annual membership fee ( to cover Issurance costs and admin) this could be as low as a £5.00 (depends on Issurance cost) also I can canvas our local model shops and quite often if you are a member of a local club if you produce a membership card they will give discount).
The Idea would then be to charge a fee on the meeting day in order to cover the hall hiring. As an example ,Hall = £60 to hire so if 12 people attended then it would be a £5 each. for the day.
Grantham is just off the A1 (about 1mile) and easily accessible from both the south or north.
So my question is are there enough people out there in the surrounding areas that are intrested in forming a local club.
You can contact me through this forum (if allowed by the admin I'm not sure of the rules) or ring me on my mobile 07939815063 or E-mail denzil@ison57.freeserve.co.uk, and I will start a list of intrested people to see if we can move forward on this.
regards Denzil
