kevind Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hi Guys, When phantassie is up and running next year there will be a yearly or daily membership deal for practise days but that will be up to Phantassie and nothing to do with me or the club.( cover for insurance and there running costs) It just a indoor place to ride. I and with the offers of some others will advise on using it for trials. It is a BMX/skate park first and foremost. But as you know you can make sections out of anything. The xmas fun training day if I can get it will be free. I dont know about costs for using the trials park near Glasgow. Ross? The comps next year will have an entry fee but that is just to cover costs like insurances and running expensise. Hope that clears upa few misunderstandings.

When do you reckon you'll get a club website up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mac Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 The trials park you are referring about in glasgow is iain shankies place( bob macgregor acadamy) I'm guessing might be wrong. Park is for motorcycle trials mainly but also cycle trials. iains put loads and loads of work into it and its still on going. plenty hand made stuff and natural rocks in there to. would be great to get a summer ride down there once the park is all finished!!!!

I am hoping that me and Johhny can get something up and running soon so we can get the scottish champs dates posted as well as other rounds of interest.

kevind Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Go onto the foresrty commission web site I think and its up on the west side of loch lomond I think. Never been there but there are pics of it. Shankies place will be better if you are on the west side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
