Another week gone and another week closer to our air fence being put in place. We now have very minor works to complete to the infrastructure before the air fence can be installed.

Those final works will be completed at the weekend and that's just as well as the air fence is due to be installed next week. As a Club we are very excited about how all this has developed over the winter and look forward to seeing the finished article next week.

Final preparations are also going into our big fund raiser on Friday night at Meggetland, a Brief History of Speedway Racing in Edinburgh. An enormous amount of work has gone into the production of this show, far in excess of even the biggest speedway meetings we present. The last two remaining tickets for the event remain available as we write.

Although Meggetland has a big car park supporters should be aware that we expect this to fill very early on as there are other events taking place on the sports fields surrounding the Club House will also require car parking. Our best advice is to arrive as close as possible to 6.30pm when the doors of the hall open to be sure of a parking space adjacent to the Club House. There is ample parking in the area but if you arrive late you may be forced to park on the main road.

Fund raising efforts have continued to progress the Fund and we now stand at £15718.90. May we offer our thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way to this magnificent sum.
