The track is open most Sunday
afternoons and all Bank holiday Mondays during the summer and gives rides to
the public at only 20p. Also during the summer a number of specials are run
for school party's that are visiting the Hall & country park.
Most Tuesday's through out the year there is a working party
to do running repairs & improvements to the track & site. Also a lot of
talking and tea drinking takes place during the afternoons
and all members are welcome.
