The Hallowed TurfWe have a mound of dirt. Now all the track needs is a little protection.I am no landscaper, but I think a 1 tonne digger for 1 day. 2 to 3 people. 200 to 250 meters of small fencing and a big roll of chicken wire should do the trick. This fence is about 1/2 meter. ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Picket-Fenc...0%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ) That would be ideal. This will cover the existing outer edge of the track and a bit more and allow it to change and move helping areas of grass to recover. I have seen PVC fencing, perfect as it will not require maintenance. But it's getting it cheaply. Super cheap! I can get a digger down there for a day for less than a £100 (including delivery) That will do the 200 meter trench to bed the chicken wire in (that will then fix to the picket fence.) Thoughts, ideas, possible super deals on trade pricing etc etc would be very much welcomed.

Hi All,
I have my own 1.5 tonne digger old girl but is good at its job, so no cost to the club.... Also i should be able to get the orange pvc fence super cheep and the metal trench pins to hold it up, The only thing i can not give at the moment is my time but the rest i will sort out f.o.c if i can. Just give me a few days on the fence. Paul. |

First it was the Chinese wanting to keep out the Mongolians. Then it was the Romans trying to keep the pesky Scots out. Later civilisation decided all it took was an imaginary iron curtain. Going back to those dynasties and rulers that hung on for a lot longer than any modern society, I believe it's only right we use tangible objects like fences to keep out the marauding track devouring wabbits. I tried an imaginary fence but using only a fraction of the brain power those furry little stew swimmers overcome this fallible fortress and I feel that semi drastic measures are required. So here it is. A 1/2 meter fence around the track (Easy to step over). Rather then having to bed the posts to far in and the headache this would cause, we drag a trench, no more than 1/2 meter deep and 10cm wide. Slide in chicken wire, bend it inwards - toward the track. Pack down the earth. Drive the fences into the ground along the line of chicken wire. Fix chicken wire to rear of fence. Jobus donus

On top of keeping the wabbits out. We can have sponsors pinned to it. Make the track look a little like a race track.

Might be able to fit a Panzer or two in the wooded area as well, maybe a pill box by the gate

I think we may have stumbled upon something here!
Lawford Tank Club. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-12-WORLDS...0%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Will Andy be dissapointed that he now has to bin the existing development and start again?

I'm game for it, I could do away with the death ray with that thing, it would be obsoleted by the whopping cannon on the front!
