Please remember when sweeping the track to always sweep the surface back up the berms as this is where it has come from , if you do sweep some of the bigger stones down please barrow them away from the inside of the track to allow drainage and put them onto the pile of spare surface . Remember you are sweeping away what the track is made from .

I am currently in possesion of two bags that were left behind on the spectator bank that runs parallel to the first straight. One is a SE Racing courier bag and the other is a blue reusable Tesco shopping bag, seemingly belonging to the same person (as they were left side-by-side).
If anyone has lost these, or might know who these belong to please either pm me or contact the club via eastkentbmx @ hotmail.com. If you are able to provide a short description of the contents I will gladly find a way of returning these bags to their rightful owner.
