havenagotahope 204 Posted December 29, 2018 You would have to say to all the free loaders do they support the club or are they there because it’s a freebie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irrespective of how much you do for the club, whether it is sponsorship or in kind, with the exception of track staff. The way to support the club is pay at the gate. While the meeting is on nobody expect riders, mechanics, team managers, promoters ???? and track staff should be in the pits area. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freebies should only be people who provide something or organise something for the club, or work on Raceday. At Newcastle we allow each genuine freeby a guest to also come in free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
