dj350z 2,266 Posted November 16, 2012 They were actually given the land by a Devon County Council Department many years ago, friends have had experience in the past of negotiations over church freehold farm rents, they always want more rent than a commercial company would. They may want an inflated amount but if people/organisations are not prepared to pay over the odds then they wont get what they want. I do appreciate however, with a speedway facility, it is a completely different matter as you cant just walk away and lay down a track elswhere just like that. I do sympathise with your plight. Is the deadline of this weekend (the BSPA AGM) an immovable date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moverley 1 Posted November 16, 2012 I should think the real reason the college was asking so much is that they've got a huge financial black hole to fill since their former bursar embezzled over a million quid last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
