QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Feb 13 2011, 10:35 AM) I posted it just after it happened, I certainly only heard about it through text.
Just thought some of those who know the racecourse well might have had an explanation for what the cause was, seen as that bit of the facility had not been worked on in 30 years!!! 20, according to the racecourse management who have explained how it happened....

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Feb 13 2011, 10:55 AM) I read the bit on the BBC, that's where I got 30 years from etc. Are you giving credence to the BBC over the credence of our Esteemed NWN? You will be doubting the accuracy of the reporters next or pointing out the spelling mistakes???

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Feb 13 2011, 11:09 AM) Not at all, I just didn't read the nwn news pages this morning!!! As a local wannabee figurehead, that is, strategically, a bad error..... Local first for local politics, surely?

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Feb 13 2011, 11:45 AM) I can't say that NRC has anything to do with local politics!!! I support the Racecourse, and it's a fantastic asset for the District, but I was simply asking if anyone might be able to explain what the cause was. You raised the issue, which happened at the Racecourse (a private company). Surely politics is in everything? Politics
