A top job also done by Craig and Caleb from Spoke- re video of Craig riding the Bull Run! With video and the Hutt News feature plus more and more now looking at BAMBA in Facebook etc., both BAMBA and this track have received great exposure! 1: Same sign design \/ colours that previously made for both Bull Run and Bull-a-Varde. 2: New sign, again same colours etc.: The usual BAMBA logo, A4 size, Left hand green arrow and with the following wording e.g.: 3: New sign. Size A3. In ACM. The map of Bull Run loop. As per Map done by Paul. Paul to arrange the above signage and liaise with Jeremy. Logging Update<\/span><\/p>\n Wayne and Jeremy from GWRC jointly advised us that the actual logging will be completed by the end of January. Gear etc will then be removed and the site handed back over to GWRC around the middle of February 2014. BAMBA will then need to scope out the area and then proceed from there with the required MOU being signed off and then completing the necessary AEE\u2019 before any track work can commence<\/p>\n Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)<\/span><\/p>\n Paul completed the draft in late November 2013 and submitted this to Wayne at GWRC. Since then both Wayne and Paul have been working together to get the draft to the final stage so it can be completed. Paul hopes to complete the final required changes as soon as possible and then the MOU can be signed off hopefully before the end of February 2014.<\/p>\n Pump Track<\/span><\/p>\n The possibility of this type of track being built, in the grass area prior to Stratton street car park, was raised by both Wayne and Jeremy from GWRC. It was felt that it would be a great draw card for the park and bring in more families to the area. Craig knew of the right people who build these and liked the idea also, but he felt that BAMBA did not have the required man power \/ resources to complete such a task. Craig agreed that he would speak to the right people and would find out possible costings, etc. from them.<\/p>\n Baked Beans Bend to Belmont Trig<\/span><\/p>\n Concerns were yet again raised to Wayne, this time from Craig and also one other who was present, Nick, that this track is now very poor for MTB use. The surface is poor and the corners are not great either. The lower section is also of a concern as to how it will be what will be constructed \/ completed!

\nOverall we have been receiving good feedback.<\/p>\n
\nIt was felt by both Craig and Paul that we needed to tweak and improve our signage in the park for this track and others present agreed. The committee agreed to have some additional signage made up. 3 signs to be produced. Consisting off:<\/p>\n
\n– But a single sign with both on it!
\nA4 size and having a green arrow \u201cstraight ahead\u201d follow the Bull-a-Varde info and a \u201cLeft hand\u201d arrow following the Bull Run info.
\n(This is to be placed at the start of the Bull Run so no confusion as to which route goes where)<\/p>\n
\n(To be placed on a post near the gate on right hand side of hill road – after the Farm house!)<\/p>\n
\n(To be placed on GWRC board at Hill Road Car park).<\/p>\n
\n(Paul will also do an A4 Laminated version of sign No3 to be placed at start of Bull-a-Varde!)<\/p>\n
\nWayne stated that it is not in his control nor can he unfortunately have the issues amended!<\/p>\n
