Here are some pictures of the lads hard at
work clearing ditches and laying drainage pipes to clear away
surface water, this surface water during the winter causes the
tarmac to lift and break away resulting in pot holes, the fact that
the tarmac is very old in places does not help.
A few of the companies that use the place for testing have
complained about the holes, We have therefore implemented a repair
program over the summer months, drainage ditches have been cleared
and we have put down 25 tonnes of tarmac, it's amazing how much
these little holes swallow, all major pothole have now been filled.
The more the place is used the more money we have to fill the
holes, (tarmac is better though) the more the place is used
the more holes there are to fill !!!!!!!!

Repairing the Ranges 2007.
During 2005 and 2006 we undertook some patching work at the venue, but it was becoming obvious that large sections of the road required full re-surfacing. Late last year the decision was taken to allocate club funds to a larger scale repair scheme, as a part of this scheme we also decided to go out and look for match funding and grants.
Many letters and e-mails were sent out seeking help. We were successful in obtaining some match funding from The Welsh Assembly Government”s Motorsport Initiative, and grant funding via The Motor Sports Association Club Development Fund. With this funding in place we were able to forge ahead with a repair programme costing £16,500.00.
Tenders were sought from local surfacing contractors, and after careful evaluation Evans Brothers, Brithdir, Dolgellau were selected to do the work. Just under 2000 square metres of tarmac has been laid, allowing approximately 650 metres of the roads to be resurfaced, together with additional works to patch and fill any remaining potholes.
The final phase of the work was completed in good time before the first rally of 2007 at the Ranges: The Clwydian Cars Stages.
We are indebted and grateful to the following for their help and support during the repair works;
• The Welsh Assembly Government”s Motorsport Initiative, with particular thanks to Mr Allan James.
• The Motor Sport Association”s Club Development Fund, with particular thanks to Mr Allan Dean – Lewis.
• All Motor Clubs, Regional Associations, Rally Teams and Manufacturers who provided us with letters of support to back our grant applications.
• Evans Brothers, Y Goedlan, Brithdir, Dolgellau 01341 423131, who undertook the re-surfacing work on our behalf.
Some pictures follow showing some before and after shots of the work.
