Bit of a late reply but worth a look below  Decent facilities, getting into the short term bays is ok, expect a long wait for one of the permemant bays. www.n-e-r-c.co.uk/htdocs/index_files/page0001.htmlGood crack, kettle is always hot, open days twice a year but new members always welcome to turn up for a quick tour. Next open day - Classic Car Show - 4th September 2011  |

wouldnt hold your breath with regard to the NERC, as I have heard of people being on the waiting list for years for a bay (don't know about the short term bays though) Sad but true, I've heard of (and seen) projects making little to no progress for months. When I was a member I heard of two guys who alternated the use of a bay and so have collectively had it for years doing several projects. One guy who worked abroad for several months at a time, leaving his project "in storage". The waiting list is often "manipulated" so better liked newer members are bumped up the list and as I was told "those who contribute a lot are more likely to see a bay". Basically it's a "jobs for the boys club". Sad but true. |

Don't believe some of the bulls*it posted on here about the NERC, go along yourself and see how things are run. It's been going for 40 years and has over 200 members, so things can't be that bad. It has shot blasting facilities, a paintshop, numerous metal working tools such as an English Wheel, shrinker/stretcher and swager plus welding gear and a 4-poster ramp most of which there is no charge for members to use. There is also a car trailer, bike trailer and a dedicated bike repair area. The members come from all walks of life so it is definitely not a toffs club and no way is it run on a "jobs for the boys" basis.
The club own their premises and the surrounding field, all down to the hard graft of the membership and the "ancestral committee" so if anyone is interested just turn up on any Saturday and there will someone only too pleased to show you round.

If the set up didn't suit you then fair enough, but don't go round bad mouthing the place talking a load of cr*p. See andrewmdurham's thread on his herald coupe. Guess where it is being done, and he's only been in the club for a year. |
