All quiet on the Velodrome front!

Hi all

I thought I would give Andrea the chance to put on any last comments but she's sorting out her bits 'n bobs to take north. On top of that, I got the short straw to try to follow her inimitable style of writing. There's no way I could match that!

There's a bit of 'do' for her tomorrow as it really is her final day. My, she'll be a hard act to follow.

You may have seen from the Velodrome Website Webcam that things are looking decidedly un-changed. The kit is a bit sensitive and whilst making it work, it sometimes throws a wobble. I will endeavor to tweak it (I'll give it a kick) tomorrow when back on duty. Hopefully, when the work actually commences you will see the changes as they happen.

It may look as though nothing is happening but we had to set the 'window' up for the job to commence and prepare for the crew to start. In a few days the first drastic cuts will be made and we should have a couple of pics of the pieces we will be selling.

Talking of which, event though Andrea will have departed by then we are still using her e-mail address for you to apply for sections of the track. So, keep looking and sending to tdo at manchestervelodrome.com (got to do it this way to try to stop the robots), 'cos once its gone, its REALLY gone.
