    Sounds like a plan, but taking it one step further back... is their an option for a swapsie arrangement that would benefit everyone?

    I.e. FROSTY takes some of his spare time and invests that in doing whatever for NZ Racing - promotional work, repairs, training, sourcing parts or whatever... and in return NZ racing throws up a few bill boards to Advertise his business. Then when there's enough customers and sales hecan afford to put on a part timer and have things scale up from there. It's a win win.

    The advice is sound to concentrate on getting more customers into your yard but I find it hard to believe that anyone is just sitting and aiting for customers to swan on in... especially a business owner... during these tight times.

    If it suits - maybe you guys should consider working together on this?

    Just chucking ideas on the table for consideration - not saying it's the right.. or the wrong way.

    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Maybe just step back for 10 months until you actually have the time to do something?

    I hear you - just chucking ideas out there. Hell - if you do the mail out that could free someone else to put the bails out... etc

Maybe partner up with someone, they can be at the track at club level when you can’t.
    Shaun ,
    The south Island clubs have an excellent training programme in place and i feel you would be just the person to bring this idea north.
    Many years ago Nick Reator not sure of spelling was paid by mnz to design and implement a training programme ,it worked really well and the office must still have the modules for it ,Sadly when Nick moved on , it appeared to fall into one of the cracks . Im not going to call you an ex -racer because i believe you always will have the fire to go out on the track but you have the ability to make a diffrence and pass on your knowledge.
    MNZ is not making the use of your abilities!
    You are a person committed to giving the riders the best deal and personally id save money on the stationary bill and pay you 250 a week to acheive it

    Thank you – I do feel I need to clarify that you are actually speaking to me and not Shaun Harris? I never asked for $250.00 per week – but if it is on offer can set up a meeting with Peter Jones down South for advice and get the ball rolling? I do however feel with my time constraints that Gremlin is the better man for the job.
