G'day all, i know heaps of people have sponsors and supporters but im just wondering if it may be worth having a Trades regester for the speedway community or MacGors community members to refer to if you should need particular skills to carry out work for you that might be completely speedway unrelated. For example if you needed a property re-wired or plumbing done or a house painted wouldnt you rather hire people like yourselves who love what you love. For my money i would rather use a plumber or printer who might put a bit of his profits into his racecar or bike. At the moment if i want a job done and i wanted to hire a person or company from the speedway community i have no single place to find the people i need other than to scan every stockcar/saloon/ mod etc to find a sponsors name. This could be a way of supporting the sponsors you already have or another little tool to use to help sell yourselves to a future sponsor. Would you all support this idea and would Mr Macgor possibley set up a page to accomodate this. Or perhaps set up an area where people could pay ( at a friendly speedway rate) for advertising. A friend of mine is a regestered electrician, family member drove F1 stocks in the UK, supports my snailpaced attempt to break into this sport etc, has relocated his family to live the pleasant life here in Godzone and after having payed his dues to Kiwi companies has set out on his own to recreate the business he had in England. He's doing ok, but like all other businesses he has spare capacity, hes posted on the boards in the past about various things and gets the family down to the track on a regular basis, now if you needed a sparkie, wouldnt you rather use him than someone who doesnt even know what a modified is? I reckon the crap trades people would be weeded out in short time and we would all have a place to go to find good people. any comments,,or if you happen to need an electrician now or in the near future you could pm me and i'll pass it on, ( i wont mention the name cause this is spur of the moment stuff, but you get the drift) what do you all reckon mick

That would be a good idea to get the sponsors a bit more out of being a sponsor

I would certainly spend at a business that sponsored speedway when possible.

This has been suggested before and I dismissed the idea mainly because of the extra work involved and the potential loss of advertising revenue through my speedway ads section .
I will have a think about putting up a simple text only directory
that's free to be listed in or for a cheap yearly/one off charge with
an option for more expensive display advertising .
Will have a play with the idea on the next rainy day .

prepared to pay fee tax deductible would be good for the trades and the supporters as there well be accountability
