Well-known member
things are looking promising to get n.e.s.a running again,its been a few years and i think we deserve it.just a few bits of red tape and hopefully we,ll be up and running. The venue we,re trying to use is kirkleatham show field,about 15mins east of the A19/A66 middlesborough,central to the north east. with luck we hope to have our first event within 2-3 weeks on a sunday,and thereafter once a month .
