Technique is going to vary based on the rider, conditions of the track, etc. But it is common among beginning riders to have weight back on takeoff, I'm sure most (if not all) of us have been there.

Search google to tracks around Nottingham to find your local track. But like Turbojez said, just get a bike and learn the basics. Take it easy to begin with until you're comfortable!
