How many people 'do' other sports nationally..?
 
It says on the BRCA homepage that there are around 15,000 UK racers..
Is this accurate do you think? and how many bashers would there be on top of this..
Also how does it compare to other sports accross the UK? Has anyone got any figures? I just wondered what we were comparable to numbers wise...:confused:

Off the top of my head Archery has 30,000 archers in the UK. That's the ones registered for target archery at least (GNAS/Archery GB), there is field archers as well but I've no idea on their numbers it would be a lot less than target though.

Out of that 30,000 how many wear tights :eh?:

mole2k 02-12-2008 10:59 PM

Not sure on the exact number :p

Kecky 02-12-2008 11:11 PM

Aaarrgghh.......never mind :thumbsup:

Somebody at work is in a Yacht club, and he was telling me the other week just how many yacht clubs there are - its must be more popular than I gave it credit for. Forgot the numbers now though :lol:

Kecky 02-12-2008 11:16 PM

Chris,
There are more sailing/yacht clubs on the wirral, than there are speed cameras in Preston :o
Now that is saying something :lol:

mole2k 02-12-2008 11:24 PM

There would be a lot of yacht clubs around the place, I do sailing as well as archery and rc cars :P. My local yacht club has 300 odd members alone.

Depends what you are fishing for, most people think..sitting on bank rod in hand staring at a float but trust me that isnt the case there is alot more to specimen fishing.
