DMS you might have hit the nail on the head there, I suppose it does take more effort to support a local club, but I do wonder if there will also be a lack of response by those who don't want the 'hassle' in this thread. Maybe they'll listen now the likes of Bury are looking at closure that what we say as clubs will happen if noone supports it actually will happen, they can't run on nothing, becomes a bit more 'real' doesn't it.
DCM this is why we're looking at the 'investment' for the future of the club by buying these cars, we understand people, especially parents, don't want the initial outlay to find out they don't like it (I have 2 children and know how 'faddy' they are) Then hopefully those who are interested in racing regularly will eventually move on to buying their own.
We do usually have racing every week but there has been a few dates this year, due to venue closure we haven't been able to open, couple of weeks there just wasn't enough attended, at present we have about 1/3 to 1/2 of the members racing we had in October last year. Ok we're still doing better than some clubs but knowing how much effort goes in, it's wondering what to do next to try to gain support and not face what Bury are now.
**Maybe I should have posted this in general, if someone would like to move it**
