Hi Bill,
I didn't misread the post, I mis-typed my reply (my reply should have also read
were). Maybe I should re-read before I post
Back then a few of the Worksop lot didn't like the travel to the North, these were the organisers and hence my later point about them moving to the Mid-East. The majority of the club and it's remaining benefactors were p###ed that they moved regions. At that time the Mid east had 2 or 3 tracks (Blyth and Holbeach). Their region died a death and has recently only really come back to life with successful clubs like Broxtowe and West Bridgeford coming into their region.
I'd hate to see our region fall into the same trap and start having declining numbers due to lack of rounds.
Geographically. (This is not a gripe). It's just fact.
When Jarrow was added to the N.E. Region is 2008. It can be noted it is 29.7 miles from the previous most northerly (consistent) venue of Teeside. (Via roads suggested by google maps).
{Removal of Bent's Park} if there is not to be a regional there this year as some are suggesting.
If Blyth is added to the N.E. Calendar this year. It can be noted it is 41.6 miles from the previous most southerly venue of Batley. (Via roads suggested by google maps)
Only 11.9 miles difference (23.8 miles total). Or to put it in real terms < £5 in fuel in the most un-economical car.
Shall we let the dates & venues come out and maybe look back at how it all went at the end of the year.
Other people have pointed out it is a hobby, without clubs/regions putting on a series it won't be a hobby, our cars will be dust-gathering.
It isn't bickering, it's airing of opinions, which is what forums are for, as well as writing utter b####ks and winding up your mates!
I'm done on this topic.
