True, but then you need clubs to hold regionals and nationals don't you?
If everyone runs around the country chasing the next big meeting, no club gets a decent turn out except for those meetings. and they close.
Then its regionals on school fields because no one can afford a permanent track.
Case to point in my area Macctrack (only permanent indoor venue) closed, and Bury who have a great outdoor track struggle most weeks. There will be a huge turn out for next weekends regional, everyone will enjoy the track, then they'll disappear not to return till the next regional. Somehow the organisers have to keep the place afloat until then!
