At the end of the day every year there will be a "debate" about traveling. The way I look at it, is if you want to race you will be prepared to travel regardless. If people want to travel and do the North West Regionals, let that be the case.
However The North East always goes through ups
and downs
, like all other Regions, and therefore the people who want to see the North East work, will make it work.
Ive been attendance to North East Regionals on and off for 18 years, and will remember the days when you had to book in advance to get into Regionals, and also seen it when its at its lowest.
This year has seen the Nationals being very popular, and maybe thats impacted the numbers we are seeing, but this is a plus for the BRCA and the Sport!
I know people from other Regions who have to drive 2hrs to get to a Regionals and you never really see this mentioned in other threads!
