Agreed si Coe

I do Miss racing lately and having the crack with everyone there

Apparently there was lots of youngsters at the last meet which is good news

Roger and stu have shown great commitment running the club for so long and as buds says it seems to be going from strength to strength recently

Perhaps time to capatilise on the new member type?

Must be lots of people including kids that have rc cars and would like to go to a track but don't want to race necessarily or are perhaps intimidated at the thought of racing?

Maybe in summer when the new track is done an open day/run what you bring scenario may pull in more members??

Ps if I can get down to help with relocation I will

Because I didn't want a super serious club (I know the Southport lads can have fun, but they are also more serious too) I wanted to have a laugh on a Sunday afternoon. Thats what we are about these days, and it seems to be working.

People who don't like us go to Southport, people who don't like Southport come to us.

In the past Bury tried to be Southport, but that doesn't work. What turned the clubs numbers around is being the exact opposite.

The way we are doesn't put off people - it puts off people who would prefer to be somewhere else anyway.
