I should point out my 'plan' was never intended to be a dig at Batley. Its just that, as they already have a regional for the NE if I had to drop a club to go back to 4 thats the fairest option. Dropping any of the others would leave them with no regionals at all.
However if 2wd and 4wd were on separate days, then I guess they don't actually have to be at the same club either.

I am aware that at one point Bury was in the NE region, but I wasn't involved in the club then, and its not something I'd agree with. So its not double standards - times have changed, people have changed.

It seems clear that the current situation is unworkable in the long term. I gather Keighley is pretty much booked up and thats not even till June. I think the second Southport is filling up too, in fact only Bury hasn't because we haven't started yet. This concerns me because last summer some of the people I was talking to at the 2nd Bury and Southport rounds hadn't even been racing at the start of the season. This summers new recruits are now denied entry to all the regionals as they are fully booked, and the outdoor season has only just started!

I agree that Oople may not be the best place to discuss this, but I'm afraid talking about it on Sunday isn't a great idea either. Because most of the people that feel very strongly about how things have panned out won't be there as they didn't get booked in................

Edit - Actually Stu, if you do want to talk about this on Sunday please PM me. As I'm not booked in I'm not racing but I will come over if need be to represent those people that have asked me to.
