Thanks to Matt, John and the rest of the crew. Good stuff.
Darren - Random, I have been to some Regionals before and seen some random results!!!!
Instead of publicly moaning about the event, we should be supporting the Stone in difficult conditions under difficult circumstances. I am sure it was a very tricky decision to make the call. Let the guy's know at the time, then move on.

Paul, I am not moaning at all (or arguing), I am on the side of the club here, Matt has asked for opinions of those who "disagreed" with the cancellation, I thought it was the right choice.....
I could not tell you who was in the top ten and who was not tbh, but by the comments I heard yesterday, several people who would "expect" to be in there were'nt due to DNF's, hence the word "random" for the results...
What I am stating is that at the clubs meeting we sit down and discuss a date for cancelled events, so if they get abandoned, we can re-run on that date. We have done this and now are not using the date that is set, rule 19.3 from John below states for regionals this can be done
"
Regional events can be rescheduled (subject to 6.5) at the discretion of the Regional Rep. If an event is
rescheduled to use a date not originally specified for any Class, then the number of events to count for the
Regional Championship in that Class will be reduced accordingly, to allow competitors to achieve the
minimum number of events using the original dates only."
People would rather race, than not race, so this "extra" meeting would allow them to race. Speaking to Matt, he "did" want to use the extra date and re-run but was told he could'nt. despite the rules for "regionals" saying it is at the discretion of the club and rep....
It was discussed at the time and I have spoke with Matt Owen (breifly) today about it too.
Matty, as I have mentioned the clubs agree on a date to "re-run", the "decision" was taken yesterday and will stand and be final I am sure, but it did not need to be in my opinion, it "could" have been re-run on the date set aside. For those who dont get what I refer to here is the booking in form (
http://www.stotfoldmcc.co.uk/files/R..._form_2011.pdf) look at the top right underneath the dates, it reads -
"Please note. In the event of a rescheduled meeting
August 21st has been allocated."
