Looks like there would be sufficient interest if they were on Sundays. I don't have a problem with Sunday, my wife might
My original logic for wanting club level racing locally was that there must be a demand from people who don't want to compete in regional nor national level, or at least not initially. Attracting new people straight into regional competition level must be tricky, so I guess holding meeting on the weekends of national events wouldn't exclude many, if any, as was mentioned.
Looking at this year's calendar, it would have been possible to hold at least 1, and often 2, Sunday club meetings every month without regional clashes, throughout the whole year.
The offers of timing equipment is encouraging, it would make life somewhat easier.
