I do also think outdoor winter racing would be a good idea, ....if the weather was kind enough 
My personal view is we should schedule 2 meetings a month, 1 indoor and 1 outdoor. If the weather holds & outdoors happens, all well and good, if not at least the club is ticking over with a regular monthly meeting. |
This is ideal in many ways, I think we'd have to judge from the first meetings of both to see how many turn up. I can't say though how much the club would need helping put the track out and more importantly put away at the end!
As John says the indoor venue is hugely expensive, normally I believe we lose money on each club day and lucky to break even following the profits from the regional and supercup. Outdoors normally keeps us in the black but the weather has shafted us this year.
