South Lakes, Batley and Keighley are all much further away, so for many racers the easy, cheap route to 4 rounds is to do the Southport and Bury meets, and miss out the 'away' rounds.
Then it rains like it did for Bury's round last year and people don't come - suddenly a huge chunk of racers missing enough rounds to score.
Truth is there isn't a solution to that problem unless we ran indoors!

Sorry to pick on you Si
, Batley dont want us anymore
, Keighley is unfortunatley closed
, and i`d go to southlakes twice every year as they are very welcoming to everyone who turns up with some great phrases like 'grass is best' and 'if your ready where racing'
