Hi Luke, not quite what I menat...
ALL clubs sat around th table at the emeeting and this was discussed and agreed by all, then "aferwards" some clubs have come away and are going against what had been agreed. Clubs dont get regionals just because they ask or want one, they earn one and the whole process of who gets one (or two) where they will e, when they will be gets discussed and voted on at the meeting by all the clubs. It is no good agreeing to oen thing at a meeting then doing another things at a later date.
As for the financial gain, for me enough is enough, I know of one club in particular who have stated to me personally that the club in question MUST run every week for financial reasons only and to me that is not what the consideration should be it should be about supporting the rest of the region and the other clubs in it, after all each club wants the racers from "every other club" to come to them on their regional dates, so why should they not support the others when it is their turn.....
But once more, dont shoot the messenger, anyone not happy either take it up with YOUR club (who agreed to these arrangements) OR the regional rep, I (as well as Tony) am only conveying what I know (and have agreed to on behalf of my own club and its members - we will NOT be running meetings on any other regional date)
