Planning permission?

So daft maths.... you will need 300 racers through the gates at £10 a head if you had everything in place.... to raise £3k profit to send you on holiday?

I like the enthusiasm you have for the hobby, but here's some harsh truths...

No sensible club will lend or even hire a 15yr old their timing equipment... AMB kit is hard to get hold of and if it gets damaged it will cause hassle for any club running their meetings.

You won't be able to hold a meeting in an insurance company's eyes since you are not a legal adult and therefore cannot be held responsible or sued if anything goes wrong.... for the same reason you wouldn't get planning permission or even permission for an event from the local authorities.

They have to be notified because of extra traffic to area, access for emergency vehicles, fire regs, complaints from locals etc etc

you ever seen a public event risk assessment form?!

You have an impossible task doing it all on your own, which lets face it is the only way it'll happen....

do you seriously think you will get any help with costs and labour to send you on a jolly around the world?

I'd be reluctant to attend a meeting like this unless it was something very special.

when are you thinking of running? Dates for events are in very short supply and thats without any weather issues.

Seriously.... get a paper round or ten!

At least let us know what this challenge is too
