Here here Si !
Until you run a club or race meeting you have NO idea the effort, time and energy it takes up.
99% of drivers, newbies and F1's no not of the pains and the stresses involved.
I love it when someone comes up and shakes my hand and just says "thanks for running today", even if they have hated it or loved it. I am staggered when people are and then go with saying cheeri-bye bye. I think it grates so much with me.
It's not just the day, it's the planning and pre prep and organising, it's not a one day wonder every week.
Rant over but I'm with you Si. Cheers to more of your badly run meetings
