Antony, I've got a bit of a problem with your last post.
Mark has made an effort to get a club going for nearly 12 months now if you include the efforts made at Croston.
He's been at LDA since December with a high venue cost. So remember in this Marks a self employed taxi driver and he's giving up the best night of the week for a cabby besides Saturday.
So this costs him around £200 per night per week. Add to this he's losing close to £100 per night on the venue because of the low numbers and multipy the weeks, about 10 for easy numbers. So thick end of £3k lost without considering he bought all the AMB timing gear, laptop, track markings etc. Lets put £2k in for that and your starting to see the effort he's put into this and why I'm pissed at people slating it all and moaning about daft stuff.
If you don't think that level of commitment is fighting please tell me what is?
And to address your comment that things get cancelled to quickly. Marks only started to do this recently because the turn outs were so poor, as has been said, lots of negative comments from people who've never attended a meeting. So to try to avoid some of the risk he posts up with plenty of notice of the event and justs ask for people to say if they're going to come or not, simple. People will know if they plan to race on Friday by Wednesday evening. Surely.
So it doesn't matter now, all who came said how good and different it was but those who didn't will never know.
