Not many cancelled meetings due to rain safer for marshals. Maybe grass for club meetings but regionals and nationals where people travel a distance astro only. As I say this is my opinion only and not a slur to the fantastic organisation of the barrow club but the weather won again.

My opinion is that:
Grass Tracks are good though
HOWEVER grass tracks with flat pipes and shit track markings is no good
Nor is a track without a proper rostrum.
Venues without these key features shouldn't be allowed to host a BRCA sanctioned event.
