Andy, maybe instead of citing logistics and just moving the event, someone should have mentioned the real reasons before now and a solution could have been found.

1) LACK OF ENTRIES

The hall and grass we use has a rent on it, it's not actually very much, but even with that we are 13 entries short of making the rent! So financially we can't afford to run it there.

Historically people book in late, i can tell you that there were probably 8 of us coming up from saundersfoot, and i for one was running 2 classes. it was my first visit there last year, and i was looking forward to coming back again. If we'd have been told you needed to know sooner because of the rent we could have let you know, and i'm sure people from other clubs would have too. At the recently cancelled saundersfoot round, almost 50% of the entries came within the last 4/5 days.

It means the few who have booked in get a race on a track that's ready to go, has no minimum entry requirements for rent, and is just 30 mins further away if your coming from a distance and only an hour from Cardiff in Sunday morning traffic.

With the greatest respect, its not 'just 30 mins' its 'atleast another 30 mins (or miles)' each way. Caldicot itself is a 2 1/2hr journey, but we make the effort to support another Welsh Club, as people do when they travel down to us. Weston is just a bridge too far (sorry)

The bridge toll isn't ideal....but it's less than a pair of tyres!

I personally race on a tight budget, especially since my wages were cut by 20% this year, and most of my disposable income is gone. I used one set of tyres for the 6 events i did last year(they came on the car and were used when i got them). I've already bought my tyres for this year was wasn't budgeting on having to splash out on any more, even if its only a pair!
