As for the last indoor meeting......

The primary reason it was cancelled wasn't money - it was the fact there was nobody to run race control as both Neil and I had things on. The plan was that I would drive all the way from Wigan to Oldham, set up race control and book everyone in, then leave with the system on Auto - hardly ideal. Factor in that we'd have lost money running the meeting anyway and it made sense to cancel. It was first and foremost about the people who make the meeting possible.

The same must also be said for the new outdoor track, which exists only because of the hard work of a very small number of people. I'll even admit I'm not one of them - I've done nothing towards this new build at all.

The new track is great, and its really going to put Bury on the map, but the thing the club is missing most is Roger. People have made some rather unfair comparisons to Southport and Batley but they are forgetting that Southport has Eric, Batley Dianne. Bury doesn't have a person like that - Neil, Darren and myself have busy jobs, family and other commitments and simply can't just do all the things people seem to take for granted.

Maybe we don't always do things right, but you know what? We are at least doing things. Without that meetings are impossible, which is why we cancelled the last indoors. If you don't like it feel free to come and have a go yourself or at least find someone who can do a better job!

Its YOUR club, but as long as people are willing to leave all the work to a handful with busy lives who don't always have the time to commit as fully as they should its never going to be how you want it.

Rant over, lets go outside and have fun!
