Racing Sunday 15th June:
Please note the agreement between all NWR clubs is they will not compete with each other on the day of a Regional; therefore ostensibly Bury should be closed.
However, this rearranged date for S/P Regional was not on the official calendar, and Bury fixed that date as a planned Meeting. So my view is that Bury are entitled to run if they wish. I don't think it presents a problem for S/P. They will have anyway a large turnout (I'm going with the lads!). Bury will only attract a small number who anyway would not go to S/P.
In future the NWR is strongly advised to (like other regions) fix two official reserve dates in the calendar. Then if 1 or 2 dates are cancelled the series can run as planned. It will then be up to the club reps to decide if those extra official dates can be adopted in home club calendars.
