We set out a calendar at the start of the season, making sure we weren't open for regional dates. Tomorrow was NOT a regional date at the time. We aren't currently open every week so getting the calendar right was really important to us.

We had closed for the original Southport date, though we ended up running a meeting at the last minute because whilst Southport was washed we weren't. We have closed for all the other rounds.

This is an extra round that has been added AFTER the calendar was drawn up. That we aren't closing when the unscheduled moved round is on is hardly a valid excuse for those saying that it means other clubs can open on our scheduled, calendared round. They are far from the same thing. We aren't putting on a meeting out of spite, we simply already had a meeting on we haven't cancelled.

Though if people do want to run when its our round I'm not sure I mind. There is a very specific group of people who race the regional and an equally large number who don't. Its a bit unfair that the non-regional drivers have to lose out each time a meeting they never intended to race in is on. But that is a debate for another time and place.
