the idea of a interclub champ is good but think of it this way

1st weekend eden park

2nd week kiddy

3rd week end stotfold

4th weekend cml

plus anu 8th scale thats going on as well every month

you have to decide when do we/ you run all these clubs can be driven to including yours with in 2 hours from both of us 2 hours is nothing for most racers all i would say is think before you set these meetings in stone.

we as a club have spent over £500 quid on timber to make the jumps i realise that we can use them for fridays but we still havent replaced the coffers yet and we have done 2 largeish meeting.

it has become very apparent to me that we are loosing clubs because of there being too many places to go not because nobody wants to race,
rc is so popular at the moment we as clubs need to think what we are doing before we put one another out of bussiness thats what im saying sorry if that sounds harsh but its the truth.

it is so much more expensive to put meeting on now when i was a lad we used to get trophies down to 5th or so in all the finals now the top three get a small one if there lucky this is down to what a meeting costs to run i hope you get what i mean im not having a go at you personally it just very frustrating when people are so desperate to run indoors they talk you in to running a championship then they decide to go to another club for what ever reason and this i think can only get worse if we set our selves in compitition with one another
