These will all be 2wd and 4wd on the same day.

It will also be the best 4 rounds out of 6.

The booking in fee has gone up for this year to £10 and you have to book in with the hosting club.

I think this answers your question Carl, From Woody's post :-

Anyone can enter, just need a BRCA membership

[Pitman Ed]

Matt,
If you are not already a BRCA member, you can join direct, or through an affilliated club (Bury/Southport for example). You will automatically be given F5 grade. You can progress up to F2 by Regional qualification; F1 is reached by Nationals results.

Could anyone see if there's any chance of June's round being held anywhere else at this late notice? Southport maybe?

Gaz - I think two Regionals in the same month at Southport would be too much, even for our club.

How about Barrow swap their April date for the June date. If they did, then all those who have booked in the weekend 20/21 April for the oOple Open would then be able to attend all NW Regionals. Just a thought!

Also, ther'es a slightly better chance of dry weather in June.

Yeah, that sounds like the ideal plan!

Agree! I would like to do oople series race at stotfold and all Regionals.

[stuart slmcc]

I for one are helping get barrows regional ready and at this moment in time i am unsure if we can move it now . We started sorting it the day after the club meeting at stu's house. We are not fortunate to have a full time track or area to run out doors these things do/are taking some time to sort out permissions,bogs,food ect . I understand there are other events that weekend and if people want to go to and support that, that is fine your choice but the barrow members are supporting the North West regional's this year . If we have to move dates, we will do our best to hold one but during the summer at the school i'm not sure that we will be able to .

[tinnylad]

Stu is right it's not as simple as just changing a date for us. We've had to sort the details all the way down to getting the council to have the grass cut for us on the required date.

[Pitman Ed]

The dates have been set and circulated. People have made plans based on that. To change them now would just please some, and upset others. So best to leave them as they are.

Totally agree tony but....i have to work weekends occasionally working for a breakdown company so i have to book holidays well in advance!

Another club needs to pick up the June date.

Can someone look into this rather than leaving with Stu currently

[NeilRalph77]

Are you now looking to go best 3 rounds from 5 or still 4 to qualify?

[Dean Washington]

I would imagine 4 out of 5
