Outdoor winter meetings?

[super__dan]

So here’s an idea, with the extra Astroturf we have (and can get some more if needed) what about running outdoors meetings through the winter, no more than once a month probably.

See with regionals, York and Worksop, that’s a lot of indoor racing. Especially considering what a chore it was for the minority putting out and packing away the indoor track and that keeping on practicing outdoors through the winter keeps your eye in I think this is a good idea.

Initial idea would be weather depending to ‘call’ whether the meeting was on or not at say 9am and post that on the internet so to give people notice if they are travelling.

Thoughts?

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS JUST AN IDEA AT THIS STAGE!!!!!

I think it is a good idea, we quite often have mild weather into December, and we have the facility there so lets use it! I had wondered if Batley and Bury clubs could team up for a northern astro-style winter championship, as inspired by the midwest astro-masters winter series. If this could be worked around all major dates on the calender then I think it's well worth looking into. But either way yes, I think the outdoor track is more fun than the carpet style tracks.

If there's racing indoors we know its actually going to happen.

It sounds like a good idea, but there's been ONE club meeting at Batley all summer, so I can't imagine it being any better in mid winter. Standing round in the cold with freezing bollocks can't be the way to spend a winter sunday either

Does this mean the indoor Batley meets are dead
