Midweek Racing

[dpackster1980]

Due to the continuation of the poor turnout I suggest we go back to mid week racing for the following reasons:

1) Everyone that attended is sick of the poor turnout.
2) The small minority that do attend want mid week racing.
3) All of the newbies now do mid week racing at other clubs.
4) I'm not sacrificing anymore of my weekends to run on the club Sundays.

If we run mid week I'll run it.

Your thoughts please?

As I've said many times to many different people, get up find somewhere that's affordable, has storage and is available midweek and the members are welcome to do as they wish.

As has been proven over the last few months I haven't even got time to race let alone look for somewhere for others to race.

Surely we can race during the week, what's stopping us??

The simple reason is very soon the club will cease to be. I don't want it to fold but the general feeling is it'll happen as weekends are clearly no good for anyone. We've lost 3 newbies to Tyne Met because no one like weekends.

Racing midweek at the youth centre can't happen, as they have stuff on everynight between 5 and 9. Only choice up there are when we currently race or on Sunday night.

As for anywhere else it's upto someone to find somewhere that the club can afford to pay for, not like some of these places expecting £35+ an hour.

In my opinion weeknight racing isn't exactly booming for buggies, the couple of times I've managed to get to Tyne met there's only been 5 or so buggies, Benfield on a Friday I don't know about.

Sunday night would be spot on, people can do what they want during the day and race on the night. This would get people back definitely.

What time could we have it from and the latest we're allowed to stay?

I'd have to check regarding times, but I would advise you speak to the people that are currently keeping the club going that they can make it and that you are going to attract more people there and someone to run it Everytime.
