Can't see why it can't be done.



Last winter the NE didn't have a club to run a 2 day around of the 12th National Series, so Chirs Clarke, Mark Jewitt, the BRCA & a few others got their act together & made sure it happened using the 12th section rule.

7.2 Nationals must be organised by a Club unless ‘force majeure’ dictates otherwise

Usual host club didn’t know if the venue would still be available I think. I may need correcting on this point.



so moving onto 10th Off-Road & a possible 2009 National in the NE

off-road rules don't state the above 12th rule 7.2 and it also doesn't state a permanent track is to be used, just that the venue has to be up to scratch.

Remember the Off-Road Euro's 1998 were held @ Preston Park.

4. SANCTIONED EVENTS
4.3 Only Clubs/Organisers affiliated to the BRCA are allowed to run sanctioned events.
4.6 Applications must include full details of the venue, including : pitting
area, toilet facilities, rostrum design/suitability, race control facilities, local accommodation, policy for camping/caravans and advice on suitable control tyres if applicable. Details of standards required can be obtained from the
Section Secretary. Sanctioned events can only be granted by the Committee. The calendar of events will be published in January of each year. Dates are subject to force majeure and the approval by the Committee of the venue
and organiser.
4.7 The Committee are to ensure that National Championship venues and general facilities are of a suitable standard for National events.

So get the NE consortium to get together with NERCR and bring it all together in Bents Park for 2009.
Plenty of nightlife, attractions for those with youngsters etc.
