The end is in sight

[Alan - South West RC]

Unfortunately it is looking like we will have to close the doors at the end of November due to the low numbers of people turning up to race. To be able to use the building we have an agreement with the owners to pay the business rates and electric every month. To give you some idea of the numbers …………..

Business rates -80% (reduction for being a non-profit organisation) = £425 per month until January then £225 per month.

Electric = £25 per month

So until January we need to bring in £450 per month in race fees to cover our costs. In February the rates go down to £250 a month which will be a lot easier to cover. Up to this point we had money saved to cover the extra costs but this has now run out and we are short this month by £150. We have 3 race meetings left this month and if we carry on getting the turnout we are getting then the race fees will not cover that cost. This will leave us no choice but to close the doors and close the club.

It’s up to you guys, the racers, if you want a dry place to race in the South West during the winter then please come along and support us.
