Regionals

I would agree with that too.

if you have pre-booked and do not turn up without letting the club know (in good time) then the club rep could let the next club know who had not turned up and they are put on the reserve list and the places offered to those on the reserve list.

The same would apply for those that have booked in for both classes and then turn up on the day and withdraw from the one of the classes.

Sounds fair to me.

It's unfotunate for those that didn't get in that the event at Southport booked up so quickly. But it's fortunate for the club and the sport that the situation arose.

I think that we could restrict drivers to racing only one class, but that is also unfair.

This situation is un-precedented in the Northwest in for as long as I can remember, only 5 years ago, if that, the only club in the northwest regionals was Southport as Bury chose to race in the North East.

But to say "If you live in the northwest and want to race a regional you should be able to that's it" is infantile. It's like saying I want to win the lottery every week so i should be able to do so - it's just not feasible.

You can't just stamp your feet because you didn't get in. Put some sensible, balanced suggestions forward that are within the current rules and that are fair to all and I am sure they will be listened to.

I wish you would stop saying that as we still held a north west regional in that year. We did both that year! Look at the results for that year. I have told you this before but you seem not to understand!

I have been watching the forum over the last few days and trying to think of ways to help. I have been going over the list for the Keighley regional and inputting the pre booking onto the website and think that this could be a very good way of ensuring people are not just panic booking not even sure if they are going to go. You know the whole " just in case I want to ".
I know that last year was our very first time holding the event and as we never knew any better thought that over a hour for booking in was just way too long. The point of pre booking for us was just to get that booking in time shorter and get the racing that everyone had come for going quicker. I have given up both my classes so that more people can book in. I also know that one of our other committee members has also dropped a class to make room.
