Woody, don't think you clash with indoor finals, aren't they on the 4th/5th? Yours is Easter Sunday the week after?
Things have ended up congested this year but sadly that's life, there are more clubs than weekends! This winter my racing has been in any given month: first Sunday Broxtowe, second Saturday/Sunday West Bridgford or one off's, third Sunday Bury, last Sunday Worksop! There's no more Sundays!
Maybe this is a chance to spend the summer working out plans to help as many clubs as possible next winter, or even outdoors in summer, with planning of how championships run. As a random example, you could have a championship where some dates clash with Batley, but some don't and as well as individual champions you could have a "champion of champions" (sorry, spent the day with marketing people!!), who would have combined points from his "home clubs" clashing meetings AND then none clashing meets at the other club, like an interclub thing!? This could be done with other clubs instead of course!
As long as the clubs cover their costs, I'm fine with Bury having 50 people and not 90, with the other 40 at Batley or similar! Don't give up though, Bury is one of the best tracks!
