Default Absima Winter Series Round 5 Results

First of all I have to say how DISAPPOINTED I am that 90% of you that came racing today went home without helping to pack the track away.

Hope the day went well for you all today.

On the subject of track work.

As a way to try and inventivise people to stay behind and help, It was and remains the clubs intention to provide a raffle prize for each of the remaining winter series meetings. Today, i understand the raffle was drawn before the track was put away. This will not be the case for all future meetings.

The small raffle prize, which we will advertise before each meeting, will ONLY be available to those who remain at the end of the meeting and AFTER the track is cleared away.

Please note, the series raffle prizes remain as first advertised. ��

I'm sure our members agree this is the committees way of trying to get the many ✋️����✋️���� needed to share the load. ��

#simple #helpandbetheretowin ��

I've seen this type of thing many times before in various hobbies and sports, it's always happened and always will but......

Removal of points from persistent offenders or game/race bans get the point across for a while.

People leaving attending meetings without helping, especially at club level. They're happy enough to race, they should be happy enough to help out set up and pack away.

But we pay to race!!!! we don't pay to set up!!! Bury have a track team specifically made up of committee members who's undertaking in that roll is to do the track, I'm not saying it's not good to help and some members do some don't and i'm sure the committee appreciate it when people do stay and help, but I personally drive over an hour to attend meetings and dishing out penalties because I choose to spend and extra time with my children at tea time sounds a little sore.

And!!! who the hell are you the hobby police? Get a grip.... Not you Stu! Your ok, rant over....
