Good job I'm not going or I might get upset and cry a little

Out of interest... what would you have me do? I've been out of the country until the week before last so I'm not a member of anything (not even my local library!).

I'm not saying that I'll definitely be there as I'll hopefully be working somewhere but... what would I do?

Easy. Join your nearest club, Jarrow. Just £5 and I can email you the application form.

Spot on Dalla. It's called interCLUB for a reason!

No Lee I dont have any X cars. And I dont know you so I cant form an opinion as to whether i like you or not.
Calm your ego and think of the bigger picture. How we all gonna encourage new people to start racing...? By being rude and slagging fellow drivers off on here..? No... If you want to make lude jokes with your friends try PM'in them. But try to think of how things might look to an outsider... Or maybe a keen 10 year old's parents trying to find out information...
As you dont know me and I dont know you I shall introduce myself at the next regional. Then you can tally up a face to a name etc...

neil...

Can someone post details of the event as nothing has been said for a while.

Many Thanks

I think most are off to worksop

Northy · #68 24-09-2008

This event is cancelled.

I have not had a single team entered for the event - this is very disappointing.

I know the racing calender is very tight but if theres any chance that the date could be pre-outdoor season start date then could it be possible?
The later in the year it gets, the worse the weather and less people that want to do it imo.

Northy · #70 24-09-2008

That was tried at the beginning of this year, after it failed at the end of last year, still failed

Thanks for trying G - I have seen all the mail you have written to encourage everyone, nothing more you could have done.

I believe the event has fallen from being a competitive club event into a "me & my mates, lets have some fun" event. Perhaps for 2009, we could set it back up as a club event, some sound ground rules and, again perhaps, the club officials may make more effort (me included) to put together a team or two. On the agenda for the next consortium meeting if you like?

Bugger me! Some-one has seen the light! That's exactly what I was banging on about...

Oscar · #73 25-09-2008

If anyone who was thinking of attending the inter club event at Batley, would still like to race there, please let me know. The track is actually in good condition, and the weather so far looks promising. If enough people express an interest I could still run a club meeting (I know its Worksop, hence gauging interest first).
Just post here http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14328 if you would like to come to Batley this Sunday.

Thanks

Lets be honest, the other reason is it clashes with Worksop which it's clear this year is goig to be the most competetive indoor series anywhere in the country. I realise the interclub date WAS set first but I bet if it were next week there would be a whole load more people available.

Well that is what it has always supposed to have been. This is how I tried to acheive it:

* The details were emailed TO THE CLUBS, not really made public so to speak.

* The CLUBS were asked to enter teams by last Monday.

Not really sure what else you can do?

If anyone else thinks they can do a better job - please stand up.

I agree with dan here 100% and its not just because he is an X factory brother

Like Dan says, if it was last weekend or the weekend after worksop you probably would of had an extra 20+ people attending, people are not going to organise teams for events when the team members are racing elsewhere.

Also i think batley has known about the worksop dates for a good while now and known that it would pull people away from this event, i dont know why it wasnt moved a week either way?
