The club IS about to close! The club has asked why people dont come and we have tried to listen and tried to start and change things. Still people dont come. Its heart breaking that there is a great venue and nobody turns up. We only have about 8 members? Whats that all about? I as the Chairman is giving it till winter then if things have not changed then I am going to close the doors on one of the oldest clubs in RC history.

ill be racing again soon hopefully.
problem is the only club i can race at is bury metro so i dont see the point in forking out hundreds of pounds on new cells and new electrics if know1 turns up.
the only way i can see ppl turning up is to do alternative weekends with southport and even batley.
just for the fact that drivers are travelling there.or even extend the nw regional series to more than 3 rounds a year and have less club meetings.that mite entise people to come and practice.

Im new this year to the club, and I guess one of the 8 members !

Losichris's suggestion is interesting. Would this go down like a lead ballon at Southport ? Would the Southport regulars make the trip, basically there are no Bury regulars to return the favour ?

Maybee just a reduced Bury schedule, specifically tailored to avoid other events ?

I would suggest that Southport WILL NOT alter the calendar to run every other weekend. We run a weekly calendar, we have done for years and we won't be changing that in the future, UNLESS our club members request that to be the case.

Don't mean to sound harsh here, but we run Southport Radio Car Club for the members of Southport Radio Car Club, if they want to race weekly at Southport, then that's what we will cater for.

Dont know what people think to this but how about running on say a wednesday or thursday night for normal club races? Might be a good way to get more people there! I'd probably be able to come on one of those nights, maybe not every week.

I did try and start racing on a wed night but no body turned up. Right now I will do what ever you lot want. If you want to race then I will be there. If you want a new track then I will make that happen. Regards alternate dates with the likes of Southport/Batley I think this is a bad idea. Just tell me what to do?

And i second burgie


since some bad ass vandals (properly penzo) burnt the sports hall down and some of the facility's where taken in that selfish act, then that may of made it less likely to attract new members and retain others.
It would be a shame for bury to close for the region and it members.

Its difficult for all clubs your best bet is to try and appeal to the younger generation.

I can't believe that you are only getting 8 members turning up...

It's a great venue that many clubs aim/wish to have

It can be hard to get younger racers,It's not that the kids don't want to do it, We find parents don't want to spend the time at the track when they are racing, also the cost puts them off a bit. Also when the membership starts to fade and you only get 8 or so people to a meeting it's hard to get some good races going, then people start to say whats the point of spending money on rc stuff get fed up and leave.

We have the same prob in norfolk.........best of luck bury
