BRCA AGM Attendance - Page 3

ashleyb4 · #41 14-08-2007

Im not annoyed about the money ive spent on my kit the reason i spend so much is to stop things being unreliable I would have no chance of getting my f4 or improving if i had cheap speedo's an motors that where for ever playing up all the time. Im more annoyed about the amount of money ive spent putting brand new tyres on for every regional. And having to pay my mum an dad fuel money. But its all fun fingers crossed i should get my f4 and if i enter every national next year i should get in.

Anyways where going totally off topic now so lets back to the AGM.

I don't mean to be rude, but what's so important about going to Nationals?

When I first started doing regionals / the odd National, I much preferred regionals because there were more people at my level that I could be competitive against and I could actually race. I mean, racing's what its all about - its no fun to be out of your depth. I mean, even now I don't enjoy 2wd Nationals so much because I'm always 3rd or 4th bottom final and I can't really do much about it. 4wd I'm battling for higher finals so its more fun, more competitive.

Its not the end of the world if you don't get your F4, or you don't get into Nationals. I don't think I did Nationals until my 4th-ish year of racing but I loved my club racing and regional racing. Don't get disheartened - I know you WANT to go to Nationals, but at the end of the day, they're not all that.

Race at regionals, club meetings and just ENJOY racing.

Just realise the 2nd round of the Worksop series clashes with this

Very bad planning on their part then.... Something similar happened with a different club last year.

I refer back to my previous post....

It does say in the Constitution section of the Handbook that NO BRCA sanctioned meeting are to be run on the date of the AGM.

I understand what others said about low attendance at the AGM could well mean that the committee are doing a great job and there's no complaints, but it would be nice to see a few extra faces turn up and get a feel for how things are organised behind the scenes. Let's face it, the current committee members aren't going to be around for ever, and at some point they will need people with the equally good skills to replace them.......

The reason is i love racig so much i want to race more and more and if i only do regionals i will proberly only end up doing 10 meetings a year which is poo. Also when everyone is at nationals ill i want to do is be there not just for racing to see all the people i know off line and dont hardly get to see.

Is the Woksop thing just a club series, rather than BRCA sanctioned?

_sleigh_ · #47 15-08-2007

Yeah it is Stu, but for a club holding a new series, with the aim of attracting loads of racers, it seems a bit silly to clash with the AGM... I was just using that rule to make the point, as I know there was mutterings last year when it happened.

Also it look like Worksops March date is around the "normal" date for the Indoor Finals.

MattW · #48 15-08-2007

yeah, like i've said, i have to agree with Phil that i don't think it's good if clubs hold "big" meetings on AGM day. Nothing you can do to stop them, but it's not great IMHO

I think the reason there's more peeps attending the AGM for 12th Oval, is cos the stock car peeps don't want to be in the 21st centery

still using there mech speedos

my proposed rule is for less F1 drivers.

i think they should be the cream of the crop and only 15 or so should get F1...make it special again and increase numbers at F2 level...and in doing tht....F3 level too.
