Batley Club Meeting & Supercup Date/s

Stephen Lawson · #1 19-01-2009

Sorry for the lack of meeting this winter but due to cost issues with the sports centre and Di bieng in Hospital we have had to give things a miss.

Di is now fit and well & we plan to hold 2 INDOOR club meetings on

15th Feb 10am start &
1st March 10am Start

Due to increased costs race fee for the above meeting will be £7 for all

the Regional is as published on the 8th March

SuperCup will be held on the 15th March

Supercup entry details will be published later this week

We hope you will all support the club and help us get back on track to ensure the future of the club in 2009 and beyond.

Stephen Lawson.

SO the distance between the two is very close and both events may suffer from small entries where as if they were on different dates then both events can get max enteries which will give both clubs better funds

i kind of thought that i would not have anyneed to explain but you must be a special case.

chalky · #5 20-01-2009

is 10 feb indoor or outdoor

cheers

Are you asking for a slap or what

I agree with your logic, but there are probably more people than you think who would go to Batley and not Bury and Bury and not Batley. I have said many times before that clubs in our area should co-ordinate fixtures better, but with such a tight calendar I suppose there will always be clashes

Oscar · #7 20-01-2009

Sorry, but I'm out of the country, so the club website will not be updated for a week

I do have to agree, a date not clashing with Bury would be greatly advantageous.

As the Nationals are starting a month later this year and April is looking quiet would it not be better to run the new Batley meetings so that they don't clash so closely?

The 15th of Feb and the 15th march both clash with Bury who have done a good job in keeping the North West/Yorkshire contingent racing this winter.

I would love to support both venues so if it could be changed I think it would make more sense.

Unfortunately we are not in a position to have any other dates, we felt we wanted to give the racers the opportunity to run indoors at Batley prior to the regional and super cup and the date are the only ones available.

good to see some local meetings being run to get the local lads playing out again!

So much for interclub cooperation.

I read this line "only ones available" - I guess that means Batley either clashes or simply doesn't race. Unfortunate but nothing to do with cooperation I think.

Richard Lowe · #15 06-02-2009

Who's going where then? I want to go to both

So Jimmy.... when are you going to pay Bury's new venue a visit then? I believe woOdy's been trying to get you to come down, to give the club abit of publicity.. be good to see you...

I will be obvioulsy supporting Bury, if the dates hadnt have clashed i would have supported this meet...

On the 15th march at Bury we will be running to our usual format.. Januarys meet had 100 drivers (our 3rd ever meet!), we are hopeing for the same on the 15th February and for March... Dont forget we give two kits away as prizes on the day.. last meet we gave away a BMAX and a B4 Stealth

Same high grip surface, the more worn your minipins/mini spikes are the better!! Plus we have purchased more wood now for better jumps etc

Cheers

Nick

I believe the first one clashed (........lol) with Worksop? and I'd already commited miself. Then maybe the next one was whilst I was in Australia - then maybe the next one while vicky was away or working, not sure. Etc.. I know the last one was whilst I was at the Petit race.
I think I talked to Stu Evans about it at the York 24h and I told him I really wanted to go - so, hopefully I'll be able to come to the next one yep.

No probs mate.. one did clash with the J Concepts Clash do.. none have clashed with Worksop though as we worked our dates round these..last one was the weekend of the Petit... So maybe we'll see you at the Feb / March do... you wont be disapointed!

Mike Hudson · #19 06-02-2009

i'm going to the supercup

hope the truck class runs

DaveG28 · #20 06-02-2009

Like Richard, I'd have done both if I could!

Things do get congested in winter, Worksop/Bury/Broxtowe/one off's like Petit and Southport GP, then regionals!! Maybe for next winter look at championships involving several different clubs, but individual meeting prizes or something?
