[Simon Waterfall Syman84]

Is this final now?

[Terry Everall]

The dates are fixed in our calendar but may change if an organising club has a problem with the circuit etc. This rarely happens !

[John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison]

Looking good!

[woodman]

I am considering entering again this year.

Bit dissapointed by the bias towards sprints / lack of hills though. 29/8

Great if you like Blyton/ Anglesey

Used to be much more equal IIRC

[Terry Everall]

Stu.- It will be good to se you out again. We have only dropped one hill this year and that's Barbon that got little support and people who did go got stuck on the parking areas. We could have done Scammonden but that has very limited appeal and small entries on a short track. We have never returned to Prescott or Olivers Mount ( thought to be a very dangerous hill). Harewood is always good and so is Loton Park so thats 4 events plus Shelsley etc!

[B.RAD]

You've dropped Wiscombe too. Not many south of Watford now - only Gurston as far as I can tell? Any reason?

[woodman]

Yes it was good to see you at Autosport Terry.

I see that Wiscombe has also been dropped , also no Llys Y fran

I think the one SW may be practice sat , race sun , so only 7 actual events from 37

 

[woodman]

Although I have to say that Wiscombe was better when we used to go in Sept . The ground was much drier in the paddock .

[Terry Everall]

Sut

When we had both Wiscombe and Lys Y Fran in the calendar they had minimal support as you know 

[woodman]

Yes , shame really. I remember big turnouts at Wiscombe in middle 2000s

I think Wiscombe would have got more support if it was in Sept again. Llys Y  Fran needs Llandow to make it viable

I'm sure the majority are happy with all the sprints

Its just there are almost as many visits to anglesey as all the hills put together

[B.RAD]

Didn't Wiscombe have fairly regular attendance from a select few? And aren't there other regulars who have been out for a couple of years that would have done it? Seems a shame given the lack of southerly events and hills overall. 

[Terry Everall]

Last year at Wiscombe we had i competitor on Saturday and on Sunday 2 plus 1 from class J

Stu, sad to say it, but living  where we do, the BARC Midland speed championship probably now has a more attractive mix of venues or if you like hills the Midland Hill Climb championship. With a house move I won't be out much this year again but if I was I think I would do a mix of midland and WSCC rounds.

Interesting, so has that rule been applied to all events listed?
