adhawkins Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 About 5minutes after posting that, I realised that Llandow is technically south of the M4, although try getting to it without going on the M4! You could, but you'd either have to go North of the M4 to do it, or swim Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 The Speed Series caters very nicely for People who live in the Midlands or up North, so it'd be nice to replace Boscombe with a similarly southern event. I am sure this is not an objective for the organisers of the Speed Series - isn't it just a plain fact that the majority of the most suitable venues are north of the M4? Nothing to do with being "handy" for us folks to just happen to have made the sensible decision to live in the Midlands - where all the decent beer is made and Staffordshire Oatcakes - yum yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I think this is another one of those discussions that comes up fairly often. I know I've 'complained' about it myself. It seems to be a fact of life that most of the 'affordable' circuits / hill climbs are in the northern half of the country. Just one of the many things those of us 'darn sarf' have to put up with I guess Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Yupright Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Not really, Cos there are plenty of other Southern based sprint series's, although perhaps with not the same atmosphere as the WSCC crowd. No biggie, just a shame to lose Boscombe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ah, Ok My knowledge of this sort of thing is limited to what I've read on here really. I do remember Mark saying something in the past about not receiving invitations to sprints down south? I think he mentioned that people should 'put in a good word' with the organising club to see if the WSCC can get an invite in future... Or am I just confused again...?

Blatman Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I think the only SS event south of the M4 is Wiscombe innit? If you're not counting Goodwood, then yes. Llandow doesn't count........ We used to do Dunkeswell (Devon) and Lydden (Kent) too, although not this year........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 The Speed Series caters very nicely for People who live in the Midlands or up North, so it'd be nice to replace Boscombe with a similarly southern event. Anything at Gurston Down? It would if we were invited No invites for Gurston or Prescott Don't take it as any predjudice or bias - there is no way that ever is a thought when we're arranging events - we think long and hard to get as much balance as poss - But the simple fact is we need invites Goodwood, Lydden, Wiscombe, Llandow (x2), North Weald are all on the calendar which may be regarded as Southern - thats 6 events from 28 with Curborough (x2), Loton, and Shelsley all within reasonable reach of motorway routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Blats - Lydden is on the 2004 SS calendar I need to re-check my calendar........ prob'ly be worthwhile seeing if it's the same organising club as last time. If so, perhaps I won't go anyway........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 C'mon Blats do wake up toooo much sangria again Lydden is Borough 19 MC Do you think we'd get involved with that other organising club again As you darn saf say "Do us a fava mate" Arwight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
