skids Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 So will others get in if they dont know Sarah? is it who they want in or what? will it be friends first? Quote
Scottish Bloke Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 You should have had this mate...... Dear Speed Series Competitor, A quick e-mail to let you know that I have received confirmation from Sarah Nield the Ty Croes Secretary that they have received a considerable number of entries from the WSCC and definitely more than is allocated to our series. Because of this there will be some of you who have entered, who WILL be on the reserve list. As I now begin to appreciate, there is a h**l of a lot to do, when you do this type of job, so what they do not need is anyone either phoning them up or e-mailing to see where there entry is as this will just slow the process down. BUT what they have promised to do is let everyone know at the same time, this may take a while to do as they are also working on all the other clubs that entered the event. When this is going to be released I will e-mail you all to confirm it has just gone out. So please be patient whilst they go through this process. Obviously if for any reason the post has not delivered your entry, it is really to late anyway !! They would however like me to pass on their thanks for the support that our club gives to the event and they do like the friendliness of our competitors and look forward to seeing you at the event. I will keep you posted. Best regards Nick Algar WSCC Competition Secretary & Championship Co-ordinator Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Peter I can confirm that your august Ty Croes entry has been received and you will be notified if accepted in due course. Same goes for everyone else that has posted on this thread so far Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 So will others get in if they dont know Sarah?is it who they want in or what? will it be friends first? Peter - fret not entries are not accepted by who knows who - entries are undertaken without predjudice or bias for anyone. You have the same chance of an entry as anyone else Sarah and Martin are fully aware of the enthusiasm by the WSCC for this event - however there are other championships to consider and over 100 drivers each day to administer to Due to the over whelming demand - At present all that is known is that some WSCC drivers will be happy, some will be on the reserve list and others will be dissappointed. So please - if you are looking to gain championship honours then ensure you enter sufficient events - the season hasn't even started yet and there are many more event regulations to be issued - so there's no excuse for "ruined my season because I couldn't get an entry" - there are other events inlcuding another Ty croe weekend on 11 / 12 October Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 QUOTE there are other events inlcuding another Ty croe weekend on 11 / 12 October Its will be snowing that late in the year Quote
MartinH Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 there are other events inlcuding another Ty croe weekend on 11 / 12 October Its will be snowing that late in the year John, It rarely snows in Anglsey, to close to the Gulf Stream, just howling gales and horizontal rain. I lived there for 2 years. Quote
skids Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 good answer Mark,but why book up an event than cannot accept the numbers when there are a lot of other places that sometimes need people to fill them? Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 The Ty croes event in August caters for 5 championships (I think) - it is an extremely well organised and popular event The organisers, as with any and every event, have to distribute the number of entries for each championship as equally as possible and cater for as many as possible, to this end the Ty Croes organisers have an extensive list of reserves which can be called upon when others drop out, the reserve list is made up from all those unfortunate not to gain an entry. Can't quite see what your post means Peter. Do you wish the event to cater for more Westfields ?? - sorry this is not possible we often have had in excess of 40 Do you wish it to be dropped from fixture list because it cannot cater for all that apply ?? Again, no can do, on this basis we would lose a large number of events Peter take a look at a list of events that struggle for numbers and then ask why they struggle Locality - how many drivers travel any distance Venue - is it good enough Event - Is it well organised Provide an excellent well organised event at a good cost with a challenging circuit and you have the perfect recipe for over subscription Its not just Ty croes in August Are there still entries available for Ty Croes in October ?? if yes ask yourself why if no - then the answer is simple Quote
skids Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 MMMMMMMMMM? 10 wscc members @North Weald on Sunday is that what you meen? Quote
scott beeland Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Well I won't be there ....coz that's the day I land in Cosumel to start my 6 month tour of The Caribbean Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 In some ways that is exactly what I mean Every year there are same Q's - why not more rounds in south - when the ones we get invited to do not get support ?? B19MC are a good club and organise well run events - Neil Benfield and the rest of the crew worked b****y hard to keep North Weald as an MSA venue and yet the SS can only provide 10 drivers ........ why what's the answer Peter ?? There has been very similar poor turn out for Lydden in previous years and other "southern" events have attracted only 4 or 5 drivers As a driver I can fully empathise with you Being involved in organising an event and also Asst Clerk of Course - its very frustrating and you simply cannot please all the people all the time no matter what is done Quote
