Its a tricky one Jim, as the two available bank holidays fall just before the nationals. So it would be a bit hectic for those doing nationals. Getting back from the regional on the Monday and off to do the national on the Friday (the two in question are far away)
For those doing nationals it would be best to have the regionals the weekend after. Having said that around 95% of our regions racers won't be doing nationals so it might be best to look after the majority. Any thoughts guys to help Jim? Or don't people mind either way its your region! and the countrys No 1 region, so we need to lead by example |

Personally I don't mind either way, will go to what the calendar dictates. Right so lets look at the possible dates for regionals.
16th/17th of May 23rd/24th of May 6th/7th of June 13th/14th of June 27/28th of June 4th/5th of July 11/12th of July 25th/26th of July 8th/9th of August 15th/16th of August 22/23rd of August 12th/13th of September Thats twelve weekends, not taking into account the two bank holiday weekends. Anyone got any idea when the euros are on? as that will probably take up another weekend to. I think I would be right in saying that out of the clubs in the region who have shown an interest that only Broxtowe and Blyth won't have an open calendar for the summer? And obviously Eastrax if they are holding mid east regionals this year. Will there be another Anglian Motel Grand Prix? if yes could we not have a three dayer this year I personally would like to see all the regionals finished before the end of season finals though as it was a bit weird having the last one after they had been on.

Agreed- it would be best to get them all in before the EOS Finals. The Euros are on 10th-15th Aug but I don't think it would matter to much if they clashed?
Broxtowe have an open calender, it was agreed we would sort snoring car dates around off road. It would be best for us not to have a date to early on as we need to get new track markings and features sorted for the F3's and would like to use them at the regionals. Having said that we should have them sorted for the beginning of the season. It would make sense to give Blyth one just before the National. All I know is I can't wait to get outdoors, indoor racing gets on my tits |

So at the moment I make the clubs interested in running regionals.
Broxtowe Holbeach Hubberts Bridge West Bridgford Model Car Club So thats the same amount of clubs we had last year. With Blythe being run by YORC will they be interested in running a Mid Easty Regional? or are they your region Mr North?

OK so we have 5 venue's interested
Broxtowe Holbeach Hubberts Bridge West Bridgford Model Car Club Blythe And we have dates as below, all after nationals or pre national season: Broxtowe have given me 3 dates they can do as shown March 8th March 22nd April 12th (Easter could be 2 day if required) April 26th - Broxtowe May 17th June 7th June 28th - Broxtowe July 26th August 9th August 16th This satisfies all the pre-requisites .. ie the weekend after a national and not a weekend before, all dates are pre EOF and we have 10 dates with the posibility of a 2 day meeting at easter (Sunday Monday). Anglia Motel 2 day meeting does not clash with these dates. So now to get some club names against dates and see where we can go from here! Jim |

ok cool will check with the hall dates after the week end ,,, might i suggest hubberts do the later ones in the year so if we have bad weather we can also pit indoors with table and chairs supplied

I'm now thinking that March is a little early. All clubs being grass we may have problems, might have to squeeze more into the other months.
Thoughts? Jim |

I think March is too soon as the indoor meetings havnt finished till the indoor finals on the first weekend in April so anyime after that I think is best.

OK Well it looks like 8 is the maximum amount of meetings to fit in.
So dates are as follows 26/04/09 - Broxtowe 17/05/09 - ? 07/06/09 - ? 28/06/09 - Broxtowe 12/07/09 - ? 26/07/09 - ? 09/08/09 - ? 23/08/09 - ? Blythe Maybe? This makes things quite cramped in July and August with 5 consecutive weekends racing if you’re doing the nats. So Northy, would Blythe be up for doing the weekend before the Nats or would it be better to have more space like the beginning of August? Also I’m quite nervous about Hubbards Bridge as it's never been raced on before. Think I need a status update from them and a plan of how things will be organised and run as it's seemingly a small club with no off road experience. So Holbeach, West Brigford and Blythe could you get your proposed dates to me ASAP. Give me a ring this week, if not I’ll call you at the weekend. Jim 07921 493579 |

Jim,
We are not allowed to race the weekend before a National. We have a committee meeting this week, I'll ask them. Cheers, G

Northy, could the ME & NE run their regionals on the same day at Blyth if everybody was kept seperate and you ran it as two seperate meetings?
