Ok, so here's the deal...we know it's not ideal for those coming from farthest away but...
It was basically use WORM or cancel the event entirely.
2 reasons for this:
1) LACK OF ENTRIES
The hall and grass we use has a rent on it, it's not actually very much, but even with that we are 13 entries short of making the rent! So financially we can't afford to run it there.
2) All our outdoor equipment has had to be removed from the storage at the hall and is now/temporarily being stored away from the hall.
If we had a big entry and lots of help it would be worthwhile us arranging the transport and setting it all up, and transporting it back.
So...it comes down to the racers. Currently there just isn't the support in the region to make it worthwhile running there. Our apologies to those who have supported it already and booked in, but we felt this was the best solution all round.
It means the few who have booked in get a race on a track that's ready to go, has no minimum entry requirements for rent, and is just 30 mins further away if your coming from a distance and only an hour from Cardiff in Sunday morning traffic.
The bridge toll isn't ideal....but it's less than a pair of tyres!
If the event is now deemed unfair due the location, then we'll happily cancel and have a lay in and a day off....your choice!
