Seen it all before, clubs get to popular and end up having long reserve lists and returning entries as over subscribed.
Other clubs end up running more races of shorter duration to try and accomodate the large amount of members they have attracted and then the members feel they are loosing out and maybe the grass in the old paddock was just as good if not better than the paddock on the other side that they now find themselves in

People will end up where they feel they get the best value

Sweet...be good to have some of the old guard back.

Good Man
I can only dream of a trophy
I love the paddock and freinds made in it, But sometimes i wonder why i race
as i can't afford it tbh but once i get into the holding area it all makes sense

Had a next door neighbour who had the snip first thing in the morning, was told to rest for 24 hours, went and got into his car ( in Plymouth) and drove without stopping to his house in Portsmouth, sat out side honking his horn (no, the car horn) as he was in that much pain he could not move, it took 3 of us 10 minutes or more to get him into his house

My father-in-law didn't have an anaesthetic when he had his done, just hypnotherapy, and rode his push bike home from the surgery afterwards! Hard man!
