What a great idea. It's lucky Class B can sustain a grid...

Oh dear, even Class B doesn't have enough riders.

Great idea, we can just get rid of 24 x 620 riders, and just have a 583 class - pure genius!!

Although as you later said...

Not looking good is it. I know...

You don't need to bolster Class A - all you need to do is get 25 people in Class B. Then you can have your own grid.
Or, you could just accept the fact that neither class has enough riders, and nobody is proactively recruiting new riders (I have got a friend racing at Donington though, and another entering next season) so therefore, we'll have to keep going as we are.
If Class B riders are that upset that they don't want to be combined with Class A, and you would know Kev, being the rider rep. I suggest you speak to Jim Parker and ask him to give you a grid for 24 or less bikes.
