Next Worlds

I don't know if there is any discussion anywhere for this, but I want to register my comment about running a Worlds in 2012. I can't think of a reason to do it. It isn't our turn so we don't have to. I believe there is another big event on, which is likely to reduce any attention we get. It is also likely to make transport from over the water more expensive. We can't compete with a hugely expensive international event. I think it is best not to try.

 

I will not be running any more big events. If gNick has any sense, he won't either, so the main thing we need for a Worlds is a person with the vision and motivation to organize it.

 

Maybe we could regard one of our weekend events as "The Nationals" as we used to. It would give others a chance to try running things on a slightly bigger scale.

 

I started running events after going to several international events which were poorly and/or inappropriately organised. I think Tilburg was pretty much one of those. Not enough emphasis on good courses and races. As a rider, I wanted a better event.

 

In my view, providing plenty of interesting and varied racing for the rider is the only law.  

 

On the subject of volunteer organisators for BHPC races, though I have tentative offers for a couple of events and Claire and I plan to do our usual quota too, there are still plenty of events that are open opportunities for members to do their bit for the club.

 

I just go home to the wife - That usually does the trick...
