  1. So 2021 may be closer to a level playing field ..... Could be an opportunity for the UK to re-establish a stronger position
  2. We had gone for a Plan A events 'blow out' 2020 on these rather than a 2 weeks all inclusive somewhere in August I think we all hope Plan B of the holiday in August will be an option - if not we will all be tearing our hair out (well for me what little I have left anyway )
  3. Theatre tickets from last week - offered credit for future tickets or refund and refund already processed Premier Inn - brilliantly proactively made refund offer even on a no amendment room Due 3 days away from yesterday - already refunded Butlins at Easter - refund in progress The Who concert already rearranged for 2021!! Noel Gallagher due June - cancelled this morning with refund already in progress apparently Just waiting on Guns N Roses and Areosmith concert announcements for May and July to be sorted
  4. So not 25% and 75% for each club? Hardly a level.playing field if one club had raced 12 and one 6 when 42 was reached......
  5. Let's hope its needed for it's intended purpose and not just as a substitute for toilet paper
  6. Or everyone flocks out to anything that is on offer because they can again!!
  7. I think it's important that even if it is just a few weeks that we have available that the sport does whatever it can to say we are still here and fighting Infact the same applies to every business and every person all around the world When we do come through this it will be incumbent on everyone to show some real spirit and fight
  8. To Norbold and all those in the same boat - take care and I hope you have the family/friend network to keep you going and as sane as is possible
  9. Wife and I both still working (school and financial services) so as normal as it can be in the circumstances Until Friday still expected to take face to face appointments in a windowless office - whether this will change next week who knows..... Mrs will even be working through what should've been the Easter holiday so kids of key workers can still come into the school whilst their parents do the vital work
  10. They can put it on a Tuesday afternoon in December and I would get there unless physically impossible
  11. From a business point of view (if that isnt a bit crass in the current situation) the question wouldnt care a lot for those in your position (no offence intended ) Say the midweek attendance is 1000 of which 500 couldnt/wouldnt go at weekends but a Saturday meeting gets 1500 due to attracting 1000 newbies I cant see any tears for the 500....
  12. Better to ask Geoff - he only comments when he has proof so must have the link you would like
  13. I seem to remember that Barry Bishop had quoted increase in attendances in the region of 300% Yes from a smaller base but commendable all the same Whether his approach of a inclusive community feel would work in a larger more urban setting is open to debate but I would give it a better chance than many of the current efforts elsewhere
  14. Agree - It will be very difficult particularly if the start is later into the summer and the window shorter If that's the case I'd like to see thought now into a revamped competition to suit those riders available and the time available. This could be team based or individual but IMO needs to be a co-ordinated effort rather than ad hoc offerings from clubs
  15. Looking like P+P wont be needed until at least June and possibly not at all for 2020
  16. There is a BSPA meeting tomorrow - until them there is nothing to update I think we all know what it will be when the update comes though......
  17. Possibly - he is one that likes to push boundaries like with his advance/retard switch (which of course was subsequently banned)
  18. I've seen some lovely looking swords knives and guns too - all illegal for good reason.....
  19. Declare him British, European and World Champion while you're at it
  20. We will let Lukas sprint at it and throw himself on it and see what he thinks then........
