I agree Mac.
But with little activity on it, its the only way to keep it near the top of the Events Forum column...fancy an entry yourself?
I try to update it once a week when either new entries or payments have been received.
Cheers Bill.

Oh dear, thats a shame.
Maybe if the presentation was re-jigged a little it would be a little more attractive to prospective entrants,
make it a little more dynamic ?? who knows ??

hi Roy, as you know iv not raced for quite a number of years now but i still
have a look around the forum from time to time.
for me it seems a shame that the entry list is a little light and thought it may
help if the opening gambit was a little more dynamic to attract a bigger entry
as we have had such a good response in the past.
cheers

Hi Mac, when you first started Early Birds there wasn't the number of events that there is now so that will be one of the reasons entries are down. also slot racing is going through one of it's regular declines. I haven't raced for a couple of years either.
Hi Bill, I have have some health issues of late but it looks as if, heath permitting, I would just turn up on the day if that's OK. It would also depend on the weather being biker friendly. I have a suitable car I can run around in my shed.
Cheers,
John

Hi John, i hope your well.
i hope no one has taken my comments the wrong way ? they where meant in a lighthearted way
but i wished to highlight were things may, i say may be improved to attract a larger entry list, i
do take your point John as to the number of events today, but i think you will agree, spread over
the year we do have a greater choice but not an overload.
this is one of the reasons a meeting should catch the eye and be inviting, as i was hinting at,
if it stands out from the crowd it stands a better chance of being well attended
With Early Birds you will notice that
The colorful header picture has been dropped.
The banner "early birds 50" has been dropped , {this denoted the final was of 50 laps}
There is no longer a mention in the opening lines its for fine scale models.
THe concourse trophy is not of great significance as against the racing pots. it was supposed
to attract hand built and scratch built cars.
Of course all the above comments are made thinking that WSCC wishes to continue in the same
vain as in the past, BUT, it may be that the present days thinking could be they wish to take things
in a different direction and try other possibilities.
what ever happens i do wish WSCC the very best in the future.
