All,
As many of you will know, after 3 years, I announced my intention to stand down as BRCA 1/8th Truggy Chairman at the end of this year. This is mostly down to a number of things but most notable is; at last years BRCA AGM attendance at the National Exec meetings was made mandatory. This isn't a bad thing but unfortunately its just something I can't commit too; although this year I have attended all but 1 of the meetings (last week there was a meeting I couldn't attend)
Generally the BRCA Chair is moving the organisation to do more and more that will impact the sections more, including such things as a global online booking system etc which from my own personal viewpoint means more work for the sections rather than less.
Whilst I can see many benefits of this in my view I strongly believe that the BRCA Exec should be a thin organisation and the sections themselves should take charge of the details. I want to stress though that there are a bunch of excellent people at the BRCA who work hard to ensure that you are able to race/bash etc. I wish the BRCA all the best.
However, this is not the end of the great Truggy racing that you have participated in. Subject to interest from you the racers I plan to continue running a National Championship under the banner of UKTruggyPro. The format will be similiar to this years championship.
But it really depends on YOU the racers if we do this or not.
If there is enough interest then:
I will be looking to put together a 5/6 person comittee with the following positions:
Vice Chair
Media Secretary
Rules Secretary
Track & Safety Secretary North
Track & Safety Secretary South
Track & Safety Secretary Central
(Some of these roles could be joined but I want 5 people including the chairman on the commitee ideally).
The plan for next year is to hold 5 rounds similiar to this year at the following tracks:
HNMC, Clanfield, Deerdale, Coventry and NNRC.
Subject to the final decision of the commitee and the agreement of the tracks above. The above tracks have excellent Truggy membership and have contributed over the years immensely.
On Sunday I'll be speaking to as many of you as possible and if you think this is a good idea let us know. If you are interested in helping me keep running this excellent series again please contact me, note though, There will be a decent amount of work for you to do!
I'd like to thank the following people for their support over the past three years:
Kevin Alcock
John Geaves
Tony Drabble and the Deerdale Club
Dan Foulds
Martin Withey
Jamie Booth
Mike Craddock
Jon Dell
Darren Bloomfield
Jon Hazlewood
Colin Long
Apex Models
Blue Groove Racing
Custom Built Racing
MK Racing
Phil Mcmahon
Phil and Ali and the former NORC guys
Dez Chand
The MaxBashing Crew for keeping me running during the races!
Tony Bolwell and the Clanfield Club
Tim and the J28 Crew
Richard and the CMCC
Les and the J12 club
Jim and the guys at HNMC
Doug and the LMCC
Glyn and FMCC
And all the racers!
Regards,
Neil.
