That concludes Non-championship September so Week 1 of the new championships will start next week. It will also be the first Truck week next week, but that will be non-championship until the new year.
Just a reminder that 2021 BRCA membership is required and the race fees are now £3.50 Senior/£2.50 Junior
Results from the first 3 weeks back are now available. Going forward, the remaining 2 weeks of September will be non-championship and we’ll get going with new championships from October 6th. Short Course will also kick off then.
Hi All,
Apologies for the lack of updates since the grand re-opening but life just gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, it was great to see so many of you come back over the last couple of weeks and for those that haven’t made it back yet, we look forward to hopefully seeing you at some point in the future. So, what have you missed? Well, a couple of big announcements for starters…
The club’s legendary low race fees that haven’t changed for 20 or so years are going up. The hall fees have increased every 1 to 2 years for the last 10+ years and regrettably we need to bring the race fees in line with that. This is something that we had scheduled in for last year but pandemic etc. etc. So, from this week the race fees are as follows:
Senior : £3.50
Junior : £2.50
Alan and myself are stepping down from running the club at the end of the year. It’s not a decision that has been taken lightly and we both have our own reasons for choosing to do so at this time. Between now and the end of the year we will be looking to establish a new committee. If we can get everything arranged without the need for an AGM, we will but if we have multiple volunteers wishing to take on specific roles then there will have to be a vote as a bare minimum.
As it stands now, the following people have put themselves forward for the following positions/roles:
Mark Hainsworth : Chairman (New)
Dave Andrews : Treasurer (Continuing)
Jodie Moon : Race Controller (Continuing)
Kyle Moon : Chief track designer (Continuing)
Nessa Moon : Catering (Continuing)
Hopefully I haven’t missed anyone out but just because someone has already put their name forward for a role, it doesn’t mean you can’t too. If more than one person puts their name forward, then it will come down to a vote. We are still looking for more people though as many hands make light work and we are specifically looking for someone to take over the website content and administration. Currently we are running a WordPress based site but if you have experience in another platform then is no reason you couldn’t switch over to that if you took the role on.
So there you have it, it’s the dawn of an exciting new age at the FORCC and it’s a great opportunity for a few people to step up and take the club into the future.
Good luck and welcome back,
Jon & Alan
