They will run as 2 separate events and run as 2 separate championships, with the best of 3 to count on points, to be eligable for the championship we need you to a member of BADLRC at £25 per year, This will then allow you be part of both events as part of the championshipb if you like, so if you did 3 of the Northern and 3 of the BADLRC clubman challenge (1day events) you would then be eligable for both championships. The events will run as 2 seperate events so all scores will be seperate.
-
Right then everybody never let it be said that we (BADLRC) don't listen to you guys. This is what we are doing:-
The Northern Challenge Series will stay as a 2 day event for teams of 2 vehicles at a cost of £75 per vehicle
We are going to run another event along side it on the Sunday called the BADLRC Clubman Challenge for single vehilce entries costing £50 and will run Sunday 10am till 3:30pm entries will have to be capped so that we dont over crowd the site
We look forward to your support on which ever event suits you either the 2day 2 vehicle Northern Challenge series or the 1 day BADLRC Clubman Challenge. This is hopefully a way of putting on an event that suits you guys the competitors.
Many Thanks

I fully agree with gsr341,
Agree a formatt, agree a time, agree a structure, agree a scoring system, publish it prior to the event, and stick to it !!!!,
don't make it up as you go alomg and forget to tell everyone.
Why do 2 day events ???
Why do events have to be 2 vehicles ???,
it puts more pressure on the drivers and also puts a lot of people of enterering, if one fails they both fail or if one cannot turn upon the day for various reasons etc, it isn't always easy finding a partner for everyone, I know the club can partner people up if needed, it's not an option I would like to take with a stranger or a hopelessly miss-matched couple.
Also the road legal bit may have an effect
Just observations
Chris WE have fixed the above issues from our last event, the relevant person has had his ear bent by me, and I have pointed out the error of his ways it will all be as published I promise, I will however check the scoring for you as I wasn't aware of an issue there, i will get it all published in the event final instructions that will go out prior to each event. thanks again for pointing it out.

Matt and co, I will definitly not be doing the first event this year, at the moment I have no steering (parts for hydrosteer arrive in 10 days) and many other things not ready yet following a total re-build/re-chassis although I could get a partner but its difficult to say until parts arrive and work!!
Probably see later in the year,good luck.
Thanks for your comments etc, hope your steering parts arrive and you get rebuilt OK, we look forward to seeing you later on in the year,
-
Many Thanks for the feed back and comments guys, we will listen to all comments made and try where possible to build them in to our future events, might not be this year but we will bear things in mind for next year. What about if we could build into our events the choice for either one vehicle or teams of two and what about being given the option to enter either one or two days, we would also appreciate your comments on whether you think this may work? if thought about and done properly it may be a worth while implementation for both the club and those of you taking part.
Those of you that did our last event and had issues with the night stages, we have put things in place to stop this happening again, and I have done a lot of work with the paperwork to improve communication for the competitors on the day, We will issue final instructions prior to the event by email giving details of site location where to park, event start times format of event, times of day and night competition start times, start process etc, this will mean that you will know prior to your arrival at the site what will be going on and where we would like you to park etc. And if we ever have to change any start or finish times and only for good reasons these changes will be issued on event bulletins that competitors will sign for and will get a paper copy( these will only be issued as last resort)
All our events this year will take a similar format to our last event with day time special stages on the first day followed by some night punches, we will use our punch draw system that has worked well on our recent events to avoid congestion at punches etc eg you draw a punch ticket at event control, this has a number on that corresponds to a map reference or punch number on the event map, you then go off and do that punch knowing that no other crew will be doing the punch when you get to it as the ticket was in the bag, and you can only draw for tickets that are in the bag, some will be single or double tickets, you carry, you carry on drawing for tickets and doing the punches until the event finish time. this method has allowed us to keep things moving on some very compact sites. This method is different from other events but feedback on this has been good and those of you that have done our other events know that it works and keeps things moving nicely.
I think i have answered all the questions
look forward to anymore feedback

It looks really good value for money, pity they are all two day events.
We are having a meeting with the challenge team this week and if we can sort it out we may try and offer a choice of either 1 or 2 days if this would make things a bit more appealing?watch this space for an update from me
