Discussion
I've hung around on here for a while but not posted until now - and the only reason I do so now is because I don't know where else to turn for advice.
Just received the HSC venues and dates for next year and note with despair that double headers at 2 of my favourite venues have been dropped! There is a one day Golspie in March but frankly who wants to go there in March and chance the weather when there's a whole weekend in June we could use? And the reasons? A new double header at Lossiemouth, and difficulty in getting entries?
Lossie may suit some people but not all of us. It's OK if you want a blast on long straights, but if I want to do that I'll go to track days. And the idea of having to stop if a jet wants to manoeuvre - no thanks!!
Entries? - OK it was frustrating being on a reserve list but you usually get an entry in the end cos so many drop out and ADMC managed to get everyone through in October - where's the REAL problem?
I've spoken to my Club rep and the dropping of dates and venues wasn't discussed at the meeting between the clubs and the HSC at Alford in October, so presumably this was an idea one of the HSC committee which came up afterwards. Trouble is, apparently the clubs aren't represented on the HSC committee itself so don't know anymore than I do. I know I can contact "a certain lady" - :cesored: Who else can I talk to? Does anyone know? Or am I stuck with entering the full Scottish if I want to do the events I like doing?

Opps - seem to have trodden on a few toes here, and didn't necessarily mean to do so - all I was doing was A) commenting on the bombshell of venue / event dropping and the fact the affected Clubs seem to know nothing beforehand, and B) asking "Who other than the co-ordinator - no names no pack drill - do I contact? - Who else is on the "Committee"?"
Stiglet again talks about "The Committee", and others refer to all these people doing a thankless task - how can they be thanked if we don't know who they are?! Is it a Secret Club, with handshakes required to enter?! The more evasive people are the more you have to think there's something to hide!!
