OK,
IF you were to enter the V24 Club end of year event 'round the wrong way' which is a basic race around the IOW, your costs would be the following
Entry = £ 60
Licences = £120
Crash Helmet + Lifejacket x 2 = £600
Fuel + Pre-Race Lift and Scrub up = £425
Total cost say £1200.
Similar case - not much change....
That is without doubt the cheapest race event in 2008, so the question is not really that the organisers are pricing the event out of your reach, bet that your reach does not make it to racing.
Our end of year event is run at a loss( without any party, food, entertainment etc ) Just the paying for the RYA fees and officials travel etc we make a loss.
By my calculations, the CPC is only about 16% more expencive than the RTWW event we are running... And you are going to get mooring, party food etc thrown in.
I think the people that can complain are those who are being charged over bout £350 for entry. Personaly I would like to see lower entry fees, and our club does this - but the costs involved are huge.
