Statistics show that public interest in a sport rises dramatically if someone dies.

We need a volunteer.................................

It was encouraging over the weekend to see all the peopl lined up on the peir only for the weather to spoil it
I must have done something wrong then, coz not into sport really or ever raced before my son took it up 4 years ago....(syill not raced only train now)

In the begining there was a lot of kids from parents associated with the sport, most have gone onto other things, Frank, Will, Sophie, AJ, etc it's the next generations and others from outside that are needed to bolster the sport and move it forward.

I like the idea of calling into schools in the town where races are being held, just got to sort out who, where and when now, thanx.
