Title: Old School Racing - Preston
Post by: Cotty on August 08, 2007, 10:08 PM
After having a TOP weekend at MK I was talking to the Chairman of the Preston Pirates BMX Club (Shaun Calvert) last night and telling him about the whole event and the number of riders that turned up.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that he is quite keen to get OS racing going at the club and would support it in any way he could.  There was mention of funds being stumped up by the club, if the 'series/events' were to become a well supported feature.

Let me know how much interst there would be for this in 'North Region' terms, or even if there was to be a National OS Series that the club could get involved with.

Cheers
Cotty

I agree with Lee, we need every region to get its own series going, only then can we have national events :daumenhoch:

I'd certainly make the trip to Preston if I'm not working.  Wife's cousin lives in Bolton so anywhere around NW would be cool.  I'm sure some of my fellow countrymen could be persuaded to come down too  :)
