Weeton (Keith Frecker Memorial) Stages - 8 Jun 14

Event Cancelled

Posted: June 6, 2014 9:17 AM

"The organisers of the 2014 Keith Frecker Memorial Rally at Weeton Camp regret to advise that the event has been cancelled.

Although we were still 72 hours away from the closing date for entries, the organisers took the view that there was no realistic chance of achieving the minimum entry required for the event to run, and as such wished to give those competitors who had entered as much notice as possible regarding the cancellation.

We can confirm that ALL payments from entries received will be refunded in full.

In addition, it will also be our intention to offer confirmed (paid) entrants from the 2014 event a discount / incentive for the 2015 event, as yet to be confirmed.

We note there is a trend for competitors to hold back on submitting entries until the last minute and this could be a contributory factor with the current entry.

We had done all we could to delay payments yet retain an honourable trading position with our suppliers and the landowner, but had reached a point where payments needed to be made which would have exposed the Club to considerable financial loss.

Although BSSMC has been previously been prepared to withstand financial loss in the interest of the sport, there comes a point that a small entry undermines the credibility of a competitive event and demoralised all the organising team, officials, services and marshals who put in an incredible amount of hard work.

This time something had to give.

The organisers very much regret having to take this decision but trust those competitors that had entered will understand. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support.

BSSMC was the club that established Weeton as a new rally venue back in 1999 and we have run successful events there every year since, as well assisting other clubs / events with access to the venue. The organisers therefore remain committed to running an event at Weeton in 2015 and will review reasons for this year's low entry and options for changes in 2015. We welcome any feedback (positive and negative) that may help us in this process."

Adrian Atkinson:- Chairman
Mark Hothersall:- Clerk Of Course.
