Why can’t the conference be done 24 hours after the final meeting of the season? Does someone say “nah we’ll wait for 3 weeks until mid November sometime”? Poland as usual, professional, done and dusted and clubs completing their line ups for 2024! Its a Company AGM! The BSPL and the clubs have to submit their end-of-season financial accounts as well as declaring their intentions to run in 2024, as well as all the operational issues that need sorting. They can't do that the day after the last track action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bourbons, chocolate Hob-Nobs(they are good), .......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Chocolate Hob-Nobs are the Premiership League of biscuits though... it's Bourbons for you... unless you move up of course, in which case you can have the Chocolate Hob-Nobs in 2 years time!

I hope we don't move up to make the numbers up(2 + 2 = 5) as we would need Ryan & he is rumoured to be with you again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s only costing £1k each to attend that’s not much money and I doubt many promoters get the chance to go away during the season. It's simply doesn't have to be in Tenerife. It's ridiculous. They expect riders to be professional and committed. Not treat it as recreational and indulge. It's double standards. They punish such as Boxall and R Worrall while on the job, then they indulge themselves in a holiday jolly when they should be concentrating on the job in hand. If they were professional and business-like, if they had a clue how to conduct themselves, they would have the meeting within a suitable business-like environment. They haven't a clue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
