LACK OF ENTRIES FORCES WIRRAL 100 TO CANCEL 21st-23rd MARCH MEETING AT ANGLESEY
From Wirral 100 here
https://www.facebook.com/share/15p14iBK4Z/
Sadly, despite the widespread encouragement the Club received after it reversed its earlier decision to suspend racing activities for 2025 and to go ahead with the above exploratory race weekend, there are insufficient entries to enable this test day and race meeting to go ahead.
Despite the huge amount of administrative work carried out by Club officials and our friends at NG Racing over recent weeks, supported by the Anglesey Circuit, the marshals, and the medics, it is apparent that there are nowhere near enough riders able or willing to help us make the meeting a viable proposition.
With a little more than two weeks to go, only 24 riders have paid their entry fees, and whilst another 40 or so have indicated they wish to compete, the total number of likely entries will still be totally inadequate to avoid the Club incurring another substantial financial deficit, similar to those that were suffered in 2024.
Hence, this decision to cancel the meeting.
ENTRY FEE REFUNDS – the Club will now promptly reimburse all entry fees (including garage & transponder fees) received for this meeting. Riders should therefore email the Club treasurer davidfrancis_is@yahoo.co.uk with the relevant bank details – account name, sort code & account number.
The Club’s committee will now spend time reconsidering its plans, membership fees, etc and advise its members in due course.
