There's a lot of great points on this thread... probably the busiest thread for quite a while...

The concern for me though...

If you put aside the fantastic archive of info that this place is...

If there's 20000 people on the facebook group, 8000 in the FRA and (at an optimistic guess) 30 people who post here regularly or semi-regularly.... there's a fair chance the powers that be will decide its just not worth the hassle and close it down.

This would undoubtedly be a terrible thing... we should do all we can to keep the forum busy... post up any up-to-the-minute info re races etc, and if its in our power, encourage others to use the forum, particularly RO's etc to share info on here...

A great example was during the various lockdowns, when race cancellations and re-schedulings were posted up in here on the "Another victim" thread, and that thread was often way more up-to-date than the (excellent) race pages on the FRA website itself.
