I have lost faith in him and despite me talking to the club president and him intervening and things showing no sign of improving,I have been forced to organise the series differently,I even went to the lengths of asking another club to run the round down there and was refused,To date I have still not received the required info I needed from them and the series is now already running behind schedule because of it,End of story really,I'd be reasonably stupid to think I was going to get a different result from the same people really.

What arranged format was completely ignored?

I concur. Its VERY important that timetables / schedules of events are locked in and advised well in advance. In that respect Billy has acted properly, if he hasn't suffered fools then good on him!

What we forget is that this is not only about the riders, there are a LOT of people involved to put the show on the road and the biggest drain on sanity is uncertainty and indecision, in part because of others who cannot get their act together.

As one of many suppliers to this sporting code and also as one who takes an active support role I think its not an unreasonable expectation to want certainty about the calendar well in advance. Road racing is only a part of what we do and believe me there are plenty of other activities that would be a whole load less taxing and would actually turn a profit!

There is a need to lock in flights or other forms of travel as early as possible to get the best deals, ditto for accommodation etc. Also there are other events and activities competing for attention during the same part of the year. Many have to be planned for several months in advance.

Confirmed rounds with dates are on MZN website
www.mnz.co.nz

**wayne** · 31st August 2013, 20:41

is that the one dated 8th august ?

**Tony.OK** · 31st August 2013, 21:08

I can't for the life of me find any NZSBK dates on the MNZ site

The site really is bloody horrible to navigate, hit the Road race button and it brings up some races for 2 months, then hit same button again and it brings up more till April next year, but no Nats dates.

It's actually Billy's way of hinting that he's far too busy organising a nationals series to have a nationals series.
