Unfortunately the number of events, and variety of locations, seems to have dropped over the past few years.<br /><br />When I first started competing there were regional events probably on average every 2 weeks throughout the whole season. Then the GP series took off, and over a couple of years got pretty big. It got to the stage where people were concentrating on that as a series, and less and less people were going to the regional races. As a results many of the regional races dropped off the calendar. I think this is probably part of the reason the GP was stopped for a while, to allow these races to come back, only I'm not sure some of the organisers are willing to risk all the effort when not many people might turn up.<br /><br />The regional races do seem to be making a bit of a comeback now though, which is good to see. Hopefully they'll all be well supported, and a few more in other areas on the country will come back eg Sheffield and Doncaster, which were both good races.
