FCC Races

[rob f]

What races are in next seasons in the FCC? Im curious because i know a few but not all of them.

The Elite Competition group minutes suggest:

March 9 - Sarum National, Hindon, Long
March 21 - JK, South East, Sprint
March 22 - JK*, South East, Middle
March 23 - JK, South East, Long
April 5 - British Middle Champs, Tamworth, Middle
April 6 - British Sprint Champs, Warwick, Sprint
April 19 - BOC, Culbin, Long

*The JK would include an elite class for the 17-20’s with the Saturday being a Middle distance race, running with 21’s. The 18’s Trophy’s being awarded to the best placed 18’s in the 17-20 Elite Class.

FCC Final is 3rd/4th of May in Yorkshire.

I think that should be
April 6 - British Sprint Champs, Coventry, Sprint - I can see people going to the wrong place (old map fragment by the way --->>

Definitely a step the right way to run 18 with 20 for FCC, hopefully this trial goes well and 2009 can be combined for every race.

Also good to see a move towards sprint too, after all it is a main discipline now. Are we going to see a sprint final?

Yes, but will the JK 17-20 trophy (or M20 or whatever it is called) be awarded to an 18 if they finish first? History suggests otherwise, and would be good to see it changed.

I would hope that since it says "elite class for the 17-20’s", rather than 17-20 to just run the same course, that the winner gets the M/W20 trophy,and the M/W18 trophy if necessary
