I have never been convinced that Labour Day Monday is a great choice for Horsham to host a special meet
You are not going to attract many long weekenders as they are on their way home - you might get a dozen (I saw 3 caravans parked today and of course there will be some cars)
There will also be locals that have gone away
I dropped in for races 2-4 before the 40min spacing kicked in (and I have been on this day before)
The weather was good
The club heavily promotes their Drivers Championship and had a special womens luncheon on
There was a pony trot and a MC doing plenty of interviews (he should have been in front of the grandstand instead of the parade ring)
We still need more to do between races. The club does not do dining and the ladies had the lounge with the track view this year.
I am NOT complaining about the clubs efforts
My concern is the opposite - the effort they put in for so little return
I did a couple of counts and although there was well over 100 in attendance, it was not close to 200 (even with the 30? ladies)
I know people say crowds are not important but I am not one of them
