If you will stop protecting uneconomic sugar beet production in England and stage cheap and good Fetch Miles, we will be able to buy more textiles from England". Angular Fetchies - the economic recovery is in our hands.

I think I could offer the Henderson Track in Norwich as an option, it's big plus point being it wouldn't cost anything to use. However it is an old cinder track (440 yards) despite being tidied up during the summer it is still quite lumpy and bumy in places. Also you just get the track, no changing or toilet facilities to go with it. So I think what with the extra travel compared to previous venues for most, it probably isn't much of a viable option.
