Did the organisers not consult with other biking stakeholders like WB before taking the decision?
They did advertise in the press asking for volunteers to attend boring Health & Safety meetings. They got no takers and no support from local businesses.
I've read some of the comments written by the organisers on facebook and they didn't just randomly decide on a change, it was a change coming for a few years and brought about by health & safety requirements that are impossible to meet in the town.
If you want another event I would suggest time is best spent organising one rather than whinging about what other volunteers have done or not done.
However be aware that there are issue like health and safety, licenses etc. that will need to be met, so organising something like that is no easy task.
I am glad there are people willing to do these tasks and then take the criticism - a lot of it ill-informed and unjustified.
I may be in a minority - possibly a minority of 1, but I think the move to Bowood is an improvement.
