According to the BC website, all of the East Mids Road Races are in Leicestershire. There's nothing in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire. |
Who the f**k is George Green? Darley is in Derbyshire.

I thought we were talking about Road Racing here not closed road or circuit racing, so Darley Moor and Thoresby are out.
George Green was a miller in Nottingham, he was barely educated and almost entirely self taught, yet developed one of the most important mathematical theories which had far reaching consequences, for example, in the field of electrical theory. Green's theorem gives the relationship between a line integral around a simple closed curve C and a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C. It is the two-dimensional special case of the more general Stokes' theorem.
Looking at the BC calender I can see 5 road races in Leicestershire + 1 women only race, 2 in Lincs if you include the Lincoln GP, 1 in Staffordshire which is not really part of EM, 0 in Derbyshire, 0 in Nottinghamshire |

He received little formal education.

Mmm Greens Mill on Sneinton Dale, it's less than a mile away yet I've never been and thanks to Nottingham's inner city education in the 70's and 80's I learnt next to nothing about it. Thank you Ray for your brief history lesson.
Back to the thread, what happened to the proposed Notts and Derbyshire Evening League?

I'm not sure an Evening league was ever proposed. Not much point in an evening league when you can race either Tuesday or Thursday at Mallory.
What's needed is a weekend league. |
