Re: The two strategies etc -
I hate to say it, but this is shambolic.
Agreed, but I hope this is a case of ideas still being batted about, but frustrating if you know what needs to be done...
AUK does have a lot of funds in the bank and could perhaps afford to take a few risks with funding various projects. We have a good, though varied product, distince from sportives and competitive riding.
Better publicity and headlining large scale events are the main points in common I think.
