BUCS champs 2014

Not anything to do with the actual BUCS champs, but is along the same lines. It's a new race series that will hopefully be starting up for students and just needs to generate interest at the moment. It would be great if you could give the facebook page a like  https://www.facebook.com/britishuniversitiesdownhillseries

Great idea.

Haven't had any updates in a while. Has the organisation got any further?

in terms of BUCS or BUDS?

BUCS we won't hear from them until 2 weeks before the event leaving a mad dash to get vans, minibuses and entries organised.

BUDS is struggling a little to pull in the extra attention it needs for it to be taken seriously by potential sponsors/backers... stuck on 1100ish likes for a couple of days now

Thing is though.. its at 1100 now.. how many riders are actually at uni right now in the uk who would race? Is 2000 too big a target? Bearing in mind bucs has usually around 300-500 entries? really hope they pull it off though! 

BUCS - on route to London for a meeting this afternoon so should have an update on the Champs 2014 by the end of the day.
BUDS - I would reckon there would be 400ish potential entries but my question would be how many weekends are free from National/Regional dates? I know just trying to secure one weekend free for the BUCS Champs isn't that easy.
