Wasnt at Brum so cannot comment on the standard of the meeting either way but I never ( or very, very rarely ) look at a booking list to decide wheather to attend a meeting or not.
Several years ago there was a period where Steve Rees was constantly attacked on the net for drivers being on his booking in lists and then not showing for meetings, bearing in mind that a lot of Steves meetings are on bank holiday mondays, this was hardly unexpected with damage over the preceeding busy weekends.
Steve stated that he was going to stop publishing booking in lists and personally I was quite happy with that, perhaps its time promoters concidered this again and we went back to attending meetings based on our like of the tracks qand the formulas racing, we never had booking lists in the old days and we had much better meetings back then - at least if we were to believe all those people wearing rose tinted specticles that is.

Might make things a bit more difficult for Ped and Jane though lol.
