As above really, Risca based, fancy a potter around mid to lower end for a bit of fun during the winter.

Are there many series/ events around and which best?

All you need to know.

Tidy, cheers any other suggestions/info for very local races, would be nice to just pop out for an hour or two and just race with really minimal travelling

Just over the bridge you could also try the Western League races, not too far to go.

The Welsh league has us travelling a fair bit this year.
Cwmbran was a close one .. and that was 2weeks ago.
There is a Cardiff one in December I think??

Cool ta, may try a couple of the more local ones, time a bit of a premium with work, and the family atm.
