If you can host the competitions, this is exciting news indeed.
The only problem with Ratho (which is a great facility) is the location.
As Robbie Phillips mentioned these are big events now, the YCS expanded to 300 competitors, which with the spectators means possibly 1,000 people (in practice not everyone brings 2 parents).
I don't think you need to be that large though, as Ratho managed to remain open for punters during the YCS and there was still floor space available. Hired tiered seating might be enough.
Also if Ratho car park fills up it's a bit of a walk to park elsewhere.
The BMC AYCs have decided Ratho is the only available venue for the YCS, if you could persuade them otherwise a few parents from the South would be extremely happy.
