Looing this up, it appears that you need to grow your plants to a larger size than you would normally before planting out so they have a head start, also add some lime to the soil especially if it's a bit acid and make sure it drains well.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

In addition to the above, there are some varieties which are more clubroot resistant than others.  I don't grow them but you should find them on a search of the forum, if others don't post any suggestions here
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I grow the club root resistant varieties of broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts and swede, just to guarantee some sort of a crop.  I then fill in with varieties that I want to try, and make sure the ground is well limed, plus I grow the plants on in at least 3"-4" pots, and then just put a dusting of lime around the planting hole when I put in the substantial plants.  I have found that Candid Charm cauliflower does well, despite not being club root resistant - just ensure the ground is well limed about a month before planting, and a dusting is applied to the plating pocket when putting the young cauliflowers in.
