I'm not convinced that this annual ritual is necessary unless bulbs get overcrowded, which can happen with some crocus. I repot frits about every 3 years and some narcissus at about the same interval. In between times I top-dress the pots with Vitax Q4 & give the plants a regular, dilute liquid feed when in growth. They seem to do reasonably well under this regime. I wonder if anyone has ever made any systematic observations on the supposed benefits of annual repotting?

This is something Ian has condisered and tested over many years.... this Bulb Log has some of his thoughts on the matter :http://www.srgc.org.uk/bulblog/log2005/210905/log.html
