The odd shower and strong winds didn't deter a great day's racing which was both fun and competitive and where any number of teams could have triumphed, it was that close. However the main winner was as usual service cycling in general, to get almost 40 teams competing on a Friday PM is a succes in itself.

The only downside was a heavy injury to Charile Gaskell, who will be glad to know that the compulsory hardsell helmet rule was enforced. We wish him a speedy recovery.

The event couldn't have gone ahead if it wasn't for a numberof people that I would like to thank:

LPT Cadmore - His first major event as organiser
LPT M Brown - Start TK and deputy throughout
AET Chambers & AB Chambers - There not brothers but worked in sync as the Pusher Off's
RS Cox - Only had a hip injury a week ago but was on the ball as lap counter
POPT Graham - Finish TK
Cdre Beverstock - Our president and VIP for prizegiving
OIC & Security @ RNAS Merryfield - They provide us with a sterling service and facilities as ever
Mrs O and Charles Whitton for taking photos
Bob Richards for lending me a back wheel!!!

Finally to all competitors whatever standard for making it a great day.
