Saturday 8th Feb

Blessed with a better day and were able to use the short circuit again.  Although a few nexcomers, were missing a few of the regulars, aprticularly the faster ones.  Ten laps for everyone today, the circuit is two and one eighth of a mile around.  Next week is at Sproatley, east of Hull, at the same time.

lst group :  Mick Adams, Alastair Watson, D Lazenby, G Lawling, Gary Sheriff, Paul Hayward

2nd group: Paul Kilvington, Derek Palmer, Tony Boynton, Rob Almond, Ryan Maclachlan, Steve Macklin, Chris Burton, Mark Best, Richard Bielby

3rd group:  Neil Cleminshaw, Dave Shackleton, Nathan Chester, Mark Dicconson, Paul Purdy, Mike Moss, Charlie Evans

Not so well organised today, my fault in some part for not explaining the rules to the newcomers.  There were no 'chat' laps and everyone went like hell from the start making it more like a race of attrition and the first group split asunder n the first lap.  Friendly eh?  I know the first time trial is only a week away but at theis time of the year it is still better to ease your way into it.  I gather one of the groups had some rather fast cornering which might be considered risky - there's no need to take risks when you're training.   Someone at the Stockbridge corner took it very wide and a motorist came back to complain to the marshal there - fortunately Mike Frow managed to appease him.  Everyone is looking a bit stronger each week - keep up the good work.  Funniest quote of the week from Charlie Evans, He said at the finish, I've only got 58 minutes on my clock, we'll have to go for a little ride to get the hour in".

Here's the lap times:  (and last week's report if you didn't see it)
