THANK YOU:
Commissaires John Buckton
& Richard Jenkins.
Thanks
to Rocky Fortuna who did Everything this week.
With Richard and Matt away, Rocky deployed the witches
hats, swept the track, took out all the sponsors
advertising, vacuumed out the clubhouse and took the
photos. How do I know? Well unlike others who seek
to remain anonymous, Rocky handed me a list of
everything that he did and, whilst pointing to my legs,
"suggested" that I publish it on the web. So from
all your club mates, THANKS ROCKY ! Thanks also to Anna Fortuna for manning the canteen.
Thanks to Joanne Buckton who manned the Registration
desk and to Bob Bykerk who assisted.
Thanks also to our safety marshals Pat Naughton, Leo
Neil-Dwyer and partner for assisting as safety marshals. Thanks to Leeann Emery for
being our First Aid Officer.

REPORT
The good news: The Rain Stopped
The bad news: The wind returned to
Heffron.
Return it did and with a vengeance that saw
most grade peletons converted to 3 or 4 smaller groups and then
dribs and drabs many of whom shortly thereafter were relegated
to spectator.
The A Opens worked well swapping off turns
together in the gale force conditions and had pulled back the A
clubbies within 4 laps.
The combined group then proceeded to turn
riders into spectators until there were only about half doz
left. Two of the A clubbies were able to stay with the
bunch and figured in the placings

The a grade sprint and Nash Kent
takes it out followed by Joe McDonnel then came Dave
Stevens and Ben Elliot both A clubbies. |
Back in B grade, the old blokes gave
the young blokes a bit of a lesson in staina and riding
in the wind. Above Chris White and Dave Jackson
launch their attack off the front of B grade. the
two worked well together and continued to put diistand
on the peleton. |

About 2 to go and big Bazza launces
off the front of the peleton and in his words tried to
get across to the two escapees. He had NO CHANCE
but he did manage to stay away and put 3rd place
in the bag. |
Final lap and Jacko was less keen on
that "lets ride up the straight together idea" than was
Whitey. |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Of course after it was all over Bazza
proceeded to tell Whitey and Jacko that he held the
bunch up for them to get away. Yeah right Bazza !! |
Much the same deal in C grade with 3
escapees getting away and working well together.
In fact they rode so well that they lapped one of the C
grade trailing bunches. Of course Tony Caruana,
who never misses a break, was there and finished second. |

|
E grade action as the bunch battles
the gale down the start finiish straight. D grade
was cancelled with only 4 riders who elected to have a
go with C grade |
Young Keiran Bull once again showed
that he was just too fast in the sprint and took out the
E grade event. |
