THANK YOU:
Commissaires John Buckton
& Richard Jenkins.
Thanks
to Rocky Fortuna who once again put us all to shame in
the club management stakes. He, not only, assisted
Richard in deploying all the safety equipment. He then
single handedly vacuumed the club house, cleaned out the
toilet and shower area, scrubbed the tiled floors,
dusted off the trophies (none of which have his name on
them) and took the photos and even though he had both
his hands full at all times doing tasks including taking
out the sponsors advertising banners, he still managed
somehow to sweep the track everywhere he went.
Thanks also to Anna Fortuna for manning the canteen.
Thanks to Joanne Buckton who despite being sick as a
dog, single-handedly manned the Registration
desk.
Thanks also to our safet marshal Sean O'Neill Thanks to Leeann Emery for
being our First Aid Officer.

REPORT
Just 3 A opens this week. Robbie Cater
and Brendon Brooks & Nathan Rollason. The boys worked well
together to pull back the A grade club peloton which started 1
min 20 seconds in front of them.
Despite big turns by the Walton brothers the 3 A Opens kept
catching at a rate of about 11 seconds per lap.
By lap
10 the A opens had caught and were now deriving the combined
peloton. After a few more laps, Robbie with Brendan second
wheel had a quick look around then launched off the front and
proceeded to ride away from the rest of them. |

Robbie seemed to be having a nice hit
out before he leaves with the team next Wednesday to
compete in this year's Tour of China but did not seem to
want to any more than the 18 laps as he crossed the line
and immediately did a left turn towards the clubhouse. |
Once again Dave Stevens showed that
he was too strong in the bunch gallop to take out the
sprint for 2nd place deposing Robbie's teamate Brendan
Brooks to third place with Dave Walton 4th. Once
again a good mixup with 2 A opens and two A clubbies in
the first 4 places. |

Alex Hinds took a flyer off the front
of the peleton on the bell lap and was able to hold it
to the line. Adriano Maradini (obscured) was
second with Dave Mackey third. |
Matthew Greenwood once again was too
strong for C grade and took out the C grade
sprint. Grade Captain was second. Welcome to
B grade Matt. |

D grade action as t Bebe drives the
bunch whilst Sue Henry (in second wheel above) had a
very good first ever race. |
Even normally calm and collected Dale
can take only so much. Rocky captured this close
up after having annoyed Dale apparently beyond an
acceptable point. too far. |
