Novice & Beginners Rnd 6
On Thursday evening it was looking likely that we may have
to cancel the event. Friday saw a flurry of over 20 entries
so it was game on.
A cool but dry day with the sun poking it's head through the
many trees was to greet the marking out crew. What also met
us was the gate not locked from the last event! Could have
been interesting!
Anyway, Simon went off with Howard to be told where to put
flags. While Nigel and Greg put all the flags in to confuse
John. Section 8 anyone?
After the mid week down pour, Post Hill was surprisingly dry
and grippy. Relatively low scores indicated that the marking
out team got the sections pretty much spot on.
We hope you had an enjoyable afternoons ride around and
you'll join us for the final event on the 26th of this
month.'

Paul Kettlewell was the man to beat on the 50/50 whilst Howard Gulley was the top of the tree on the Clubman course.
well done to everyone and thank for your support. Big thanks to the observers who withstood the biting wind. It did help that the riders weren't hanging around and we were all wrapped up for two!

Novice & Beginners 5th Round
A reasonable day for this the 5th round of this years series.
Some sunny spells for the helpers to mark out the course. Nigel,
Howard, Simon and Jeff were joined by club treasurer, Ben Ludgate
who had dragged himself out of bed, the popular explanation being he
needed to test out the new bike! However all these members did
observe as well, so we had a full complement. Thanks to all those
members and thanks to the riders who supported the event. Apologies
for the delay with the results, a bit of a computer hiccup!

Stan Pitts trial report
After spending all day Saturday, digging, shifting, plotting,
riding and planting flags. 14 sections were waiting for the Stan
Pitts trial.
We were rewarded with nearly 40 entries Some say this is a
shame for the kind of trial this is. However, just to keep this
fantastic piece of land in use keeps us going. Hardly June
weather was on the agenda with brief rain showers and small
chinks of sunshine. I say brief, hardly any! We were over run
with observers and were very thankful that every section was
marshalled.
It seemed the sections got a little harder as the day wore
on, so, those that got off early probably had the best of the
going.
One thing that Halton Gill offers is a good ride around.
So, a simple section becomes an arduous task when arm pump has
set in on the third lap. Danny Gamble was the top dog with Dave
Petty topping the clubman A and riding an immaculate 90's Gas
Gas Anthony Ayrton was triumphant on clubman B with Paul
Gravlstock keeping him on his toes with another retro ride on
the twinshock Fantic. We hope you all enjoyed yourself and tell
your friends for next year....
