The 2nd event of the club’s evening 10 series was another chilly affair which probably accounted for the poor turnout and the generally slow times.
A check of the local weather history showed a peak temp of 26’ C on May 11 2008 so the 6 – 8’ last night was very definitely unreasonably unseasonable.
With Mr Dennis pushing off before departing with Mr Blackmore to a London South committee meeting, it was down to Mr Woodward to step up to the plate to claim top spot.
1st Richard Woodward 27:48 2nd Ian Thompson 29:24 3rd Robin Johnson (Brighton Mitre) 32:04 4th Roy Brown 32:24 5th Robert Thompson 33:59
With Ian’s son Rob looking to join the club, Dan Farmer will hopefully have some competition in the junior racing this year. That said, Dan arrived for marshalling duties on a snazzy new Specialized Transition and will be hoping to make a splash this season.
Thanks to Mick and Chris for their ever reliable services with timekeeping and to John G for kindly sweeping the turn corners.
