Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Club 10 summer series is over for 2024 

Some numbers:- there were 190 competitive rides, which is down from last years 224. 

20 different club members took part, which is down significantly from last year’s 28. 

63 of the rides were from visitors, for which we are ever grateful. 

Best attendance for the series was Geoff Lovelady who rode 14 times.  

Without people volunteering to help out, the 10’s simply wouldn’t happen.

To Ann and Graham Gregory for sorting out signing on, pushing off and timekeeping throughout the year. 

[Ann was a bit under the weather for the last event, we all missed her and hope she’s feeling a bit better sooner].

To the Marshalls, Alan Silver, Ady Japp, Carl Ruebotham, Colin Latter and Jim Williams. 

We acknowledge all your time and thank you all.
