Date for your diaries. Saturday 10th July. We're hosting the grass track champs for the WM again. New venue B13 8NE Moor Green Lane. Queensbridge & Bishop Challenor School Field. Racing Starts at 11 and continues till 5:30. Don't feel you have to stay the whole time. We need marshals, timekeepers, setter uppers, taker downers. We had a great day last time round. This one is set to be much bigger. Please sign up. Huge thanks.

Put me down as a taker downer please Ade

Thanks Dave

As you know, Beacon RCC is delighted that Bishop Challoner and Queensbridge schools have agreed the use of their Moor Green Lane playing fields for the British Schools Cycling Association Regional Grass Track Championships which we are hosting. The event will take place on Saturday 10 July and we will be welcoming young riders from age 5 – 13. For many of them (probably the majority) it will be the first time they have raced and we want to make sure that they have as good an experience as the riders who ride our time trials and Audaxes.
It would be great if you could sign up for one or more of the jobs. Dopn’t feel you have to stay the whole time. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ade,

I'll be able to join you from 10.30 until 1.30 if that's ok?

Hi Ade, I'll be there for take down. Might pop over earlier to catch a bit of the action. Good luck
