Gorcott Hill

Anyone planning on entering I've got the membership cards.

Last year we had a 1st place and a 2nd place from our two entrants so will be tough to match :D

Could be interested in this Tim (for Toby... maybe Isobel) - was going to ask about this on Sunday (assuming it's all go for Derby). If there are any forms to fill in, would you be able to bring them?

thanks very much

The club has bought club membership to the association so all you need is an individual card, I've got them, will try to remember to bring them tomorrow or Tuesday. Then enter and pay on night. It's a good evening and something different racing for their school in their school age. Isobel would do really well in her category I'd expect, Toby can test himself against the climb and there was some very fast times in the older age categories so he could see how he matches up! It's a hard climb but doable. If we had a few enter and enjoy we could then perhaps discuss with Martin if and how we could incorporate a youth club hill climb champs in September, start halfway up the club hill perhaps before the grown ups! I suggested a couple of years back but consensus thought hill climbs were too tough for kids, Jake and Joseph really enjoyed Gorcott last year though I think proving that wrong. The Club Youth TT Trophy goes to the best performances in this, Jake is current holder, if Isobel took part my money would be on her winning it this year.
