We will need assistance on Thursday 29th with two gangs of members to off load bales at Rusper Raceway ready for the mid-August meeting and then at Horndean for the Double 4 hour. Without everyone’s help with this task these meetings can’t be run. We will be sending out more information nearer the time about when and where help is required, but please can you all make a note of it in your diary.
As with the 3 hour race, each team will need to supply marshals for the race as we cant race without them.
On behalf of the Race Committee I would like to thank all of your for your patience while we have been working to secure a cost effective alternative to the 12 hour that we had to postpone. For those of you that entered the 12 hour, your cheques have not been banked and will be destroyed at the end of next week, unless you want them returning. If you do want them back, then please send me an SAE and I will return them, otherwise they will be destroyed.
