CHAIRMAN's REPORT
It was a case of
de-ja-vue for Lamberhurst. Dry weather leading up to the meeting
meaning that we were greeted with a track that was a hard as
concrete on the Saturday morning. The decision was taken to
water the track which was done throughout the day and into the
night despite the forecast for heavy rain. And indeed it did
rain heavily overnight which meant my phone started ringing
about 6.30am with members wanting to know if it was on. The
track inspection result was perfect conditions so the meeting
was run which resulted in a smooth flowing meeting with no hold
ups.
The only downside to the
meeting was the riders that failed to turn up because of the
rain. These riders missed a good meeting and in fact the track
dried out so quickly we even had dust appear by the end of the
day.
The BSMA Semi-Finals
were held last weekend at sunny Stratford Upon Avon and the Club
was heavily represented by it’s members that qualified for the
event.
Credit must be given to
all the riders and their families with the way they acted while
representing the Club. It was a very successful event for the
Club with East Kent taking over half the 50 spaces up for grabs
for the finals in the groups that we had riders entered for.
Congratulations to:-

Special mention should
also go to BW rider Jack Cameron who in the 1st
race dismounted from his bike and went back to help a fellow
Club member who was pinned underneath his bike. Great
sportsmanship Jack !
Finally can I remind you
all not to start any bikes before 10am on Sunday morning.
Yours in Sport

| GENERATORS
We are particularly seeking your co-operation in
regard to limiting the use of generators and excessive noise, late
into the night and beyond! Please remember we are a
schoolboy/girl motox club so naturally there are a lot of youngsters
in the paddock and other riders, who will be riding the
following day and need their sleep.
Will you please, at all meetings where you are
staying overnight, turn your generators off by 10:30pm and generally
keep noise down to a minimum.
Thanks very much for your help in this matter.
