No change at the top, Giles Pidcock holding on to the lead, despite puncturing on Milby in the final event. Had Matt Mannakee’s group managed to get across, it could have been so different. There were some big changes in the top ten overall, the biggest surprise was John Oldridge’s move up to 3^rd overall, although he has been nibbling away all the series, scoring 6’s and 7’s.

James Gullen, best junior, in 4^th, will be one to watch next season, should he decide to join us again.

Over 40 vet, Carl Saint, who tells me it has become part of his training program, has supported the races for the past 2 seasons.

The over 50 vet prize was won by Ian Hagyard but it was a fairly close affair with Trevor Larcombe only 8 points separating the two.

Over 60 vet Malcolm Robinson finished in 14^th overall and who had some notable placings over the series

The Ted Bell Team Shield, donated by Airedale Olympic, was won by York club, Clifton cc, who managed to get 2 of their riders in the top ten of the last race, despite the fierce opposition from the Yorkshire Road Club.
