Yesterday saw the 4th and Final Regional Round of the British Youth & Junior League combined with the 4th round of the South East GP held at Somersham.
In gloriously sunny conditions, the riders decended upon the small Suffolk village track and showed up in force providing the most riders on the day for the Regional Rounds.
A big thank you to Bryan Harvey for his efforts during the week in preparing the track and giving the gates a fresh coat of paint.
Racing began on time and thanks to great organisation and teamwork between Ipswich, Kesgrave and Gt. Blakenham officials ran extremely slick too.
All the riders from U8’s (with two 4 year olds racing) right through to the Vets provided a great afternoon’s racing for those spectators lining the track.
Thankyou’s also go to Sami Harvey, Georgina Gilbert-Rolfe for running the clubhouse, Bill Brooke for helping set-up and again to Bill, Steve Copping and Gavin Whitehouse for reffing. Terry Ashford for providing the PA System and the Riders and Parents for making it a great days racing in all.
