Top twenty Club Races for 2004: Handicap/
Attendance Scheme - 8 out of 20 possible races to count. Please don’t forget to sign in the book each time you attend a club
session (but only pay once per week) as each attendance at a club training
session is worth 1 point and to be eligible for a trophy members must
accumulate at least 30 attendance points during the year. Each attendance at a “Club” designated race
earns you 5 points (see below). 50% of
the required points must be achieved by attendance at training sessions.

earned, are as follows:
