Attendance Scheme/ Club races – 2005 details:

Top 25 Club Races for 2005: Handicap/ Attendance Scheme - 10 out of 25 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. 

The 2004 Attendance Scheme proved to be a huge success with most members attending and racing on a regular basis. However the overall winner of the 2004 Attendance Scheme was Simon Bellwood. 

 

The Club races for 2005, where points can be earned, are as follows:
