Road - Tim Lawn/Ken Houlberg |
Racing is continuing, participation feels down on previous years within the club although I don’t have any figures to back that up with. That said we have had a couple of new racers dipping their toes in, hopefully this will continue with regular entries.
|
Time trial - David Knight |
We have run 4 events so far with a total of 37 entries:
18/04/2024 - P829-9 13 riders total (7 members / 5 guests ) 02/05/2024 - P829-6 7 riders total (7 members) 16/05/2024 - P824-10 7 riders total (7 members) 30/05/2024 - P829-9 10 riders total (6 members / 4 guests )
We charge £3 per club rider and £6 per guest and we have to pay CTT £3 per entry, so we only make £3 on guest riders, of which there have only been 10 so far, so £30 after levies have been paid. The hall hire is £22 per event and the coffee and cake is about £5 per event.
The long and short of it is the lack of numbers, particularly guest riders, is resulting in us running at a loss of approximately £20 per event. in my mind that is quite small in the grand scheme of things but thought we should discuss.
May be a need for a new timekeeper shortly.
Open 28th July.
