  HAPPENINGS AROUND THE CLUB

  
  

  XMAS IN JULY HAS SOLD OUT!!

  The early birds caught the worm with this event.

  PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER DUE TO XMAS IN JULY BEING HELD

  *********************
  

  ENDURO EVENT 

  Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st July

  This event is being held this weekend and is made up of 7 separate downhill runs.  Each age category and gender have different runs to do, with the top men’s age groups doing all 7 runs. The fastest combined time over all the runs produces the winners. Once at the bottom of each run, cyclists must get themselves back to the top to do the next run.  You only get 1 attempt at each run so any falls or bike fails can destroy your chances!  They have a set time period to complete all  their runs.
  

  We encourage members to come and watch all events but watching the little kids race is incredible!!!!  The atmosphere at these events is epic!!!

  Come along and join the fun over the weekend!!

  *********************

  The Jackpot Draw was not won last Friday night so this week the Jackpot is $1000 again. 

  **JACKPOT will be drawn until someone wins this Friday Night.**

  The number drawn out was 799 belonging to Kerry Antney who unfortunately was not present.

  The new 2019/20 Membership year for the Jackpot draw will take effect on Friday August 2nd. If you are not financial by then you will be ineligible to win the draw.
