PTW

Sunny intervals with a gentle breeze (11mph) - Race Time Temp 17°C

There is rain forecast for Thursday but it should be all gone well before race time. It does look a bit cool though but it's still an opportunity to grab a new SB or PB.

Anyway, here are the essentials;

1. We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven for signing on from about 18.15hrs and closing at 18.45hrs for a prompt 19.00hrs race start.

2. You have to be a member of the PTW or a second-claim member of the PTW. There is no 'single race' fee - you have to join the club as a first-claim or second-claim member and for 2023 this is now £35.00 (£25.00 + £10.00 supplement).

Wow! Three or four PB's tonight and I guess some SB's too. It really was a good night and the wind was almost perfect.

Anyway, John Aspell's great form continues, Grog finally got away from the short 22 blues (one of Elvis' lesser known hits), Emma nabbed a new PB and closed in on a new club record and a tired Stephan snipped one precious second off his PB. It's a tough call for Alfie's MOTM but I've giving it to the birthday boy! Well done Steph!

As always, thanks to Will and Dai and also to JD and Joan and John Shehan. Fab night!
