Cor! you must 'ave had loads of pen friends at the age of fifteen, Alf. Anyway what time is kick off on Saturday?

14.09hrs - when (the legend that is) Colin Speakman will be blasting off from the timekeeper.

I'm at your disposal for marshaling Alf , if I don't hear from you I'll head to my usual haunt :- mini r/about Aberdulais, for 2.00 p.m., after the long 'un.

OK Kev, thanks mate.

Oh, and where's my price?

Tomorrow p.m!

First rider off is now Nigel Pitt at 14.02hrs.

I predict a BLAZING 23 for me.

Forecast is for sunny spells, wind speed 5mph.

C'mon Davey boy! You're doing a Les Thomas and 'underpromising' to look even better when you go 90 seconds faster.

Under-promising........It's the Mayday bank Holiday bound to be wet and miserable.... respectfully cautious I say

Will there still be a 10:30 tomorrow?

Yes Tony There is always a 10.30 ride regardless

Thanks mate.

OK, to confirm.

Gary will be doing the signage.

Chippo will be pushing off.

Everyone else is marshalling.

Thanks for your support everyone and good luck to all PTW's in our Club Handicap Event.

Don't forget it's our Club Handicap event! We hope to be able to work out the handicaps at the event.

Thanks to everyone for helped out with the event yesterday - it all seemed to go quite well.

Well done to the Port Talbot Team of Rod Hicks, Mark Stacey, Hugh Davies and David Crowley for securing the 'home win' in the team competition and also to Kieran John for winning the fastest junior award and also to Hugh Davies for securing third fastest vet on standard (giving him a bronze medal in the unofficial veteran's world championship).

Cheers Alf! Well run event again, thanks for the sunshine although booking the headwind was a bit unecessary.
