Help required – Mallory Park circuit races 7^th and 9^th June 2011

The Mallory Park circuit races take place every week on Tuesday and Thursday.  The organisation of the events is shared across clubs, and the CCC’s events are on 7^th and 9^th June.  There is a youth event starting at 6.45pm and the 3^rd/4^th Cat event starts at 7.15pm.  We need some help of both evenings to look after the signing on and to help record the first 10 riders across the line at the end of the event.  Please let me know if you can come along to either of the evenings.  (Rita Humphreys 07870 237374).  The location is Mallory Park, A5, A47, A447 to Kirkby Mallory, just above Hinckley – the circuit is well signposted from junction 1 on the M69.

If anyone has a good quality digital video please bring it along to help us film the finish to help with rider identification.
