Agree which would be a shame at a time when grass roots needs to be on the ball given the amount of races that are falling off and they local funding they normally receive to support.

I usually do Clifton, Darlington, Malton and Croft “club 10s” between Open races. All do prizes, trophies and an overall.

I guess there wasn’t a presentation evening either, Clifton’s big club so this does surprise me, a lot.

Craig - not sure if you’ll see this, can you give any light on this or the series? Thanks

Yes would be a shame. My son loved riding and focused on the 2023 series based on potential rewards as advised on the link - points etc. heard nothing re awards evening/event. Clifton are a big club so this is disappointing. He races for Clifton and has been a member for several years now. I have also asked for what course PBs are but nothing on that either - would like to know (for my son) to see if he was close / set any new ones. Again, no responses. For a club of this age I find that a shame. The sport is deep in history but an oversight or something here?

I spoke to Alistair about this last weekend at the Hull TT.

He told me that plans are in place (sounds like a lot of planning has been happening behind the scenes) and to be released imminently, starting with a wrap up for last year and a new schedule for this years series, so it will run!

First event is 2nd May I believe, sadly I'll miss the first two due to being in Girona, maybe it's not that sad actually :lol:

Hi everyone,

The delay is predominantly down to me.

Following the Hill Climb, in October, Alistair provided me with an overall list of placings for the 2023 Series and I needed to ratify these to confirm the age group of the competitors, whether they were Members of Clifton C.C. and if all the Series criteria had been met etc. Unfortunately, the Hill Climb weekend was also the weekend I had my accident and had a full right hip replacment and, TBH, Clifton duties weren't top of my list for a week or so, although I did continue to do my usual stuff for the Club. So timescales slipped and we are where we are.

In the meantime, we do have a 2024 Series agreed with the C.T.T. and North Yorkshire police and we are good to go with that and I will publish that on here, on the website and in the weekly email.

I will also announce and organise the trophies for the 2023 winners. Our plan was to have a combined 2023 Presentation/2024 Kick-off evening where we presented the trophies and anounced the 2024 Series but there has just been so much else going on.

We do appreciate the support of all the people who regularly participate in and help out at our Thursday Evening T.T. Series.

Craig
