Hello folks,

Congratulations to all of our prize winners this week, especially to our federation topper Tommy Hibbs. Most scribes report consistent arrivals and good returns this week and it should not be taken for granted as many organisations across the UK are still struggling with returns so many thanks to Billy & Noel for all the effort that goes into making each race as good as it possibly can be.
I thank you all for your time my friends, until next week.
Darren
