Newport
2004
Prime
promoted a mega event at Newport on December 29th 04 this winter-
we had over one hundred riders at the event. The event was split
in two with Women and Youths working on skills
for the first hour and three quarters, followed by Seniors and
any Women who wished to continue.
We used Derny's for through and off and Keirins, in a varied programme
to suit all tastes.
I know to see some of the "Dad's" riding and thoroughly
enjoying themselves was an absolute delight for the Coaches.
Fortunately there were enough hire bikes to go round on the day,
and we had some offers to improve matters in future from the Velodrome-
they hadn't seen anything like the numbers on a training session
before.
I believe from the comments on the day the vast majority of people
enjoyed the day, a long hard day for us, but the rewards were
well worth the effort.
