For some years more than half of our competitors have been vets (ie. age 40 + ) so the committee proposes to run a competition based on age categories. This should introduce more competition than that provided by a single Vet on Std award. The numbers competing in 2016 were as follows:
87 Club members rode 1 or
more events
15 were 2nd Claim riders
72 were 1st Claim riders
46 were Vets (age 40 or over) ie. 64% of 1st Claim riders
26 were Seniors or Juniors
Of the 46 Vets, this is the breakdown by age:
