Monday sessions at HH

Quote:
Due to high demand, Come and Try It sessions will be run on Mondays through September 2008 starting at 6.30; induction will be included - price of the session will be £3
I think it actually starts at 1800.

I rolled up at 1830 and got some practice and a race before it got too dark (my night-vision is pretty poor) and they were still going at 1945+

so, If you haven't done an induction, or if you want some tracktime then take the opportunity to get down, make up for those wet saturday mornings!

two groups of inductees, and the rest of us rolling around out if their way, then a race each for the inductees and the experienced people.

I think they threw up 10 laps for everybody all in at the end

I went Monday, RPM's Chas Roberts was in full effect. I got inducted and did a good few laps, can't remember but RPM's estimate seems about right - we left and it was still going on. I'll be coming Mondays now.

Btw I loved it.

Thanks for that. Monday nights sound good. Does anyone know if anything's happening on the other week nights now, before the nights get too dark? E.g. I used to nip down on Weds nights for novice racing inbetween league races, but now that the league is finished, is anything else happening instead? There's bugger all info on the VCL site, and I hope someone can save me a wasted trip.

I started a thread on this the other day (but not on this sub-forum) and only got a response saying "try Saturday mornings", yeah thanks.

Cheers guys...

tika! so sorry we basically just fucked off - but you were in a race I was way too knackered for by that point and RPM was leaving....... I realised I hadn't even said bye properly somewhere betwixt Herne Hill and South Drinks - next week, come to South after, it's a gas... xx
