Yesterday was the final round for the Neccl Winter series at a rather cold Hetton Lyons Country Park. The forecast was looking awful all week with heavy snow forecasted but later in the week it changed to heavy rain / sleet then changed again to strong winds and Baltic cold temperatures. As ever Hetton provided both the wind and cold. The course was based on the hill side of the venue with a challenging course taking in loads of different type of terrain. The ground conditions were hard and semi frozen so there was very little mud. Following the kids and main race we handed out the prize money for the riders who completed the league. Then it was onto the Agm where I was presented with a surprise bunch of flowers and a bottle of bubbly. Many thanks from myself, Jane, Angus and Arran for those involved in this. Heather H was also presented with flowers and a bottle for all the help during the season. The agm followed and we ran out of seats and standing room. It was fantastic to see so many riders, organisers and helpers stopping back to discuss the future of Neccl going into 2019 with a provisional calendar of 10 events all at different venues, its looking good. All the best from MBE and hope to see you all back in Sept 2019.
Regards Scoty
