Sports
Day 1975
The ever popular Sports Day was held again this year at Foggarty’s Airfield near Melton. Although there was a mix-up in the departure time from KBCP, the turnup was extremely good.
The course for this year was freshly mowed with the result that the weaving course was extremely slippery for the first few hours.
After Jol had finished his cup of coffee the events got underway. Only one club member turned up on a smaller machine than his usual bike, and was soon told that he would be ineligible to win any events. So, please note this if you intend doing the same yourself in future years.
Many new faces were at the events and they, too, were ineligible, as they were unfinancial, so you will see from the results that the first financial member over the line won.
Mick Fagan did a superb job and became Sportsman of the day. The only mistake he made was weaving around Kate’s BM and knocking it over, thereby cracking the fairing.
The two Musical Bikes events were rather rugged, what with Tom’s wife getting a belt in the head from Kate (I think she ran into her boot), which required x-rays, and David C. received slight paralysis when J.C. jumped full pelt on top of him.
The award of the day for the most drops goes to Anthony Rae, whose 380 Suzi spent most of the day lying on its side.
The results are as follows:
1: D. Cumming 2: K. Sundstrom 3: K. Markham
