Final Comments 2009

NYMBO League 2009

The season seems to have gone well although numbers were slightly down on last year with an average of 91 riders per event but we still broke even – there is £25 left in the bank!! This is fine by me but FC access charges are likely to increase next year so the fees may have to go up as well.

At the final event of the season at Fearby near Masham, prizes donated by WESTBROOK CYCLES and T shirts from Running Imp were awarded to the leading riders after John Dixon had sorted out the final positions.

Congratulations the 2009 NYMBO League Champions – best 6 scores from 11 events
