There were two awards not previously announced.

The John Forsyth Endeavor Award winner was Paul Hearne for his selfless help to those stranded with issues at the Hill Climb School days and for fixing the “un-fixable” start-line timing screen!

Congratulations Paul and Andrew!

And thank you to all those who attended and to Becky Crocombe for her organisational effects!
