The road down to the club is treacherous and only passable with a 4
wheeldrive vehicle. The site and everything within it is covered in
snow, as are the steps and the ramp. Everything would have to be cleared
and salted prior to doing anything, it would then become slippery.
Therefore a red light for the weekend.
On behalf of the chairman.

Maidstone's Dream
Stumbled across this site plugging Maidstone's top athletes.
You'll see a whole bunch of our current and recent top juniors highlighted. A tribute in itself to the athletes, Ray Long, Kate Beaumont and the rest of the Junior Coaching staff in recent history...

Mens Veteran Squad
The Mens Veteran Squad has become a victim of its own success, inasmuch as we now have loads of Vets available to race, but with quite different levels of capability and commitment. Time has now come to add a bit of structure to the Squad. Here's what we propose for the racing Vets:
Novice Squad (first competition will be the Maidstone SBH Oct 3rd) - Coordinated along with the Development Squad (Sat and Sun 8.30 and Thurs 6pm) by Richard H
Bob
Pat
Richard Baldwin (Thor)
Trevor
Ali Machin
Jez
Darren
Marc
Dave Usher
Dave
Competition Squad (Old Duffers) - Coordinated by Henry. Training Sundays 10.30 and Thurs 6pm.
Rob Mac
Bill
Greg
Bert
Pete
Alan Leeson
Alan Rickwood
Tom
Below are Old Duffers who are considering commiting to the Top Squad. Guys please let Liz and I know what you want to do.
Steve Bickers
Graeme Hodgkinson
Mark Dreissner
Top Squad - Coordinated by Liz Machem. Training times to be confirmed, but would suggest 3-4 times a week
Olly
Gerraint
Sean
James
Below are the vets in the senior squad who may wish to support this squad and form a serious Vet 8+ crew targeting Vet 8s, Henley Vets and Masters Champs, choosing to train as an 8 in the weeks prior to these events.

Mark Tompkins

Pluto
Lewin
As you can see, we are still formulating this squad. The key is commitment. If you are not mentioned above, please let us know if you want to play.

That's not all the Vets, of course. We are just focusing on the racing Men's squad. The Recreationals and the Development Squad will continue as before. We are a bit low in numbers with the women who want to race, and so are rolled into the overall Womens Squad run by Anne.
Thanks
Richard
