***NEW *** SIGNING ON – starts at 7.30am and finishes 9.15 am – in the hut beside the start line.
Please bring a printed copy of your ACU licence or the QR code sent to you by the ACU to prove you have a licence, otherwise a day licence will need to be purchased which incurs a fee of £15.
SACU and other licence holders must bring your licence and start permission where applicable.
Please also bring your transponder number to sign on, even if you registered it when you entered.
Also, for riders arriving for Sunday only, you can sign on between 8am and 8.45am Sunday.
Please pick up a copy of the schedule for the weekend when you are at sign-on.
***NEW*** NETT CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS – to qualify for points riders need to have taken out full membership of the NETT club, you can do so online before the weekend at https://nettivestonandsatley.sport80-clubs.com/
***NEW*** MARSHALS – we have a new marshal co-ordinator, Charlene Murphy; you will see her at the hut during sign-on sessions. Please make her welcome and help make her job easier by volunteering to marshal, even just once, this season. You can let her know this weekend which event this season you can provide a marshal for, there are still a couple of places available this weekend too.
*** NEW *** GATE PICK – For the first race of the weekend, riders will pick a peg to determine the order in which you go to the line. Please park in the pre-start area beside the number you have selected.
Your performance within your GROUP in the first race will then determine the order you go to the gate for all the remaining races.
So, the number you are given AFTER the first race then remains the same all WEEKEND. Please remember your start position as the pre-start area may not be manned all the time.
Please be at pre-start area in good time, as riders may be called to the start line when the race before yours is only half over.
