A good group of 27 riders made the trip to Johnston Park for the 4th Club meeting of the year. The conditions were good with a clear sky and light breeze allowing fair competition. The meeting was made up of graded short scratch races followed by graded 2 lap sprint races followed by graded 4 lap handicap races followed by 2 lap team sprints and finish off with graded long handicap / points races. Along side the graded races a separate club Omnium competition ran with points awarded based on finishing order in each graded race.

The reason for creating a new crit course at Linton is obvious to those involved in the Army and organising the Novice tour. On the same day that the Novice tour wanted to hold the crit it is planned to have the Army family day which will see hundreds of army families descending on the base to be involved in various activities. With this influx of people and vehicles it was necessary to have a plan B to ensure the smooth running of the crit.
So a new course was decided upon and it was an important part of that planning that a trial run was held to ensure that all areas of running the crit were covered before the date, including how long it takes to approximately complete a lap for each age group.
