A warm evening, ideal for racing , well supported by the three youth categories but sadly a lack of senior riders. Brian Evans opened the senior B league with a well timed dash for the line closely followed by Rod Kelson and Lorretta Hanson visiting from Australia. John McClelland won the 10 lap A race but was chased home by Martin Dawkins making his first visit to Welwyn this year.

Best Senior race of the evening was the 10 lap odds and Evens Pursuit – neck and neck for eight laps but the team of Joe Gorman, Andy Hastings, Al Luxford and David Langlands slowly edged ahead and won by 10 metres in the fastest time of the year.

Honours in the Youth A group were spread around while the strong contingent of 16 riders in Youth BC saw Karl Jolly notch up three wins but chased hard by series leader Will Raymond and Michael Parry. The points race was marred by a minor crash and a restart with the culprits given a warning by the Chief Commissaire as to their behaviour.

Joe Latham was on good form in the Youth CDE group with two handicap victories in the 13 strong field. The closing senior 10 mile came down to eight riders for the last half of the race – John McClelland winning the final sprint by inches from Mark Smith with Cameron Gutteridge promoted from Youth A taking a well earnt fourth place
