SB stated that the site falls into the Green Spaces area which encompasses sport/play and leisure facilities. Toilet facilities would be a priority for making the site suitable for all users. SB said that the council would be looking at ways to solve the current maintenance issues, hopefully in partnership with the Club.

c) Coordinator’s Report – GW handed out the coordinators report. Copies available on request.
d) Treasurer’s Report – FB handed out the Club’s account sheet.

BRITISH BMX CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009
23 CGR riders were part of a strong North Region team at the 2009 BMX British Championships held at Broadway House Park, Cheddar on 20th September.
With over 700 entries the event was a massive experience for the CGR team, many who were riding their first Brits.
The weather was perfect for Sunday’s racing and our riders did themselves proud both with their attitudes and performances:
6 & Under Boys: Morgan Chidley easily qualified to the knockout stages in a group of 37 riders, he cruised through both his quarters and semis to book a place in the final. He lead the final down the first straight before losing the lead, not defeated Morgan pushed the eventual British Champion all the way to the line to finish 2nd in his first season of racing.
12 Boys: Ashley Walker rode well and was unlucky not to make the knockout stages finishing 21st overall out of 30 riders.
13 Boys: five CGR riders in this group of 28. All riding well with Dan Billington having only been riding since the start of the season but keen to progress. Aaron Brown was on fire in his qualifiers but unfortunately got a bad start in his semi that he wasn’t able to recover from so went out at this stage along with Jordan Taylor, George Hammond and Alex Guest.
14 Boys: Shane Dean, riding on the regional number 1 plate, was doing well in his qualifiers making it through to the knockout stages where he went out in the semis finishing 14th out of 36 riders.
Junior Male: this is where the racing gets tough and exciting – 24 riders all with something to prove makes this class one of the best. Four CGR riders saw Kyle Evans come out on top with 3rd place. Levi Ashley had an unlucky day going out in the semis after a first turn disaster, Adam Guest also went out in the semis and Dean O’Neill going out in the knockout stages.
Male 19+: another exciting and close class of 26 riders. CGR were pinning their hopes on Stay Strong World Champion Marco Dell’Isola to take the win but it wasn’t to be as Marco came home in 3rd place, Shaun Issitt also made the final coming home in 7th.
Female 8-9: Melissa Guest was unlucky not to make the final and finished in a good 11th overall.
Female 10-12: Josie McFall riding her first season had a great experience at the Brits and was unfortunate to go out during qualifying.
Female 13-15: 21 riders in this class with Emma Myers making the semi finals in her first season. 15th overall was the final result for Emma.
Cruiser 12 & Under: Chris Worrall lined up for this one on his second bike and was looking good for a place in the final until a poor start in his last qualifier put him down the pack and he was unable to recover to go through leaving him 9th overall.
Cruiser 30-39: Alistair Burton was our lone entry in a class of 41 “older and crazier” riders. With four riders tied on points at the end of the qualifiers Alistair went into the run off which he won by some distance to book a place in the quarters. A good start saw him keeping out of the way of a first straight crash before avoiding carnage in the first turn to surprise himself with a trip into the semis. One race too far as Alistair went for an early shower finishing the day in a very respectable 16th place.
Old Skool: a new category for this years Brits was the Old Skool category for original BMX bikes from the 80s/90s. Some of the loft relics were dusted down and Phil Critchlow brought his classic home in 16th place.
The Club were placed 18th out of 50 and did their bit to help the North Region take the Regional title.

He lead the final down the first straight before losing the lead, not defeated Morgan pushed the eventual British Champion all the way to the line to finish 2nd in his first season of racing. 8 Boys: Morgan’s brother, Mason Chidley, another rider competing in his first season had a tremendous day in this very competitive 33 rider class. Like his brother, Mason cruised through his qualifiers, quarters and semis to line up for the final against riders who have a couple of years experience over him. Mason rode a fantastic lap to come home in 4th position.
10 Boys: Charlie Walker surprised everyone with some excellent qualifying results to book his place in the quarters. A tough draw meant Charlie had to work hard to get his place in the next round which he duly did. The semi was a race to far and Charlie went out at this stage finishing 15th overall out of 36 riders.
11 Boys: only 31 riders in this class meant straight to semis with no quarters. Chris Worrall and Jack Critchlow both rode well and qualified through with ease. Drawn together in the semis against some of the best in the country proved too much with them both finishing the day 10th and 11th respectively.12 Boys: Ashley Walker rode well and was unlucky not to make the knockout stages finishing 21st overall out of 30 riders.
13 Boys: five CGR riders in this group of 28. All riding well with Dan Billington having only been riding since the start of the season but keen to progress.

BC BMX NATIONAL SERIES ROUNDS 9 & 10
Fourteen CGR riders were in attendance at the final rounds of the BC BMX National Series in Bournemouth over the August Bank Holiday weekend. A weekend that would also see the Alex in action at Bournemouth – who would uphold the honour of Cheshire?
With riders looking to consolidate their ranking positions the weekend was set for some fantastic racing.
Saturday was warm & sunny with the following results recorded:
Male 6 & Under: Morgan Chidley eventually finished 8th in the A final after a fall while in 2nd place.
Male 8: Mason Chidley made the A final but unfortunately crashed out.
Male 11/12: Chris Worrall made quarters but in a strong age group of 35 riders didn’t progress any further.
Male 13/14: Three CGR riders in this age group with Shane Dean coming out as our top rider with a 3rd place in the B final. Alex Guest, Aaron Brown & George Hammond were all eliminated at the moto stage.
Junior Male: A massively competitive category saw Kyle Evans crash heavily in his B final & Levi Ashley make 8th in the A final. Adam Guest had a 3rd place finish after riding consistently all day.
Male 19+: Shaun Issitt had a semi final photofinish that went against him to put him into the B final where he had a comfortable win.
Female 8-9: Melissa Guest had a good ride to finish the day with a 7th place in the A final.
Female 13-15: Emma Myers was attending her first BMX National event & rode well with a B final 3rd.
12 & Under Cruiser: Chris Worrall had an A final 5th to complete a good days riding in two categories.
Sunday was gloomy, windy & overcast, some of our riders had a similar day!!
Male 6 & Under: Morgan Chidley had a disappointing day for the wrong reasons. Having ridden well through his motos an incident occurred with his brother that culminated in him missing his semi final. The organisers ran to the rulebook which meant that Morgan progressed no further.
Male 8: Mason Chidley’s day was going well with moto wins until a horrendous crash in his 3rd moto left him unconscious & had him sent off to hospital. Overall a bad day for the Chidleys, these two are ones to watch next year.
Male 11/12: Another quarter final exit for Chris Worrall, better moto results than the Saturday though.
Male 13/14: Shane Dean finished 7th in the B final having struggled with a wrist injury for some of the day. Aaron Brown, Alex Guest & George Hammond again were eliminated at the moto stages.
Junior Male: A better day for Kyle Evans saw a fantastic A final 2nd place, with team mate Levi Ashley in 7th. Adam Guest duplicated Saturday with a B final 3rd.
Male 19+: World Champion Marco Dell’Isola had a nasty crash during the motos but recovered to take 3rd place in the A final. Shaun Issitt put the semi final issues to bed to make the A final, eventually coming home in 6th place.
Female 8-9: Melissa Guest had an A final 8th to finish off a good weekend.
Female 13-15: Emma Myers rode well again & seemed to be enjoying the experience. A good B final 3rd rounded off a good weekend.
12 & Under Cruiser: Chris Worrall had moto wins today & finished in a good 5th place in the A final.
The following CGR riders have completed the required rounds to gain a National ranking:
Morgan Childey – 5th – Male 6 & Under

Chris Worrall – 29th – Male 11/12

REMEMBER THIS IS YOUR CLUB
A massive thank you to everyone who helped out at the weekend with the event. Those who were on site early both days, those who did the on event duties, those who stayed behind to clear up and those who made all our visitors feel welcome. It was appreciated by all and your help has been noted.
To enable future events to happen this sort of commitment goes a long way to securing this.
On a slightly less positive note there were issues raised by the local police with car parking on Victoria Avenue which I hope non of our members were guilty of, as this may have a negative effect on whether we are allowed to hold future events.
The Future
Regular work parties will start soon to keep the track in top condition and to also keep the site tidy. All members will be expected to be involved in some capacity - the quicker it gets done the quicker the riders get back on track.
Thanks again for a positive show of strength at the weekend.

TUESDAY COACHING SESSIONS
There seems to be some confusion about Tuesday night coaching sessions.
So that everyone is aware the following three rules will be enforced from now on:
1) Sessions start at 6pm. If you are late you will not be allowed to join the session as it disrupts the other riders - you will be asked to wait until 7pm before riding the track.
2) No clip pedals are allowed during Club coaching sessions. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
3) Gloves, long sleeves, long pants & a full face helmet are required.
In the event of sessions being cancelled these will be posted on here before 5pm on the day of the session.

The BC BMX National Series Rounds 5 & 6 were held over the wet weekend of 6th/7th June which saw our riders back in action on home turf at Peterborough BMX Track.
Things weren't looking good heading into the event: a trip to the Met Office website predicted doom and gloom and good sprinkling of rain threatening to make it more Peter-bog-horror.

NATIONAL SERIES 2009 - ROUNDS 1 & 2 - DERBY
CGR travelled to Derby over the Easter weekend for the first National of the season. The event was extremely well organised by Derby BMX Club & racing took place on their super long track at Alvaston Park.
The weather was dry (apart from Friday nights gate practice) & out of the 480 riders there was a good turnout from CGR.
Some unoffical CGR results from the weekend:
U12 cruiser - Chris Worrall took 3rd place in the A final on both days.
10 Boys - Charlie Walker moto's on Saturday & didn't quite make the semis with a run off on Sunday.
11/12 Boys - a tough age group with 37 riders saw Ashley Walker & Jake Jones go out in the semis on Saturday with Chris Worrall not quite making it out of the motos. Sunday saw all three riders go out in the quarters with Chris Worrall winning his run off by a good 10 bike lengths.
13/14 Boys - Shane Dean had a good ride on both days. Results to follow. Jordan Taylor Griffith rode the Sunday in his first National & was unlucky to go out at the moto stage.
19+ - Shaun Issitt made the B final both days in a stacked class including World Champion & UK BMX legend Dale Holmes. A quality run off ride on Sunday took Shaun through to the latter stages.
Junior Men - Levi Ashley, Kyle Evans & Ash Davey all in this super fast category. Levi was flying all weekend & got A final 2nds on both days, the win is surely round the corner. Kyle was also on top form riding up an age group A final on Sunday & definately going to be a contender this year. Ash is another to keep an eye on. Raw talent & will be up there with the best when he gets his gates sorted. Awesome cornering & jumping skills all weekend.
Elite Men - Wozza Bancroft rode well all weekend after a lengthy lay off with a knee injury. Still wearing his leg brace Wozza was unlucky not to make the main on Saturday but made up for it with an A final appearance on Sunday. Not on top form & obviously still feeling the knee problems.
Official results will follow when released from British Cycling.

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING?
Since the track has reopened there has been a lot of positive comments made about the work done...this can be seen by the amount of use that the track is getting & also the numbers of "visiting" riders that are coming down.
Training sessions are now well attended with riders progressing & getting fitter.
Thursday gate practice is also popular & is getting visitors from all over tge region.
Saturday's have been gaining popularity in the local area with plenty of new faces appearing to hire bikes & helmets.
Sunday's Community StreetSports Sessions are now regularly attended by upwards of 40 riders from the local community.
There are now three schools on board for the the extra-curricular BMX sessions. These sessions are now on a Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. The sessions are aimed at getting pupils active & onto a bike, hopefully feeding into the StreetSports or Club sessions when ready. Vale Royal are also keen to use the CGR way for their own schools sessions & possibly a Club link for the Winsford track.
All positive for the future....let's keep it going.
