With various rule changes and updates dealt with, it was discussed how we can encourage more of our younger grassroots riders to enrol to race and enjoy the sport as the youth series is officially taken on board, Sudbury MCC who have been pioneers for bringing on younger riders and will hold 6 of the 7 events in addition to Bury MCC hosting a round at Hawkenden in April.

With 7 Youth events confirmed for the 2024 season with a popular prize giving ceremony after each race for each section all kindly Sponsored by GH Motorcycles and GB Finch the interest so far is promising.

Jamie Roper and Will Hughes – 2 Man Championship winners

It is hoped with careful calendar planning the clashes of Motocross and Enduro will be fewer and the familiar faces in the top ranks of Motocross will again grace the top spots in the 2 man series sponsored by Dave Barkshire Motorcycles, which sadly suffered with lower entries last year resulting in the cancellation of a couple of events.

Eastern Solo Clubman Champion Billy Sargeant

It was discussed how we can encourage riders to enter as a fun event to do with friends who may normally just do track days as a step up in addition to the serious competitors chasing the points in a championship class, this will hopefully reverse the falling entries for some of the dates and keep the 2 man Championship series afloat.

Eastern Solo Clubman Over 40 Champion Dan Rose

Thanks were paid to the hardworking committee members who keep the eastern centre up to date & ensure smooth running of an action-packed calendar as we look forward to a new season.
