Gerry Thurlow memorial crits.

Anyone else ride/remember them, when they were held at Swinderby?
First three Saturdays in March, one held in driving rain/snow, one in a gale & one in glorious susnshine!
Cats' Eyes on the runways, the size of tennis balls, parked Vulcan bombers & massive bunches/crashes.

...and while we are at it. Is the Eddie Soens memorial handicap race still going?

Yup.

Gerry Thurlow's still going too, but moved to the Yarborough Leisure Centre many years ago. It was at Scampton & Waddington too, after RAF Swinderby shut.

I remember the Scampton ones, early March as you said. Fearsome crosswinds!
