Event Report
Fund-Raiser MTBO for IoM Agricultural Benevolent Fund
Well, they say that the sun shines on the righteous and we were treated to the finest spring evening so far this year. The event was contrived at short notice to raise funds towards the farming community who have been so badly affected by the recent heavy snowfall. A good entry of 46 turned out and a good time was had by all. As a special fund-raising incentive, competitors could pay an extra £10 to “purchase” an additional 50 points and many showed their support by taking this option.
Paul Kneen put in an amazingly quick ride to pick up all 24 checkpoints coming in just 4 minutes over the 2-hour time limit! This made him the clear winner with 571 points ahead of the 2-man team of Steve Collins & Allan Thompson on 540. In third place on 535 were the powerhouse team of Elliot Baxter & Rob Sorby. Julian Corlett (having already ridden for most of the day) came in 4th on 530 with a fantastic effort from Dave Gooberman & Catreena Quirk giving them 5th place. In all, the event has raised £530 for the charity and we will be presenting this at the earliest opportunity. Many thanks to all of you who supported the event (some contributed without even entering). With a full summer calendar, we are not sure when the next event may be possible but are considering a Saturday morning option. Full results are on manxtimingsolutions.com.
