chair report: most
races had 40+ riders but those with less lost money. a couple of
incidents, and the league is striving for greater safety using
motorcycle marshals, but at additional costs. grant to be sought
allowing finish/timing equipment purchase. thanks to motorcycle
marshals, all race helpers and sponsors. the elite open and
stage races are to be repeated in 2008 due to support and success of
2007 races. 30 races are planed for 2008 season, including a 4
stage race. neutral service assistance is needed.

report: new longer stage race for 2008 plus open elite race.
some of the motorcycle marshals are to qualify as commissaires.
plan to have motorcycle marshals at every race. thanks to all
helpers and marshals.
accountants report:
income/expenditure per race explained and typical costs incurred at
each race. error on spreadsheet will be reconcilled, balance sheet is
correct. £4000 grant received due to loss of eastway circuit, as
a concequence there was a £2500 surplus, otherwise a loss would have
occurred! any race with less than 40 riders runs at a loss!
early season races show a surplus, but several in mid and late season
run at a loss. typical expenses per race are circa £350. unless
financial issues are addressed, 2008 could see a considerable loss at
the end of the year! without the £4000 grant the league would
have a £zero balance after reserves!
