Racing was suspended following a single-rider incident at the end of the Open Masters race, we wish the rider involved well with their recovery.

Due to the delay, and venue availability racing was unable to be completed for the Senior and Junior open race. As per our statement earlier, we'll have a wider update vis-a-vis Senior and Junior Open Championships in the coming days.
