Once again we are at The Manor in Meriden, where in the afternoon we will have our riders meeting to discuss the 2024 season and the new 2025 season. We should by then have a rough idea of what meetings we are likely to be invited to and would like feedback from you all about this year and any suggested changes to the way things are done in 2025, please email these suggestions beforehand so we can have a think about them.
