2019 Battle of the Aarses Results and Report


Message from Club President Wayne Wilson:
What a great day the Battle of the Aarses was!!
 
Some 180 riders from both clubs competing, in good friendly rivalry, across 5 grades.
 
Congratulations to all riders and volunteers who made the day a really enjoyable one and in particular… wearing a club kit set the day off and made recognizing team mates in the bunch soooo much easier. We are on a winner with this move..

Report from Club Captain Mick Cole:
Well, it was another perfect SE Queensland morning for racing and it was great to see so many riders from Uni and Hamilton turn out to support the event. 
 
Firstly, I want to thank the Uni riders, officials, volunteers and club executives for the various roles that you all played in pulling this event together and for the fast and competitive racing. On this occasion, you had our measure, but we’ll regroup and come out swinging again next time.
 
Secondly, to the Hamilton club members, thank you for coming out in such numbers to support the club and the event. I know I’ve said this to many of you already, but it’s these types of events that remind me why I love this club. 
 
Lastly, thanks to all those who worked tirelessly in the background to organize this event. For many of us, the hardest part of the morning was finding a club jersey to borrow, but a small group of dedicated Uni and Hamilton members have worked behind the scenes, dealing with nominations, handicaps, and organizing volunteers, Commissaires, First Aid (thanks A1 First Aid), Coffee (Thank you Skye), and the BBQ (thanks Willow and BBQ Bob!). 
 
Thanks again to all involved and I look forward to adding a HWCC shield to that trophy in 2020.
