The road racing club’s directors and members have worked diligently behind the scenes and they deserve great credit for what they have achieved so far,” he said.
“The event has received much-needed support from Council’s Tourism Events Recovery Fund and it’s encouraging to see the benefits of this in action as a demonstration of Council’s commitment to securing the future of our borough’s leading events calendar.
“Safety is a paramount concern for organisers but with the pandemic’s public health advice continuing to be a crucial consideration, this had added meaning this year.
“We all need to continue to keep our distance, wear a mask and wash our hands well in order make further strides towards normality.
“I’m looking forward to attending the racing on Saturday and I offer my best wishes to the organisers, volunteers, riders, their teams and all spectators.”T
