11 Dec 15: From Steve Manser: "I would like to trial some bike coaching for the under 12's to run after their race. After having positive contact with the event organisers of the Stow Scramble, Trinity Cross, parents and fellow coaches these are the venues I thought to trial the coaching sessions at because these two venues have a little more space and parking should not be an issue. What would be important to me is people's feed back on this as it could see more coaching opportunities for the youngsters next season. Basically I would like to run an hour long MTB coaching session after their race to further develop their skills whilst having fun at the same time. I'm thinking of running the trial sessions foc then if successful a nominal fee to cover my admin and travel costs. Anyone with any queries are welcome to contact me on steve-manser@sky.com. Stow scramble 13th December. Trinity Cross 24th January."
