Many thanks to everyone who pulled together in the usual team based and professional way to make today a success. Particular thanks to Terry who dealt with everything that got thrown at him with good humour!

Some very nice comments about the event

What a brilliant run event this was -- faultless. New organiser Terry and his band of helpers should be very proud of their efforts. Oh and the cakes were brill.

Not a fast day today. But a great event.

Big thanks to Ogmore Wheelers for a brilliantly signed, and well organized and run event.

A super event, well organised and excellent tea and cakes. A big thank you to the organiser and team.

Okay team - all I can say is what an absolute treat it was to work with you all and for us collectively to have put on another fantastic OVW event.

I know "thanks you's" can sound almost automatic and insincere ..... but it would be impossible to overstate the number of thank you's that are due to all those who played their part in making yesterday's TT match our wonderful track record in holding this event. It was a long day for many - and long will we value that.

I should not in all fairness single out any individuals for mention as so many went the extra mile to ensure things went to plan. Having said that, I do need to say that without Teresa''s help on all the 'behind the scenes admin' (cannot believe how much of that there is) then I might possibly have been a total wreck by the event start. Also, Andy's army did a wonderful job on signs and seeing Andy making a start when it was barely light was heart-warming.

I have had several mails from riders who expressed how much they enjoyed the event and in particular the friedliness and helpfulness of all the marshals/pushers etc.

It might have been my name on the form ... but it is clearly an OVW success ... which means it is your success.

One last time with gusto ...THANK YOU

Thanks Terry and the Oggie team, the 2017 'Carl Roach' was meticulously planned and beautifully run - a privilege to ride for the Wheelers.

Last lot of well deserved 'patting on the back'

Great event, efforts by Terry and the gang much appreciated indeed! :-)

Thanks again Ogmore, hope to see y'all again one day. :-)

Agree above about the excellent event. All the volunteers were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Well done Terry for getting results out so quickly. Have a lie down today !!

Many thanks to Terry and all at OVW for another superb event -- as you'd expect from the club.
