Despite the low numbers of Hemel racers attending, the club had a successful day with : Yasmin Cooper the All England Champion for CH1 and 11th overall in the females,
Josh Penning-Lambert 3rd in CH1 and 60th overall in the Males, and James Grant the All England Champion for Junior 1 with 6th place overall in the males.
