South Essex Insurance Brokers BHS Cross Country Championships Get Underway 24 March 2002

The BHS Cross Country Championships, sponsored by South Essex Insurance
Brokers, kicks off with its first competition on Sunday 24 March, at White
House Farm, Eagle Moor near Lincoln.

The top four riders in each class qualify to compete at the Championship
Final at Richmond EC on 7/8 September.

Rules have changed slightly from 2001 and riders wishing to compete at the
Finals must be BHS Gold members so it is worth getting membership early to
benefit from the discounted entry fees for the qualifiers.

To celebrate HM The Queen's Golden Jubilee there will also be a Young Riders
Points Championship for those aged 25 years and under, to compete for a
Jubilee medal at the finals.

For schedules and entry forms please send a large SAE to The BHS
Competitions Office XC, Stoneleigh Deer Park, Kenilworth, Warks, CV8 2XZ or
check out the BHS website for all the latest information as new dates and
venues will be added to the list below.
