Once Jon has got his exams out of the way and we see how the Abersoch event goes, juniorRIBsters is set to arrange events across the U.K.
Local sponsors always welcome

I would just like to thank everyone who was involved in this event, it was absolutely fantastic.

Our two children, thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and have learnt a lot. A big thank you goes to Jonathan and David Manning.

You couldn't have had better weather conditions, and the venue was brilliant.

Thank you so much

Best time of the day was 2min 47sec by a lad in the 8-12year old section.

Best moment of the day was when Greenwood tried the course in Blackjack and could only manage 3mins 20secs
