CONGRATULATIONS

January closed with Harry Reynolds superbly winning the Middlesex Junior Boys Champs at Harrow School and thus being what we hope will be the first K&P of more to be selected for their county for the English Schools Champs to be held on March 16th in the private grounds of Catton Hall,near Walton upon TRENT in South Derbyshire,just 4 miles off the A38 near Burton upon Trent. Aaron Bruce was also well up in 16th place.

We now await corrected results from Reigate of the Surrey races - only clear selection is Phoebe Law who was 2nd in her Inters race to clinch the trip to Derbyshire with Harry,though two others look to be in contention.
