Customer testimonials

This is the first event I have been to in 12 months. Usually I am so busy I leave it to the last minute and end up missing out. It was so easy to enter. I went online and found this event and a couple of minutes later I was entered. I now only enter events on EventSecretary. HRCAV Rider

Once entries have closed we then create the draw based on your preferences and requirements. We send the Times to riders and manage the wait list, last minute entries changes scratchings until the day of the event. We create running sheets for the office, and even send through the class details in an excel spreadsheet and pdf to enable you to do your own scoring.
