At Long Last, Good News From Anglesey - Wirral 100’s Meeting On 31st July & 1st August Goes Ahead.

After the cancellation of six consecutive race meetings at Anglesey since the start of 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the severe lockdown rules introduced by the Welsh Government, the Wirral Hundred club is delighted to confirm that its next race meeting planned for 31^st July & 1^st August should go ahead.

Both the Anglesey circuit and the Club were surprised by the unexpected leap in the relaxation of the lockdown rules, which seem from today (7^th June) to allow 4,000 socially-distanced people (previously 50) to attend ‘regulated outdoor events’ in Wales.

The previous limit meant that on 25^th May the Club cancelled its race meeting scheduled for 26^th & 27^th June, and unfortunately this significant change of approach by the Welsh authorities comes too late for that June meeting to be re-instated, firstly because the circuit has re-sold part of the weekend hire for testing and track-day activities, and secondly because many of the Club’s riders, officials, marshals and medics now have alternative commitments that weekend.

The Club will continue to monitor Covid- and lockdown-related statements by the Welsh authorities for the next two weeks but expects to publish its regulations and entry forms for its race meetings on 31^st July & 1^st August, and 9^th & 10^th October, on or about 25^th June.
