The money for the resurfacing also came from the estate of Leonard Lyes who was a De Laune member, and officiated a couple of decades ago - so his club mates were there in tribute to him.
The "invites" were sorted out away from the action up in Manchester, so don't feel offended by not getting asked along. A lot of people who made it only found out a couple of days before through word of mouth.
Jeremy White was one of the De Laune's in attendance who organises the Spring and Autumn Omnium series, (of which there is a specially reschedualed on this Saturday at 2pm) http://www.hernehillvelodrome.com/sessions-and-events/racing-calendar
