Thanks to a collaboration between the association and Ledbury MCC, this will be the 3rd double header at the Sparrington Farm venue on the outskirts of Bromyard.
The meeting will also include the Geoff Adams memorial in memory of Minsterley Motor Club stalwart and former clerk of the course.
JJ Falconer and Reggie Goodwin will duel it out for top honours in the E-Bikes. Both had tasted victory this season and can provide some close racing in the youngest category.
Youth champion Dalton Wright heads a bumper Auto Cadets class. Wright is currently leading the championship and is in fine form. Kobi Gutteridge is back after missing round 4 due to holiday, and Levi Collins returns for his 2nd FGA meeting of the season. Championship regular Noah Bakewell continues in his debut season in the 50cc class, whilst Harry Worrall makes his 2nd start with the FGA. Arlo Bourne joins the class for his debut as he follows in his older brother Kaylem’s tyre tracks.

Cadet youth champion Albie South also returns to FGQ action after missing round 4. South will provide championship leader Dakota Wright with some stiff opposition with Lilly Bence joining the duo for her 2nd cadet outing.
AJ Bence looks to continue his Cub championship title assault after winning last time out at Hampton Heath. Bemce will have to get the better of the fast-gating Lucas Astley and the returning Kaylem Bourne. John Cox Jr. is the sole Junior again and will hopefully be fit after his rib injury sustained at Helsby.
Wayne Broadhurst will be looking to regain the Geoff Adams cup, which he won last season, and also claw back some points on championship front men, Adam Hawker and Colin How. Currently, Hawker leads How by a solitary point. All three will be keen to get on the rostrum but have their work cut out as 2024 champion Graham Thomas returns to FGA action. Also throwing their hat into the ring for victory are Kevin Gwillam, Phil Thomas and the Rowson brothers. All 4 are capable race winners and will be looking to take top honours.
Glyn Edwards and Jack Crewe both showed signs of pushing into the A final last time out and could sneak into the top 8 if things go their way in the Herefordshire countryside.
Practice commences at 12pm with 1st race at 1pm. It’s free admission for FGA spectators with camping available for £10 all weekend. Admission for Sunday is available on the Ledbury MCC website.
Sparrington Farm, Pencombe l, near Bromyard HR7 4SL.
