The pics in this thread may well be from 94, but the UK World Cup round was deffo at Newnham in 1993 for first time, I know this for sure as I 'retired' at the end of 93 and Newnham was one of my last rides. As for me in 1994 I was starting a career in Leisure Management, drinking beer
and spending time with a girl who is now my wife 
Great pics!
Whats scary is that I recognise those bits of course, and the pain comes flooding back!
I still think Newnham is one of the best courses for a race. Good mix of fast rooty downhill, open moorland, bombholes, pipeline, deceptively hard hills, stream crossings, rocky sections..ahh.

A true classic IMO
Newnham '93
I rode in the vets race, think it was 35 for vet status back then. I was nearly always in the prizes at local races but was absolutely nowhere in the national field that day.
I've got similar pics of C Alexander + I think Paula Pezzo (?) with well unzipped top. Ned Overend was there - I was a big fan of Neddy (bit older but could still whip those young punks.)
