On 18th August our Vice-President Mary Meredith died peacefully at the age of
95. She was the widow of former
president Percy Meredith who had joined the Wheelers just two years after the
club was formed in 1928, and she and Percy were loyal supporters of the club for
the rest of their lives. For many
years we used their premises at Swainshill as our club HQ.
Congratulations to Charlie Cook who, on an End-to-End ride in aid of Help For
Heroes, made some diversions so that he could run up Snowdon, Scafel Pike
and Ben Nevis on the way.
Would anyone still holding a club trophy which will need re-engraving for our
forthcoming Annual Prize Presentation please return it to Chris Hughes as soon
as possible. The committee is also
considering a slightly different format for the presentation this year, in order
to attract the maximum number of our many members, so please offer your
suggestions ...
Who would you like to nominate as our “Club Member of the Year”?
Suggestions please!
Would any member like to volunteer to train to qualify as an official club
coach? And rather more urgently,
Chris Hughes is stepping down as Club Racing Secretary next year, so we need a
replacement - as well as several volunteers to help with all the ancillary tasks
such as setting out warning signs, E-mailing results out, writing press reports
etc. We have gained a lot of very
capable and enthusiastic members in recent years, so this would be an
opportunity to re-pay the work put in on your behalf by the present lot of
hard-working club officials. Why
not discuss what the various tasks would involve with Chris or any other club
official?
Our regular winter turbo training sessions re-start this month (see above).
Members only - £2 per session inc. tea & biccies.
Hall opens 6.45, sessions start 7.15 and last 1 hour approx. You will need to bring a turbo trainer and your bike.
On 23 Sep there will be a brief outline of training and planning for
newcomers and a RAMP test for all. Details
from Bill Berry or Chris.
