A date for your diaries.

Hi folks, our club AGM will be on the 28th November. If you would like to put yourself forward for one of the club officials posts,  you would like to propose another club member, or you have something you would like to be discussed at the meeting, please let me know by the 31st October so it can be discussed at the committee meeting on the 7th November.

You may be thinking this is a long way ahead yet, but I wanted to give you plenty of time to think about it, and perhaps discuss an issue with fellow club members.

The week after the AGM, that is the 5th December will be signing on night.

Regards, Ann

This is a reminder to all of you wishing to ride our Cyclo-Cross event that the date is 25th September. it would appear that the wrong date was put in the BC handbook.

Cheers, Ann

On behalf of all the members who went to the BBQ on thursday, I would like to say a big thank you to Linda, Ray and Theresa for the hard work they put in to make it such a success.  Ann xxx

As I use the blog for getting messages across to all the club members I do not want to lose it. I don't care about facebook, if you want to "chat" to friends then do so by all means, but please don't take away my main source of getting information to members. I often get people contacting me for some reason or other regarding club activities because of what they have picked up on the blog, and I know racing members go on the blog to pick up the latest information regarding events.

I stress again I do not want to lose the blog, it is important to me.

Your secretary / racing secretary. 

As we now have a facebook page, I am considering wether or not we need to continiue with the BLOG, any comments ...   more »

Well done indeed to Mike Lightowlers - many of you will know he only started cycling again at the beginning of the year and within the last week he has:
- riden his first long ride (clubrun last Saturday, just over 60 miles)
- ridden his first time trial (the Club 7-mile event)
- easily completed his Cranwell to Scarborough ride of 107 miles!  What an achievement.  We had either no wind at all, or a cross/tail wind, but even so, to complete that sort of ride in a little over 7 hours' riding time is good - we even put in an extra stop at one point because we were so early!  David and I are meeting Mike next Saturday at the Humber Bridge to ride back with him (yes, he's completing the full round trip); if anyone wants to join us give us a ring or email

Hi folks, I have received 9 entries so far for the championship 30, if any more of you are going to enter please get your entries in to me by next thursday 25th. I will be wanting your Sleaford Skegness entries by the following week the 1st September, or the championship 30 at the latest.

Entries for the LRRA 30 must be sent off ASAP or you might not get into the event. Thanks, Ann

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that there is a cycle show at the NEC Birmingham from 30Th September to the 2ND October 2011.

The cost if you book in advance is £12.50 ( £ 1.00 booking fee per transaction ) or £15.50 on the day. I know your going to ask where is the web address( as there isn't one on the article i have just been reading) well i can only assume that if you put cycle show NEC in the search engine it will find it.

Also I am doing a charity ride to Scarborough on Saturday 20Th August and Kathy has volunteered to join me on the way up! I'm doing it for Cancer Research and plan to stay for the week then cycle back on my own. If you would like to sponsor me then you can find out all about the ride at www.justgiving.com/mikelightowlerscycling thanks for your support and see you all soon

Mike Lightowlers
