Pleased to report that Christian has now placed the new
order for the Bioracer kit which has a due date of 17 th April – you never know
it might just be available at the AGM – an even greater incentive for you to
come along to Herne Hill for the AGM on 22 nd. Should you attend, you can
hear, express an opinion and vote on our possible donation to the Herne Hill
Velodrome Trust, to enable them to install a resident friendly PA system.
To be able to vote you must be a full member or life member of the club.
The AGM is a significant meeting and one that as many members as
possible should endeavour to attend. It is your main avenue to let the
committee know whether the tasks they are carrying on your behalf, in the
name of the De Laune, is in the right direction. It is also your opportunity
to volunteer to undertake an official post, in order that the wheels run
smoothly and keep up with the ever changing world in general. All views and
opinions are very much appreciated.
Can I remind all members that the first club open time trial will be run
by Tony on 21 st May. This is the Fred Peachey Memorial 25 – the 48 th year
of promotion. Although the open 25 has been promoted for longer than 48
years, it was only in 1969 that the event took on the mantle of the Fred
Peachey Memorial in recognition of the contribution that Fred made to the
club over many years. At the moment we have many volunteers but it would
be brilliant to have lots of riders displaying the chocolate, blue and white of
the club. This event is also designated as the Club Championship 25 and
Novices 25. In club terms a Novice is classified by not having won an award
for gaining a scratch placing in the first three in any Club or Open time trial.
Look forward to seeing you all on 22 nd April at Herne Hill.
