CLUB DINNER 2019

                      

 Guest speaker Roger Hammond presenting trophies to the usual suspects.

 The annual club dinner was held at Wellow Golf Club. This year’s guest speaker was Roger Hammond ex pro rider and Directeur Sportif of the Madison Genesis team, I think we were very lucky to have Roger as our guest, as I think he doesn’t normally speak at dinners. Roger gave us a very interesting speech on his career and his links with CCC. I would like to thank Claire and Roy for organizing another successful dinner.

  

GEOFF SHERGOLD MEMORIAL CYCLO-CROSS.

It was a dry, but with a chilly wind. Sam Allen (Pedalon) won the men’s event to retain the GSM CC trophy, with Amy Perryman (Hargrove’s Montezumas) taking the ladies title. I would like to thank Kerie for organizing another successful GSM cyclo-cross, I would also like to thank those of you who helped throughout the weekend.

The committee and myself would like to wish Glenn Longland a speedy recovery from his recent tumble, where his bonce took a bit of a bashing.

 And finally, for those of you who don’t know. I had a mishap on my skiing holiday in February, which resulted in a broken Tibia and Fibula. So I will stuck on the settee for a few more weeks, hoping to get back on the bike in May.
