Hi All As part of the clubs 50th year celebrations we are set to run a series of handicap road events for 2020. The prime focus of this series is to offer up an opportunity for as many of you as possible, including those who may be new to the sport and not yet tried a road event, to have a go in a safe environment of smallish sized groups (say max 6 ) consisting of riders of similar ability. We received an excellent response to the survey that Rob Atkinson posted late last year, so plans are being finalised for 4 events starting on Thursday 30th April and 4 weekly after that. All interested members who want to ride and or help are invited to our club room this Monday 17th Feb. We will explain the format and how to enter etc and try to answer any questions or concerns. Meeting to commence prompt after the normal club start time of 7.30pm. If you cannot attend but are expecting to ride or offer help please let me know by E mail or phone. This will help to get an idea of numbers of riders. contact Steve 07870 271694

For several years there has been a recommendation that riders have a rear light when competing in time trials. From 2020 it will be mandatory for all riders competing in open or club time trials to have a working rear light, either flashing or constant, affixed to the rear of their machine. Without a rear light you be unable to start.

Subs for 2020 are now due. For members re-joining before 2nd March the cost is £11. Members over 70 and those under 18 pay £5. For new members the cost is £16. You can pay at a club night (1st and 3rd Monday of the month at Cromwell Rd Fire station) or you can drop it in at 21 Connaught Ave. Grimsby. Alternatively you can pay by bank transfer. Please contact me or Karen Wakefield for bank details. As this is our 50th Anniversary year we are finalising a packed program of events for the year including 3 group rides, 4 road races, 19 time trials and on 4th October there will be a 50th celebration buffet at the Beachcomber.
