Since Sarge's death, Fred Dale and Mike Ford have proposed a competition
based Trophy to commemorate the passing of two-thirds of what has become
affectionately known as the "Last of the Summer Wine" group. Bob Lane
is handling the sale of Sarge's bikes, and the proceeds from the sale will be
used to fund the new trophy. More details will follow when the format is known.
Club-person of the Year Trophy
The District Council amenities committee, after attending our 75th Dinner
back in December, offered to donate two trophies to the Club, one to each
Section. As we are comfortably supplied with competition-based awards, your
Committee asked Messrs Nichols and Rolfe to formulate a scheme for a Club
Best-all-rounder award. Individuals will be able to score points for everything
they do for, or with, or on behalf of the Club over the course of a year. This
will count towards the winning of this new trophy, so whenever you join a
Club-run or ride a race or attend a meeting, you will be able to add to your
score, a bit like earning Nectar points!
Vaughan Trophy - Seth all the way
Just as Nadine has been making great strides in Open TTs nationally as well
as locally, partner Seth Mayhew has backed her up with coaching and training.
His efforts have paid off with his first Championship win, just reward for the
way he has improved in every distance. He only dropped 3 points all season. Who
should be in second place but Nadine, 5 points behind, with last year's winner,
Adrie hanging on to third place.
With the racing over, it must be
