Howie,

The start has been changed to the Newark end to avoid the turn at Newark roundabout.

Place names ?

Excellent report Davie.

I have just received this post via E-mail and its content may be relevant to some club members.

Hope that George makes a speedy recovery from his injuries.

SVTTA Boomerang Trophy

Ladies and gentlemen

Unfortunately, I have just been advised that George Stewart the organiser of the SVTTA Boomerang Trophy, scheduled to be held this Sunday (4th May), has been involved in a car accident and is currently detained in hospital.

At this late juncture, the SVTTA feels it has no option other than to cancel the event.

I would be obliged if you could advise your members and any other people who you know may be affected by this decision. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

regards

John Pardo

Chairman SVTTA

I did actually cross the line quite fast (for me).

It was the other 4.8 miles from the Papermill turn that were a bit tough.

If I had known the weather was going to be so destructive of times I would have ridden my old bike. There is always the next 1 whenever that is ......

for me its A66 double header on 3 and 4 May.

Jim Dunlop and I rode from number 11 and immediately before starting had bribed an onlooker to drive his car in a fashion as to slow down George and Vicky.

Might I take the opportunity to compliment him on his excellent sense of timing.

We did a 17.13

Hi Colin,

Will be no problem to wear older kit.

So long as it is remotely close .......

Thanks Kenny,

Just to re-iterate, payment to Steve Joughin for this clothing on Sunday will virtually wipe out the bank balance of the club.

I would ask those individuals who have ordered clothing to come along to the club or contact me here or via PM so that delivery and payment can be arranged.

It should go without saying that in the circumstances, payment is expected on delivery.

Thanks in advance for your help in this

Since it seems that this is likely to be a well attended event I will make sure that the 2008 membership cards are available to be collected.

If you pick up your card can you please sign that it has been collected.

Colin if you can hang around Fuerteventura till 21st January I will bring your card then

Membership cards for those who have paid subscriptions for 2008 will be available at the clubrooms on Sunday.

They will be in the kitchen area.

If you take your card can you please sign as received. A number have been sent by post so if you find your card not amongst those at the club don't worry it may have been posted.

The uncollected cards will be uplifted on Monday night.

For those who have not yet re-joined for 2008 - Show me the money

Thanks

Not that I would like to make public

The club AGM takes place this evening in the clubrooms with a 7.00pm start.

All members welcome.

Given the strong turn out for Sunday runs suggesting a buoyant interest in the club we are expecting a good attendance.

Dance tickets will be available and 2008 membership fees (whatever they might be set at) can be paid so bring along plenty cash

What does this do for the likely mileage.

But count me in anyway.

This coming Tuesday is the Club 2-Up Champs. This is a handicapped event based on your best 10 times (or Georgetown time) so everyone has a chance.

Hope to see a good turnout before Hill Climb training takes over.

24th is ok for me.

Nae chance of the good bike though. Nae luck Dougie da Cervelo

Can you include me too.

I think the 17th suits me better too

Great read Campbell and well done on a tremendous performance.

Here's me worried about getting wet cycling home from Glasgow tonight
