2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted August 14, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 After an absence that we would all rather forget about the Frank Lauder 10m TT is back! The usual route along the Westferry course to establish a new or repeated champion in the club. The weather forecast is favourable; dry with light winds and frequent outbreaks of painful grimacing along the way. As usual we will need the generous services of a timekeeper for this event. I will check the roadworks in the afternoon and post up here. Post up here if you intend to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted August 17, 2021 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 If anyone gets the chance could you check out the route and the roadworks. It was my intention to do it but I am unexpectedly in hospital with my youngest son. I may still get the chance later on today, but I cannot be sure of it.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted August 17, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 OK, there's good news and bad new on the Westferry. The bad news is that there is a lane closure on the section approaching the Langbank roundabout, westbound. The good news is that it's supposed to be clear by 15:30 this afternoon. https://trafficscotland.org/map/index.aspx?type=3 So. lets assume that the event will be going ahead, and I will check it out tonight on my way to the meet. If the cones are still in place then, the event will be cancelled for this year. It's a long way from ideal, but is probably the best we can do in the circumstances.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted August 18, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 £9.00 has been transferred to the club account, with Dom and Dave both owed £2 as I had no change. Huge congratulations to Sam on winning the Frank Lauder 10 mile TT championship. I think he may be the first Jet to do so, but if someone out there knows differently, I am happy to stand corrected. martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted August 18, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Congratulations to Sam on a very good time on the west ferry , However it must be time for change with limited attendance on any of the confined events , the organisers and the committee must look at ways of attracting more entrants , I have suggested running these as low level open events , but this seems to have been binned as a bad idea , but at least it opens the doors for more entries Because we always did it like this doesn’t mean we should do it this way now , things open to change should include Day of the week , course etc , and who can ride . Seems a bit of a shame just doing the same thing and watching participation dwindle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted August 19, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've been pondering that very issue for some months (years), and there are no simple, easy solutions. If there were, it would have been done. However, as always, if you have some positive ideas, the committee will be delighted to consider them.
