Club Membership
Your
annual club membership is now due and forms are with this newsletter
– please complete them and return them, with the fee either
directly to the membership secretary or see them at the club
meetings. Please note the section on rider profiles which, if you
tick the permission box, will be used on the club website.
British
Cycling Membership and Licence.
This
is the complicated bit – you must remember that there are two
different parts to this. Your BC “membership”, which is on the
white side of your BC card, runs for 12 months from when it was
issued but your BC “Race Licence”, which is actually an
internationally recognised licence, is the coloured side of the card
and runs from January 1st to the end of December. So if
you have not applied for a licence for 2007 you do not have one now
although your membership may still be valid! The colour of the
licence changes each year (2006 was green) and this colour change is
across the cycling world as dictated by the UCI.

Presentation afternoon - Sunday November 12th
The
club presentation took place at the Bassingbourn Ski Centre and
after a session of sliding down hill on a variety of sledges the
members congregated for the main business of the day, which was the
trophy presentation. The first awards were for the Summer series the
6 and Under trophies going to Ted Dalleywater in 3rd,
Jasia Blanche in 2nd and Daniel Blanche taking 1st.
In the 7-9 year class Anthony Perrot took 5th, Zach
Foreman 4th, Bradan Blanche in 3rd, Aaron
Dalleywater finished in 2nd and Ethan Lewis took the 1st
place trophy. The 10-14 class saw Ben Gutteridge in 6th,
Aston Blanche in 5th, Louis Burton taking 4th
with James Handleigh in 3rd and the top two places going
to Wayne Gutteridge in 2nd and Anthony Taylor in the top
position. The 15+ class saw 2nd place presented to Darren
Foreman and the win was taken by Lee Alexander. The individual
annual awards were made with Rider of the Year going to Jonathan
Roberts in recognition of his win at the British Championships and
his work with the younger riders whilst the Member of the Year went
to Ethan Lewis in recognition of his regular attendance at all
events and his positive attitude to racing. The last two awards are
in commemoration of club members who are no longer with us. The
Shane Keeler award for the rider who enjoyed their racing whatever
the result went to Aaron Dalleywater whilst the Rob Indri award for
the most improved rider went to Wayne Gutteridge.
