Once
again we have missed a few newsletters over the summer months but
since no-one has commented we assume that everyone gets enough
information off the web site. If the lack of newsletters has been a
problem to you please let us know.
The Club Presentation
Afternoon – Sunday November 25th,
Enclosed with this newsletter you will find details of this year’s
escapade, which will be at the Bassingbourn Ski Centre. A session on
their enormous start hill is planned for those who wish to try
sliding down a hill on a tea tray or a plank of wood and the club
will be paying the fees for every club rider – if any Mums or Dads
want to take part a small fee will be levied. The Club Summer Race
Series and other annual awards presentation will take place
afterwards in the Ski Clubs building. The club itself is based on
Bassingbourn Army Barracks, which is an active military site so
access is restricted to those who have given the club the details
outlined on the enclosed sheet. If you are late arriving at the main
gates you might find they will not let you in!
Would last years recipients of
the Rob Indri and Shane Keeler awards please ensure they are
returned to the club secretary before the presentation date.

British Cycling
Membership and Licence.
A reminder once
again! There are two different parts to the card you get from
British Cycling. 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 you will soon have to apply for your 2008
licence!
And Finally; Club
Web Site – www.roystonrockets.co.uk
If you
have anything for the web site please send it direct via the
“contact us” function – pictures, race reports, comments about
racing – what ever you like - after all it’s your club’s site! You
might also wish to have a look at the East Anglia site –
www.bmxeast.com, which has
links to the other clubs in our region.
