As we go to press we have three new members
joining our group since December's 'The Veteran'.
The first two have played a strong role in our sport
over many years.
Tim Lawson, of Secret Training CC, is actually a
Director of that company, as he had previously
been in the long established Science in Sport. Both
companies have been based in Lancashire and we
hope to see much more of Tim during the 2020
season.
The second one goes back much further and
amongst his other roles was a Director of
Holdsworth Cycles in that company's hey-day –
John Lewis. John has been a member of various
groups of the VTTA as he lived in several parts of
the country. I first met John at Dishforth Island on
the famous ‘Boro’ course on that wonderful day in
1967 when Beryl – do I need to add ‘Burton’??!! -
North Lancs & Lakes super-vet Dave set the outright 12 hour record. John and I have
Hargreaves with their Guest of Honour, been friends ever since.
Charlotte Boothman Welcome also to Bill Maxwell, a member of Border
City Wheelers, and we hope you enjoy your time
