Thanks to both Daves and especially to Vital.

Now is a difficult time for any company to find cash for anything non critical to their core business.

Vital is a top company putting big money into our sport. Thanks.

Sponsorship for 2009


Following 3 years as our main sponsor, I'm pleased to announce that Vital Services Group has agreed to extend its sponsorship of the club for a further year! "Vital" are delighted to continue to be associated with the club and its goals for 2009.

Thanks to everyone for supplying their achievements to Dave O (and for getting them in the first place!) Dave was able to put together a great bid letter from these and we got the result we were looking for.

Wishing everyone a very successful 2009.

Howdy y'all...

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd say hi after a hectic few months!
Looks like you've all been busy in the meantime! (Congrats Derek n Gilly)
Our main man Mr Kappes cleaned up in Beijing as I'm sure you heard, Gold in the Sprint and Gold in the Kilo for a double Paralympic Medallist - Nice!
I've since taken on a new job as the GB Assistant Sprint Coach working with ex Schlapper Iain Dyer and Jan van Eijden and heading up the Olympic Development Sprint programme.
Looking forward to catching up with you guys on Sat night...
Cheers,
Jon
PS I've got a pile of Dura Ace chainrings (hardly used) from 46-53t if anyone is interested. £15 each.
Also Dura Ace sprockets from 13-16t. £5 each.
AND I've got a used Campagnolo Ghibli disk wheel (it has a couple of repaired small holes in it - but is still a solid fast wheel)if anyone is interested - £300. J

Derek Smith Takes Gold

Last weekend saw one of our most active members competing at the LVRC track championships in Newport. Yet again Derek proves to be the quickest at his age category, adding to an already impressive medal haul that includes gold at World and National level.

Results for the LVRC Champs were:
Fastest Flying 200m
500m TT - Gold
750m Sprint - Gold

Well done Derek, that Majorcan sunshine suits you well.


Joanne Fenwick had also entered but unfortunately could not compete due to injury sustained prior to the event otherwise I am positive we would have been reporting on more gold medals.
