2018 Prize Presentation and Club Dinner

by

The Jubilee held their annual prize presentation at the Stocks Inn, Furzehill on Saturday 10th November. Honoring the Trophy winners and paying tribute to the unsung “backroom” members who work hard for the club.

Formed in 1935, the Jubilee year of King George V, it was the 83rd celebration for the Wheelers.

John Samways, Louisa Cooper, Andrew Cooper, Will Soloman, Phil Scriven, Tom Stocker, Martin Reeder, Nick Jones, Bob Richardson, Paul Brown, Tim Smith, Julian Snook & Clive Peskett were among the award winners.

Long standing member Jacky Prosser was presented with a bouquet of flowers in recognition of her service to the club.

A big pat on the back must go to social secretary Kevin Ridge who, once again organised the very successful event.

Important – Club TT 9th July

by

Because tomorrow’s P304 25M TT was a potential clash with an NFCC event we have decided to join forces and have an ‘interclub’ event with NFCC.

NFCC are hosting / marshalling this event. Sign on at the main car park in Ringwood – from 1800 for a 1900 start.

24th April Club 10M Results

by

11 BJW riders and one guest braved the winds for the Club 10 TT on the P311 Moortown – Sopley course last night. Full results here.

Nick Jones took the 50 points with an impressive 22:58, exactly the same time as on this course last week. So probably an improvement considering the Fresh SW headwind on the way out to Sopley.

Cliff Rowe recorded 25:59 on his gravel bike shod with 42mm knobbly tyres.

All of the C league riders recorded close times, with Chris Simpson second in the overall league standings at this stage of the season – the points system rewards attendance and consistency at all rider levels.

Next week is an 8.5M test on the P429 at Pamphill.
