I received an email from Bill Allen this week.
Bill was a member of the BJW in the mid 50’s till the late 60’s before emigrating to Canada then later on to New Zealand.
Bill has a number of mentions in the club archive including he was the first winner of the Founders Cup in 1956 which he held on to until 1961 when Pete Brazeley won it.

Bill is still cycling having just returned from competing in the UCI World Age Track Cycling Championships in Manchester where he had two 4th placing’s – one in the 500m TT and the other in the Sprint plus a bronze in the Points.
