From what I've seen, your web site looks great! See you in the not too distant future hopefully. Have a good Christmas and a peaceful New Year. Safe cycling. Cheers.

I received a copy of the March 2000 issue of the Acorn Newsletter yesterday, and I was intrigued by the article that John Watson wrote, about our little jaunt to Skegness in 1951. Would you believe, that I cannot recall anything about that bike ride, I must have been in a shocking state to say the least!! I have not heard from John for years perhaps you could pass this message on to him for me please. I have started bike riding again after a 30 year gap, and I joined the W.V.C.C. 18 months ago.

As a newcomer to the net, I was fascinated to read the story by John Watson entitled "Albert and the Rock." The Albert in question was my late brother Albert Sharp, and John is quite right in every detail. This incident and many more made our lives so much richer through our association with so many good friends.

Has anyone had problems using Dave Hinde for mail order? I ordered a set of Campag Record wheels just after Christmas complete with Record cassette which I asked them to fit. The wheels turned up in around a week with the wrong coloured alloy nipples and tyres (isn't that the purpose of a custom build? they just used whatever else they had). The cassette wasn't fitted and turned out to be wrapped in kitchen towel and was a Daytona (around £50 cheaper). A phone call got a sort of apology and I immediately returned the cassette. Four weeks later and several jackanory stories later I still don't have my cassette. So come on let's diss the crap shops and poor service and perhaps they might sort out their act. I always find Ribble is good and locally Sherwood Pines Cycles is very cheap and friendly. Does anyo

I live in Burton on Trent now, but get across to Notingham fairly often. I may be tempted to try one of your circuit events soon.

Wonderful to see the club bigger and even more successful than in the 60s. It was great to read about you winning the Lighthouse Trophy. We (Dave and Colin Riddell, Rob Bright, Pat and Paul Gutteridge, Ed and Rob Ward + others) would dream of winning it in our day, but since the plan required us to all do PBs (less 2 mins) we never got close. Even after 35 yrs I am still in the habit of checking the Evening Post to see where the club-run (sorry, 'training run') is going each weekend and who won the 10 mile TT. Good to see Ed W. and Pat G. still going strong and looking at the other names, it looks like the sons & daughters of other riders from the 60s are making their mark too. Excellent web site: well done everyone. Good luck in your racing.

0500 Tuesday nightshift. Ward 19/S.A.U. Leiceter Royal Infirmary. Staff nurses are usually bored at about this time of the morning... Sherwood cycling club has evolved with the times yet some things remain just the same...Ed. Not been a 'regular' on 'the parrots' for a while now but it was good to see 34 people riding out into the Vale last saturday morning. The renaisance has began. The most i ever saw was 51, 13 years ago...back in the day. Wilko, Adgar et-al. Ed in the front group on the burn up! Who remembers Doris crashing in the Ford at the back of Oxton island one January day? He got up and rode to the cafe wet through. whatever, saturday morning clubruns continue to make my saturdays, the best days, when i get the day off work! Well done all. Gota go do the morning drugs round. Looki

I only met Orford Spencer on one occasion at the Annual Dinner/Prize Presentation in Nov 2004.Had a brief conversation with him,and thought what a nice guy he was. We can't believe that this has happened. All our condolences to his wife and family, he will be greatly missed by all.

I live in California...we do not have access to any European races. The cycling television coverage her in the US is horrible. Is there any British cycling fan out there that can give us American cycling fans assistance by taping the races from Eurosport for us? Hope to hear from you soon....thanks again!!

After not seeing John or Eunice since about 1953, I was fortunate to meet them at last November's Club Dinner. Whilst John told me that he was ill, I didn't realize the seriousness of his situation.I wish with all my heart that I'd known what I know now,but it's too late. I can't say how sad I am, after thinking of some of the lovely times that we had with both John & Eunice,on club runs,social events and racing occasions. My heart goes out to dear Eunice and Craig over their tragic loss. Jack Sharp.

Me and my friend are both 14 and have both aqquired starter racing bikes. We are both looking for a club to join and he found your site but did not see anything about a youth club. If you do run a youth club I would be very pleased to know about it. Thanks Ben

Well done to Nigel and the team for retaining the Lighthouse Trophy. You have got a great team. I wish we could give you a bit more competition but at the moment we can't. We will continue to plug away. We will have to get a social night together this winter. I reckon we could give you a run for your money at darts.

A new website has been launched with the aim of helping people in sports and leisure activities find their lost property; the website is www.lostkit.co.uk. Report any property you've lost at any event, race or meeting across the UK and we'll try to track it down, or if you've found something, report it and we'll hopefully find the owner. Please inform your club members and advertise and use the service - it's free!! http://www.lostkit.co.uk many thanks Rick
