BMX track opening – Bob Mason Sports Ground, Wickersley 28:10:16

Wickersley Parish Council recently upgraded the BMX cycle track on the Bob Mason Recreation Ground, Sorby Way, Wickersley which will be officially opened between 12:00 and 16:00 Friday 28 October 2016.  We were recently approached by the Clerk to Wickersley Parish Council who has asked if RWCC members would be interested in using the event to promote our club and cycling as a sport.  WPC will provide a gazebo in case of inclement weather.  All we are asked to do is to a exhibit a few of our bikes and chat to visitors.

I have already agreed to help and am looking for a couple of volunteers who are willing to come along and assist.  If you wish to assist, please give me a ring on 07751 518488.

Rotherham Town Centre Cycle Event

Many thanks to all who helped with or took part in the Rotherham Town Centre Cycle Event. Undoubtedly there were some things which could be improved for next time, but early feedback from competitors and council officials has been very positive. There is no doubt that people enjoyed themselves and we succeeded in our aim of raising the profile of cycling and the reputation of Rotherham Wheelers.

We intend to debrief the event with our partners in the near future and would welcome feedback from competitors and officials. If you wish to provide feedback (positive or critical), please forward to me by email at your convenience.

Once again, many thanks to all of you.

Best Wishes
Dave Buxton
