ACC Promote Cyclo Cross at Bethlam Hospital on Wed Aug 29

[Mark Leedham]

Jason Cattermole, Shaun Bayliss and others have gained agreement from the Bethlam Hospital facilities management team that LCCA can promote events at the hospital.

George Brent and I went down last week to help Shaun prepare the course. George nabbed the chainsaw, I got the spade. You drive through the hospital gates and out the back and you see acres of woodland and fields, I never realised that this fantastic open space existed so close to London.

Jason has got a facebook page up at the moment just to garner some interest, but will be putting out a flyer soon, once all clubs and sponsors are confirmed http://www.facebook.com/events/357773277621250/.

I have agreed that ACC will promote the first event on Wednesday August 29 - I am guessing an 18:00 start, but will confirm later

If any ACCers want to try Cyclo Cross before the Autumn rain sets in then this is a great opportunity. If you are really keen, you can go down now and try it out.

I am also looking for ACC members to help me run the event - sign on, lap scoring, marshalling. Please contact me if you think you can help.

***Non-PC joke alert***

You don't have to be mad to ride there but it helps.

I'll be coming along to help out with the ACC flags

Hey, guess what. I can probably make it over for this. I looked at public transport for getting there and it takes nearly an hour and a half... so will be coming on bike as it cuts travel time in half. What time is this likely to be finished as I would also like to head back for the Half'n'Half (but not leave my bike around in Croydon - or ride home half cut...)

[Tim Coales]

Sorry, I've not been up to speed on this. I'm free late this afternoon, so will come along (with First Aid kit, Alan) and back to the Half & Half afterwards.

Are you entirely sure about the Senior results; they look remarkably similar to the U12 results. Having previously raced with Ben Tulett's father I am sure Ben Tulett will only have to wait a few years before winning the Senior race.
