Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, on the subject of ACC history type stuff, Chris Watts is beavering away at writing the definitive club history, and is up to about 1994. Available soon from all good bookshops as they say.

And if anyone fancies a crack at some club records, here are all the current tricycle records held by Sid:

25 miles 1.08.43 (1961)
30 miles 1.24.00 (1948)
50 miles 2.20.50 (1948)
100 miles 5.05.56 (1960)
12 hours 216.38 (1948)

Hi All,

I think these should be aquired for the club, they are part of the club history!

As treasurer I am quite happy to bid for them on behalf of the club.

Phil Nash.

PS. PLEASE NO OTHER BIDDERS FROM THE CLUB!!!!!!

[quote]for other people looking for club history stuff if ever you see someone selling Players Cigarette cards featuring cyclists at craft or antique fairs etc hunt throuh them for the famous Addiscombe Tandem card

[Snoop Doug]

folks - these medals have a bid. Does anyone here have the user ID of bill8330a on ebay..? Looking at their previous purchases they seem to have a general interest in Croydon history.

Arrrr, as previously suggested I WON'T be bidding fer these dubloons, just wanted to keep this in view.......pieces of eight!
