South Manchester Cycling Club have recommended that I drop you an e-mail to inform you of a charity evening that may be of interest to your members?

We have arranged for London 2012 Team GB Track Cyclists Matt Crampton (World Kieran Champion) and Craig MacLean (World Sprint Champion) to come to Beech Hall School in Macclesfield on Thursday 8th of March at 7.30pm to raise money for a rare form of teenage cancer.

The GB Cycling Team which won 34 medals at the 2008 Beijing Games making it Britain's most successful Olympic and Paralympic sport. With London 2012 on the horizon, Team GB has a once in a lifetime opportunity to inspire mass participation in the sport.

We will explore what it takes to get to the top in British Cycling as we meet Matt and Craig face to face on the run up to London 2012 Olympics. They will give us an insight into their world exploring their gruelling training regimes, extreme diets, state of mind, the highs and lows and above all what motivates them.

Date: Thursday 8th March 2012
Time: Doors and Bar open at 7.30pm
Location: Beech Hall School, Macclesfield, SK10 2EG
There will be a Wattbike competition to find the fastest amateur rider on the night with a Cash Prize

Tickets: £7.00 each

How do I get tickets?

Step 1. Log onto www.charitygiving.co.uk/beechhallschool and place a donation online
stating your name, 3 tickets at £7.00 per head = £21.00 donation

Step 2. Send an email to ailsagordon@beechhallschool.org with your name and address and you will receive the tickets in the next 2 - 3 working days by post.

Please find the attached poster; it would be great to welcome members from Weaver Valley Cycling Club.

Any questions feel free to give me a call on 07780 68 67 67.

Many thanks

Ross Gordon

Rather than sitting listening to people talking about track racing go and do it yourself.

Thursday 8th March is the night of the club track championships at the velodrome so please support this event and not the one mentioned above. It's great fun and consists of one short flying start time trial, one short standing start time trial and a scratch race.

The racing starts at 8PM so get there for 19:40 to sign on.

Thanks

Dave

At the moment a prior commitment is preventing me from being at the club champs, which I am gutted about 🙁

Trying to find a way of making it next week.
