Club Delegates from Clubs in the N.C.U. Northampton Centre. Enlargement was to follow later. He foresaw the strength that would accrue from several clubs working in an alliance to promote the furtherance of the sport. By providing more semi-open events and running some longer distance events the Association provided an outlet for up and coming riders. It seems strange today, but at that time it was becoming increasingly difficult for the long markers to get accepted into the classic open events. Along with other Clubs, activities were frozen during the War Period, but due to the initial enthusiasm of the Clubs and Officials, the Association was revived after the War and events began to gain momentum, to provide the Association that we know today. The Association has provided competition for the various categories, Men, Women, Junior, Juvenile and Veterans, with each category being instigated at an appropriate time in the Association's history as support demanded. Trophies for these competitions have been kindly donated by generous beneficiaries. The events and competitions began to suffer from a lack of support during the late 90's, but following the instigation of a points based competition in 2001 and the use of quieter circuits for events, there has been renewed enthusiasm for our events and competitions, which we hope will continue. Over the years, a number of riders from Association Clubs have progressed to National Honours and we always follow their progress with pride. Hopefully the Association will continue for many more years, with the support of the

clubs and the willing band of officials that we have been blessed with over the years. For this The Association has been very fortunate. -------------------------------------------------

BRRT Reports Road Racing. The Race Team are looking ahead to the 2020 season, when it is hoped to repeat the success of the Club Road Race. -------------------------------------------------

The Christmas Rides The ride took place on 22nd, it being the Sunday nearest to Christmas Day. Our President, intending to have a sedate ride to the coffee stop, happened to be passing the clubroom just as the riders on the short run were getting ready. They insisted that he join them, with their Santa hats and bikes bestrewn with twinkling lights. The festive band of Mim, Callum, Jo, Kim, Carmen, Yvonne and the Pres. proceeded via Hillfoot (at the top of which they had a well earned rest whilst they waited for the Pres.) They then did a pothole survey along Bunny Lane before going through Old Warden, Ickwell and Northill to the farm shop at Thorncote Green, where soup, cake, tea and coffee were consumed. Just as they were about to leave a mud bespattered group, Ian, Jackie, two Alans, Rupert, Ricky and Charlotte arrived - the long ride. Where they had been is another story. -------------------------------------------------

Christmas meal. Friday 20th Thank you to everyone who came to the Christmas meal last night and made it such a fun night. Congratulations to the award winners Duncan Doswell, Julian Fargher, Steve Smith, Sebastion The Pony and Kim.

Club Delegates from Clubs in the N.C.U. Northampton Centre. Enlargement was to follow later. He foresaw the strength that would accrue from several clubs working in an alliance to promote the furtherance of the sport. By providing more semi-open events and running some longer distance events the Association provided an outlet for up and coming riders. It seems strange today, but at that time it was becoming increasingly difficult for the long markers to get accepted into the classic open events. Along with other Clubs, activities were frozen during the War Period, but due to the initial enthusiasm of the Clubs and Officials, the Association was revived after the War and events began to gain momentum, to provide the Association that we know today. The Association has provided competition for the various categories, Men, Women, Junior, Juvenile and Veterans, with each category being instigated at an appropriate time in the Association's history as support demanded. Trophies for these competitions have been kindly donated by generous beneficiaries. The events and competitions began to suffer from a lack of support during the late 90's, but following the instigation of a points based competition in 2001 and the use of quieter circuits for events, there has been renewed enthusiasm for our events and competitions, which we hope will continue. Over the years, a number of riders from Association Clubs have progressed to National Honours and we always follow their progress with pride. Hopefully the Association will continue for many more years, with the support of the

clubs and the willing band of officials that we have been blessed with over the years. For this The Association has been very fortunate. -------------------------------------------------

BRRT Reports Road Racing. The Race Team are looking ahead to the 2020 season, when it is hoped to repeat the success of the Club Road Race. -------------------------------------------------

The Christmas Rides The ride took place on 22nd, it being the Sunday nearest to Christmas Day. Our President, intending to have a sedate ride to the coffee stop, happened to be passing the clubroom just as the riders on the short run were getting ready. They insisted that he join them, with their Santa hats and bikes bestrewn with twinkling lights. The festive band of Mim, Callum, Jo, Kim, Carmen, Yvonne and the Pres. proceeded via Hillfoot (at the top of which they had a well earned rest whilst they waited for the Pres.) They then did a pothole survey along Bunny Lane before going through Old Warden, Ickwell and Northill to the farm shop at Thorncote Green, where soup, cake, tea and coffee were consumed. Just as they were about to leave a mud bespattered group, Ian, Jackie, two Alans, Rupert, Ricky and Charlotte arrived - the long ride. Where they had been is another story. -------------------------------------------------

Christmas meal. Friday 20th Thank you to everyone who came to the Christmas meal last night and made it such a fun night. Congratulations to the award winners Duncan Doswell, Julian Fargher, Steve Smith, Sebastion The Pony and Kim.
