The club has started ordering some nice white and black polos. They're fairly low prices with the club logo included, available in many sizes in Mens and Ladies. Print out the form above and hand it in at the races!

New website!

The Committee has organised the design of this new site. We expect it to be much more useful to all club members and will keep it up-to-date, particularly with specific race information. Wet weather cancellations and special events shall be shown here and can be checked for official word if things don't look too good. Also make sure to check the course maps provided on the site and enjoy your five minutes of fame in the results.

News

The June newsletter focusses on our wonderful volunteers and there is also a great profile on Roger Butorac. Graham Kearney has contributed a great read "York Park Circa 1963" - based on some of the history of cycling in Launceston and there is a name or two in there that we will all recognise. The next section "Hot Wheels" also gets its debut - whose wheels are running hot this month at the Vets. Have a read - its cheap at half the cost!

Read about some of the ideas to be included in the July - December Race Roster, including accumulative points systems, jackpot races and a new concept for social functions. Some new photos of the latest race days.
