News – 56th Wally Gimber Trophy
The trophy was awarded to the club for presentation at the annual road race by Wally Gimber, a life long club member.

In 1948-9 he was the London centre track, massed start and roller champion and set a national tandem paced half mile record of 48.55 seconds.
He emigrated to the US in the 1960s but returned to the UK in 1985 to present the trophy to John Shand at the club’s 50th anniversary dinner.
