The pedal club entertained the eminent cycling journalist Chris Sidwells at its June lunch meeting (Wednesday 12th).

Chris Sidwells speaking, to his right (i.e. first and second from the left) are Maurice and Germain).

Chris, in his turn, entertained the club with his lively account of his new book ‘Cycling Legends 01 Tom Simpson’. Chris Sidwells is particularly well qualified to write on this subject since he is Tom’s nephew. The book represents the fruition of fourteen years work collecting material, including many interviews with the star’s contemporaries. Although there are other Simpson books, this is an unmissable addition to the genre.

During the meeting the club president, Peter King took part in a question and answer session which enabled members to express their views on present British Cycling policy. As a board member Mr. King is in a position to relay these opinions to British Cycling management.

Members were pleased to welcome as a guest Germain Burton, son of former six day star Maurice. It is to be hoped that this visit marks his return to a more active role in the cycling scene.
