Schlapp Tandem Meet

Me again :-) Just to add that this tandem meet is to take place on a Sunday between 2pm and 5pm. Entries close on the 18.05.08 and so can all the usual suspects please get your entries to me. Last year Schlappers riding were Jon Norfolk, Ant Kappes, Si Churton, Ant Gill, Paul Hunter, Gwyn Carless, Jon Gribben, Paul Johnson, Mark Fleming (and I know MArk wants to do it again), Aileen McGlynn, Ellen Hunter, Tracy Crolla, Chris Higgs and Eve Dunstan. So, that's an impressive start line if we just get the Schlappers up again.

There will again be representation from Paralympic squads who are here for the World Cup and so it promises to be a good meet. There may be teams from New Zealand and Japan and so it should be exciting.

I also have an Elite rider from San Francisco who is here at the time who would love to be a stoker for the event and so if anyone can help there then please let me know. He's 32 and a sprinter/omnium rider and so could be a good bet!

I'm away from my computer for a few days after Friday am but you can always contact me on my mobile if you need any info. etc on 07909 810679.

Let's make it a good one you Schlappers - again! :-)

Tandem Track Meet 11.05.08

Dear All,

Sorry I've been a bit quiet but had a lot of stuff going on! Anyway the Schlapp Tandem track Meet is booked to takeplace on Sunday 11 May 2008. As usual this is to tie in with the Paralympic World Cup so that there will be teams racing from many other countries. The usual Schlappers are requested to get their butts organised to take part as well.

I also need to know who can help out at the event. Last year although I was the named organiser Andrea actually did all the work and so this time I need all the help I can get!!!! So, please volunteer your services now - I've changed email so please now email me nettiebiker@hotmail.co.uk instead.

Even if you can't help then please do come and watch. It is always great racing

The Future ?

Its a long time since anyone posted on here or we've had a club session but the good news is that the club is alive, kicking and healthy, with members old and new showing in the TL results. I'm sure you have been chatting with club mates wondering what's happening etc, especially since Andrea took to the Islands and a few of us have made contact to put together ideas for the way forward.



The initial thought was to hold a club session and ask members for thoughts and ideas, however I'm sure that the trk will be fully booked for all of March and most of April. In order to get things moving please forward your thoughts, ideas, what you want from the club, what you like/dislike about it at present either via the blog or to me via e mail - you can be annonymous but it might be difficult if e mailing!.



Its your club and your input is important, if you want to get more involved speak up, but if you don't say anything we will have to do what we think is best. We may not be able to grant every wish but we can try and cater for the majority.



Yasumitsu Schlapp is a successful club with a great bunch of loyal and friendly members whom I'm chuffed to be part of - lets not lose it.
