Hi, it's me - guess who? ;-)

Dear lovely Schlappers,

After me last few moaning postings I've now got what should be a great field for the tandem event. At last count approximately 18 tandems including 5 Irish tandems, 1 New Zealand tandem, 2 German tandems, 1 Auzzie and I USA. Then we've the locals!! Jon N/Ant Kappes : Gwyn/Ang Undrell : Ant Gill/Si Churton : Ellen H/Aileen McG : Paul H/Ian Sharpe : Barney Storey/Williams? : Ben Elliot/John Saysell : Pete Boyd/Dave Heald and a possible Legro/Campbell combination! Now you cant possibly want to miss that can you? What a line up!!!

Now all I need is just a few more bodies around for small job type thingies that need doing like holding up the riders, ringing a bell or summat like that. There are still a few of you out there that aren't riding and haven't already volunteered and so now 'You're Track Team Needs You'

So the last few of you out there that have escaped me so far your number is up. Email me ring me but contact me as time is fast running out

Lots of love :-)

CLUB MEETING (11.05.08 after the tandem racing)

Hi All,
There have been various calls for a meeting to dicuss the way forward for the club and when better than after the Tandem meet on 11th May. I know you will all be keen to get home but its unlikely we will get as many Schlappers together at the same time, same place, in the immediate future. Please do your best to attend, it shouldn't take that long, and even if you are not racing, come down and watch a bit of the racing beforehand or give a helping hand (we're still looking for volunteers for the event - get in touch with Jeanette)

see you there.

Yawn! Me again. Is there anybody out there???

Tandem Meet! Entries should've been in last Friday and I am sadly lacking in them. Riders have told me they will enter but the absence of entry forms and money is a problem!!! If there is anyone out there in the ether intending to ride let me have an entry form etc. by this Friday. If I dont get any then the event will have to be cancelled!!!! As most tandemists in the UK are Schlappers that is the last thing I want to do but I cant run an event with 2 entries which is what I have got so far. So use it or lose it baby!!!

Jeanette

And again Schlapp tandem meet 11.05.08!

Me again :-)

Time is ticking away and the tandem meet is fast approaching. Various Schlappers have said they will ride but there may still be tandems without bums on seats so if anyone wants to ride then please let me know and I'll check for you. Graham has 2 tandems and I dont know if they're occupied (sp?) and Mark F has one that he cant be there to ride on the day and so I'm looking for some proactivity from you all!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahhaahhahaah

Last year was a great event with fast times. The programme will be set once the entries are in. I'm also informed that if we do a pursuit this should be out of the gate now!!! So, to give our paralympic riders practice that may be a 'must' for the event. The gates then need at least 2 people to hold them down for the start although an anonymous source did state to me that Jon N needed 2 people to hold it down just for him! ;-)

Any queries you know how to contact me. I haven't been flooded with volunteers offering to help so please do feel free to step up!

Nice blog started here. Pity I can't seem to leave a dodgy remark!
