Dear All,
Unfortunately as you are all aware the annual awards evening that was planned to take place at the end of February had to be cancelled, and for notable reasons we are unlikely to be able to get together to celebrate all of our award winners.
In a first for Chelmer, the annual presentation awards are being done electronically! Whilst I appreciate this is not an ideal scenario, myself and the committee wanted to ensure those winners were recognised for their achieve...ments.
It was a truly exceptional year for Chelmer CC in 2019. We saw double-digit youth numbers week in, week out for youth training and cycle-cross. On the time trial scene, incredible performances by many riders saw individual and team records smashed. On the cycle-cross scene we saw high participation numbers and podium's. On the road race and track scene, many riders smashing their point tallies and 4 riders moving up race category bands.
The committee also recognise and thank, those life-long members for their affiliation with the Chelmer and want to send a special message to David Powell - 70 years a member! and Antony Stapleton who stepped down as club Chairman, clothing secretary and Club Captain after significant dedication for many many years.
Please find attached a short presentation (images) of the award winners.
Finally, I hope every Chelmer member and their families continued health during these difficult times and hope to see you all during the summer.
Rgds, Nick Chairman

C Group rides cancelled until further notice, we will be back😷😀

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ***
At these difficult times, both you and your family's health is of the utmost importance.
Please ensure you are following the advice that has been given by the government. This is already affecting many of our long standing club members to whom I wish all the very best.
... We will continue to operate club activities, however, these will be cancelled at short notice should the situation with the virus accelerate even more.
Up coming events at the Chelmer are as follows:
1. Weds 18th - youth turbo evening 2. Sun 22nd - 100 in 8 and Audax 3. Weds 25th - Youth turbo evening followed by the annual presentations evening.
For the Youth turbo evenings, Russell (Tribley) will decide as to whether these go ahead, so please watch out for communications.
For the Chelmer 100 in 8 and the Audax, Chris Regan will decide as to whether these go ahead. If they do go ahead, numbers in the HQ and the half way refreshment place at Westerly Waterless should be limited and where possible be outside as much as possible. Please bring own pens and keep hands clean at all times.
For the Presentation Evening, I (Nick Boyle) will make a decision nearer the time. This will depend on what happens with the local schools and other social places and establishments.
