Great news! We have just taken delivery of the new kit. And very smart it looks too. In order to get this to as many people as quickly as possible, the kit will be available for collection and purchase from The White Horse Pub, on Monday 15th February 2010 between 7.30pm and 8.30pm. We will be based in the downstairs function room at the rear of the pub. If you have items on order, please come along to collect them. Do not forget to bring your cheque book for the balance due. If you haven't ordered kit and want to do so, please come along as our stock of jerseys and shorts will be available for purchase. For those of you who cannot make this Monday, the clothing will be available after Monday (not before) from Clothing Secretary Clive Rayner. Neil Vaughan reports that there has been an excellent response, but there are still 9 places available for this Club trip to Wells on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th February. The cost is only £20 plus your meal on the Saturday night. You can view the Menu here (Word Required). Members are coming from London and Leeds so don’t miss out. Two female Club members have already booked, so, if you are female and were concerned you might be the only one, don't be. Please send your cheque for £20 payable to "Velo Club Norwich" to Neil at 40 Chestnut Hill, Eaton, Norwich, NR4 6NL.
The design, catalogue and order form for the new club kit has been released.

GREAT NEWS!!! THIS YEAR'S VC NORWICH CLUB WEEKEND TO WELLS-NEXT-THE SEA WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY 27th & SUNDAY 28th FEBRUARY 2010.
If you went on the inaugural
Tour of Norfolk last year, or have spoken to anyone who was there, you
will know what a great weekend this is.
We leave on
the Saturday morning from Norwich, spend the day riding to
Wells-next-the-Sea, enjoy the Wells nightlife, (there really is a
nightlife) stay overnight and ride back together Sunday.
Simples!
Neil
Vaughan, who organised last year's successful trip, has once again
booked us exclusive use of the Well Youth Hostel for the
night.
We will have vehicle support, with a van (that Ian Doe has kindly
agreed to drive) in which to put your overnight kit bags.
And
the cost for the weekend? Only £20 per person. This
includes accommodation, breakfast, and a contribution towards vehicle
support. You will need to pay for your meal Saturday night,
which
will be at a local pub.
There are only 25 places available,
so send your cheque for £20 payable to "Velo Club Norwich" to Neil at
40 Chestnut Hill, Eaton, Norwich, NR4 6NL.

Over 50 entered, about 30 started but only a dozen finished...
It rained hard all morning and a pedalo would have been better than a bike for some sections! There were 9 VCN entrants who all started but the puncture pixie cruelly eliminated Gary Funnell, Jim Moss and Graham O'Hara almost as soon as they started. Clive Rayner and David Davies were quickly dropped (though David carried on for another 4 laps for some masochistic reason). Neil Vaughan, Tim Lernton, Graham Brown and Tim Skinner finished with Neil taking second place.
Despite the awful weather it was a success and all the club members and family involved in running it deserves a lot of credit, particularly Phil Hargreaves. Let's hope for better weather next time - it could hardly be worse!

has accepted David Davis offer to join Velo Club Norwich as honorary membership as our 100th member.
As reported by the Evening News 24, Norwich cyclist Emma Pooley has secured Britain's second cycling medal of the Beijing Olympic Games on Wednesday with silver in the women's time trial. After such an historic achievement - it is the first time a Briton has won a medal in the women's event, Emma has accepted an honorary membership as Velo Club Norwich 100th member. In response to David message, Emma said:
"I'm honoured and flattered that you'd like me to become an honorary
member of VC Norwich."
This is great news for our club and for the cycling sport in our region. So keep and eye open during your next bikes rides with the club, you could get to see the shine of an olympic silver medal ridding by your side.
Following on from last years excellent and very well attended evening, VC Norwich members/partners are invited to return to the Belgian Monk for more tasty food and interesting beers and full details can be found in the booking form.
With great value food options available this is sure to again be popular so please send your completed forms and payments to David Davies at the earliest opportunity. Non-members are welcome, but if the seating limit is reached then precedence will be given to current VC Norwich members or anybody with a credit card behind the bar.
