TT Review of 2017 and Plans for 2018
Last Year
We had 1 Open, 1 PTTL, 9 Evening(Originally 10 but 1 cancelled), and 1 Hill Climb
The Average field size was 40 of which 24 were FWCC members which were up on 2016. Overall 60 FWCC riders took part in at least 1 event during the season, 8 of which were Female.
The results of the club competitions were as follows: Vets on Std – Alan Emmott, Road Bike – Darren Anderson. Road Bike Female – Eileen Duff.
During the season many club members achieved the club TT standards (http://www.fareham-wheelers.org/club-tt-standards). There were 12 Bronze, 5 Silver and 8 Gold standard awards. Also, 6 Club records were broken.
But most of all a big thanks to all helpers without whom we have no events.
There was always free tea, coffee and biscuits available at HQ and sometimes cake! The HQ took on the appearance of a club evening with great cycle chat.

As previous years the HQ for most events will be at WCC
In order to run these events, we need a team of timekeepers and helpers. Each event normally requires 2-3 Timekeepers, 1 sign-on and results person, 1 scrutineer/Marshall, 1 number caller, and 1 additional marshal.
Also for 2018, we are running 3 additional events ie additional Open on the A3, South Dist GHS championship and SDC Hill Climb championship. For these, we will need additional help.
If you can help please get in touch with me stating what you can do and the dates you are available.
