To clarify, for the rest of this season:

1. Tenby Aces riders (or other CTT affiliated clubs) can ride the club TTs without having to join the Velos for £3, or join 2nd claim and ride for £2.50.

2. Riders who are not members of Velos or Aces (or any other CTT affiliated club) can ride 1 Timetrial as a 'Come and Try it' after which they need to join a CTT affiliated club (not necessarily Velos) and pay the appropriate fee from then on.

3. Riders under the age of 18 must submit a parental consent before being able to race. Forms here.

New Season : Not long to go now so get your preferred dates for marshalling to us asap (email address at bottom of this page) as only the first 3 marshals for any race will get the credit!

2013 TT Schedule : New schedule for 2013 club events is now available.

Club AGM: This year's AGM will take place on the 17th October at the Foundry House in Pembroke starting at 7.45. All members are encouraged to attend. Anybody who has a proposal or would like to be be considered for the 2013 committee please contact Mike George at mike.pembsvelo@hotmail.co.uk. He can also be contacted through Facebook.

Pembrey Crits: For those who have not seen the Facebook page, the Pembrey Crit series has been cancelled by the race circuit owners. More information is available on either the Pembrokeshire Velo or Towy Riders Facebook pages.

Broad Haven Triathlon: Pembrokeshire Tri Club are promoting the Broad Haven Triathlon on 7th July and are looking for marshals for the bike course.

The event starts at 10:30, so the marshal duties on the bike course would begin at around 10:50, subject to position of course and a prior briefing. So expect a couple of hours for each person.

Weather is guaranteed to be good ;-) so it might be nice for a group to ride out, marshal and ride home. If you're able to help, email Dave Astins (david.astins@btopenworld.com) at the tri club and also me (davidhawkins768@yahoo.co.uk) and I will let you know who else is marshalling so that you can ride across together.

Clothing: The club still has a stock of mainly short sleeve jerseys and socks available. Please email or call for more information.

e-mail - davidhawkins768@yahoo.co.uk
Phone - 07780 697867

For items not in stock, they can be ordered individually from Impsport by going to the website www.yourclubshop.co.uk, clicking on "Your Club Shop" and entering the password PEMBK1243.

Membership: There are a number of people who are yet to rejoin for 2012. Whilst one club time trial can be completed under the "come and try it" rule, for subsequent time trials, you must be a member of a CTT affiliated club and to qualify for the club championships, you must be a member who has completed appropriate marshaling duties AFTER your date of joining.

The 2012 membership form is here and completed forms with cheques should be sent to Bryan asap.

On Sunday the 17^th April the Pembrokeshire Velo Cycling Club will be holding a ‘Come and Try it’ Time Trial to welcome prospective new members to the exciting world of cycle racing. It’s the perfect opportunity for anyone who’s ever wanted to test themselves against the clock, whether you just want to race yourself, or see how you compare to your friends.

The trial will be held over a course of approximately 2 miles (as shown on this map), starting in Waterston, proceeding up Scoveson Road to the Sentry Cross roundabout, before retracing back along the Scoveson Road finishing just prior to the turning to Neyland.

Entry is open to anyone over the age of 12 and competitors can sign up on the day, the first riders will be starting at 10.00am but we would encourage entrants to aim to arrive around half an hour before to sign on, the price for entry is £2 for adults and under-18s can ride free of charge.

Riders MUST wear a safety helmet to take part and can do so on almost any form of bicycle (no TT bikes or pointy hats though!), so long as it is in roadworthy condition. It is also highly recommended that riders have a flashing red light fixed to the rear of their bike to enhance their visibility to other road users. The day will also provide an opportunity to talk to current members, who’ll be able to answer any questions about cycle-sport.

More info in the forum.

Club news and announcements will be made on the homepage of the website (rather than on the forum), with Results, Publications etc. accessible from the links at the top of the homepage. It's going to take a while for all the historical information to be added so in the meantime you can still access the old website from the link on the right.
