Despite what you might hear or read CTT is a democracy and you have the chance to change things.

There are 72 clubs in London South 2/3rds of these must attend to allow the meeting to go ahead on time. Each club can send along two delegates. (more can turn up if you want but only two from each club can vote or put forward to the district committee).

The district Committee is made up of ordinary members. We have 5 meetings a year. If you think that you want to get involved, or want to find out how things are done, or want to try and improve things. Now is your chance!
Each year there is a desperate shortage of people. Turn up as a delegate for your club and say that you want to be nominated. We need ten ordinary members so there is no pressure to take on huge tasks.

There is plenty of parking and there will also be tea and cakes.

See you there.
:-)

Chris Watts

I have just heard today that Chris Watts, our previous District Secretary of 40 years was taken ill on Friday. This seems to be tied to her long term coughing fits. It is the heat that got to her. John says that she is now making good recovery and that she should be out of hospital soon.

We all wish her a speedy recovery.

Dave Stokes - Crawley Wheelers

It is with much sadness that we record the recent passing of Dave Stokes, of the Crawley Wheelers Cycling Club.

Dave was for many, many years a stalwart member of the London South District Committee, and played an active role in all time trial activities. He was a regular and well liked Time Keeper and Course Measurer and officiated at numerous major events, including his consistent appearance as Timekeeper for the Sussex Cyclists' Association 12 hour. He loved the longer distance events especially, and acted both as Timekeeper & Course Controller for the Brighton Mitre's Centenary Year 24 Hour event in 1994 - a task he undertook again five years later for the Mitre's National RTTC Championship 24.

Accompanied by his devoted wife Peggy, his blue & white campervan could be seen at countless events around Sussex, and beyond: from the local Club event to various Open & Association promotions. Dave also was a dynamic supporter of the Luton Arrow events and also the Icknield Road Club 12 hour, where he often officiated. As an Event Promoter Dave was in charge on no less than 22 occasions of his Club's famous Good Friday event - regarded by many as the true "pipe opener" of the season!

There is no doubt Dave's wisdom and formidable experience will be greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to have known him.
