Finally a Committee Meeting - 21st Nov
As the Committee know, I have had a very busy year and spent the last few months putting off the next committee meeting.
So the next meeting is to be at Jake's on Friday 21st November 2008.
Jake says she will be doing a hot meal - continuing the trend, as so many of us miss dinner on meeting nights.
If anyone has anything for the agenda, can they let me have the outline in advance - including any other business - as after such a long gap there could be quite a lot to talk about.
Also I'd like a reminder of some of the decisions made during the year at impromptu meetings, so that I can minute them. Off hand I can think of:
Jake to run Open 10 in 2009 (date confirmed as Sat 25th April)
Joe to run Open 15 in 2009 (date confirmed as Sat 27th June)
Frank to apply for extra - weekly - evening 10s in the height of the summer.
(Excellent, more events! - groan, the stress of getting there every week and the ****** motorway closures on the way home!)
Photo selection printed and framed and send to Peggy Jones on here 90th Birthday. (Also she is already invited to the 75th Anniversary celebrations in 2011!)
Agenda for 21st November
Matters arising
(there must be some minutes around here somewhere - anyone remember when we last had a committee meeting?)
Gen Sec's Report
AGM advised for December 11th and to include American Supper after - seeing as that is the night that most members turn up.
National AGM agenda (I'll put up a seperate post, shortly)
Consideration of advertising on website - I have had a couple of offers, offering commission.
Are all committee members willing to stand for 2009 (is anyone else dying to get on the committee?)
Cis George's sad death to be minuted. Funeral attended by 4 members.
Affiliations for 2009 have been paid for CTT and SCCU
Membership
46 paid up members in 2008, plus our three life members (now 2).
Around 15 paid up for 2009 (due as of November 1st - bring cash or cheque book to AGM)
Time Trials Sec
Lots of events to list - will try to get it all typed in here before the meeting.
RR Sec
Simon - apart from the promotion of the Women's Divisionals, anything else to report?
Has anyone got the time (and the skills) to knock up some pages publicising the Women's Divisionals for Simon - I keep not finding the time)
Treasurer
I know we are solvent!
AOB
Any other business?

2008 AGM
I still need to do the official notification, but here's the initial notification of date for the AGM.
This year it will be a week later than usual, on December 11th 2008 and in the hope of the usual dash through business in half an hour, and to reward you all for your attendance we will this year combine it with the American supper (all bring along something to eat - some degree of co-ordination might be an idea), to be held afterward.

Cis George
It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Cis George on Tuesday 14th October 2008 at her home in Powys.
Lisa
After the founder members who formed the club, Cis is the primary reason that the Kingston Phoenix has lasted to 2008. She was unofficial club secretary during the war years when all of the young men were called away, in turn, to fight, and provided a focal point for them all to remain in contact with the club and each other while they were away. This was followed by a five year stint as the official Club Secretary at the end of the forties and into the fifties.
Cis was very active in club life, setting most of the club Ladies records and breaking many of her own records several times. She married Bert George (originally of the TudorCC, then a Phoenix member) and the pair continued to be active in club life for many years, until their move to Wales. Cis continued to take an active interest in the Phoenix until the end, being sad not to be with us for the 70th Anniversary celebrations.

The winner of the Margery and Bill Griffiths Trophy John Woodburn (RHS) and pacer C Day
One more photo of GB Bronze rowing medal winner Elisa Laverick.
And finaly the latest of Millie from the House of Morley and Atkins(OZ)
More Redmon 2-up
Fastest on the day Richard Prebble and Ben Instone 33min 11 secs.
Our friendly and ever hardworking time keeper Frank and that Mexican Bandit again.
Winner of the Gentlemans on standard was Number 30 (who came steaming by Jackie and I approaching Rusper) with a time of +10min 2sec, John Woodburn and pacer C. Day.
To draw a comparison between he Grant and I, he is 71yrs (must be another Ray Dare type) and his actual time was 39min 03sec. compared to Grants 50min 07sec (72yrs) and mine of 48m 02s (66yrs). My time was minus 51sec on standard and Grant minus 38sec on standard. Well done Grant you beat me with the help of Steve Hillier. Sorry to let you down Jackie, thanks for waiting on those hills I enjoyed the experience it was a great day!

Le Mans 24 Bikes!
Lisa
As working the blog is beyond me could you sound out whether there might be interest in the Phoenix in this first event which will happen on the weekend of 22nd August 2009. It's on the 4k motorbike circuit, so closed roads, for teams of 8 or 6 or 4 or 2 or even solo.
My son did the in-line skate version this year and said it was great fun.
I predict that this will in very few years become a huge world event so it might be no bad thing to get in early!
Entries open on 1st November.
John.
Mmm, Sounds intriguing - anyone interested?
And can anyone find a website with more information?

Frank Cubis
Thanks to Frank Powney and Ray Dare for fulfilling the club's marshalling commitment.
Fortunately the overnight rain cleared, and although the roads were rather wet, the riders didn't have worse than a light drizzle to contend with. On the other hand, I thought the wind was pretty tough!
Bob looks to be the winner of the Consolation Trophy for 2008, after a fine first 25. (Subject to anyone doing anything to change the prospective winners of other trophies)
Steve did an excellent ride to record 1:12:52 - a "current" pb (having gone faster in a past life, as happens when you get lured back into Time Trialling).
Antonio also completed his first 25 in a creditable 1:24:23 - it's a lot longer than a 10!
I think it's safe to say that the rest of us finished, and no one went as fast as they would have liked. Except for Stuart and Ben, who presumably decided that staying in bed was a better use of a damp Sunday morning - either of you like to respond?

Reminder to all - The Consolation Trophy...
... is awarded, based on sealed handicap, to the rider who records the fastest handicap time and who has not won another Club Trophy during the season.
So some of the riders are already counted out of the race for the Consolation trophy.
Provisional trophy winners:
Jake - Club Championship/Ladies Championship
Grant - Men's Championship
John - Vet's Trophy
Ben - 50 Trophy
By rights Stuart should improve on Jackie's 1:2:22 to take the Pentney Trophy and disqualify himself, and if Steve can improve to a shortish "14", he should have a good chance of taking the Crouch Tankard for improvement at 25 miles.
So hopefully that leaves Bob, Mark, Antonio and myself to fight it out for the Consolation Trophy. (You can see why this is supposed to be the last event of the season!).

Wigmore Hill Climb
It is coming up to that time of year when riders thoughts turn to the Hill Climbing Season. Well some do. They are great social occasions and generate a wonderful atmosphere that other TT's often do not. Also a time to meet an chat with those that you may not have seen for a while.
The Wigmore CC are promoting for the 33rd year, their Classic Hill Climb on October 5th. Fancy giving it go? Again a tremendous prize list is on offer and well spread too. You do not have to be a specialist hill climber to enjoy such an event.
Not convinced? Come on, give it a go and you may be wanting to come back for more. The Wigmore event apart from incorporating the Kent CA Championship is also the event chosen by 10 clubs who use it for their domestic hill climb championship.
I attach a Prospectus (below). Entries should be received by me by Tuesday September 25th. Though may hold open for a few more days.
I look forward to receiving your entry. I will not object if you wish to let others know about this very popular Kent Hill Climb.
Yours in Sport,
Doug Laidlow

Update from John Beer - Aug 31
Lisa,
I should be careful what I wish for.
I certainly got my calm day, but fog, thunderstorms and pretty cold to boot as well.
The race was an hour late starting because of fog, no sooner had that partly lifted then a thunderstorm rolled in from nowhere (fog and a thunderstorm!) It was too late to stop the race by then but in truth there was very little traffic. The roads were awash in places, it didn't rain all the time but when it did it certainly did.
It was one of those days when you have to try to keep focused, the times were all over the place, some very good ones but others who wished they hadn't bothered, a few punctures as well.
I did a 1:04:32 which I have to be happy with. Still a bit to come off of that though, I did a 10 on the same course on Thursday in 24:51 in perfect conditions (won with a 20.17).
I dread to think what the hilly 12 was like. I'm not interested in going down hill (quick) any more and absolutly not in rain like that!
SCCU 25 next week and the Bicester Millenium 25 the week after.

Hilly 12 - result (sort of).
Well the forecasters got that one wrong! On the TV - just before we left - the weather forecast was for thunderstorms AFTER lunch. So, at about 8:15, as we rode up toward Headley there was the ominous rumble of thunder and soon plenty of lightning to go with it and very shortly after the big, fat raindrops followed.
As we all huddled in the cars or under the notice board (above) the unanimous decision was not to bother. Frank will try to re-schedule the event for October 5th, if it doesn't clash with anything that matters - hopefully the weather will not have turned too chilly by then. We start running into the other end-of-season events after that.

Redmon 10 - 30 Aug
Update from John Beer - Aug 24
Lisa
Thought I was up for my 4th cancellation of the year today. However the event did go, on a last minute decision, the late starters will have had pretty nasty conditions. I was off at 6:14 (it was just about light). Head wind on the way out, 10-12 mph, I thought I was going well but in the end I had to settle for a 1-05-23.
Can't quite work out where I lost it albeit that I was hopelessly undergeared on the way back.
Well I turned up and in the circumstances can't really grumble at a come back PB.
Cammish and Hutchinson didn't start.
Alton next week, surely I'm due a half reasonable day for a 25!!

Ibbo's Tea Party/Ibbo's Cake Quest
John Ibbotson or 'Ibbo' as he was more affectionately known was a unique and very special person. Someone who combined his passion for racing at the highest level with a sense of fun which he passed on to anyone he came into contact with.
He raced professionally in Europe, mixing it with some of his childhood heroes, and achieved much in his short but action packed life. After having 'just one more season' in the UK John finally retired from racing in 2003 to spend more time with his family and start Fit-For, a thriving coaching service. From the outset his list of clients started to grow at an amazing rate as he somehow managed to combine the serious side of training to reach one's goals with a sense of fun, an infectious enthusiasm touched all under his wing. His success as a coach was inevitable as he never underestimated the importance of enjoying riding a bike, of finding a good cafe and perhaps most importantly, great cake!
Sadly John passed away on 27th September 2005 and left a hole too large to fill. The coaching side of Fit-For ceased but a number of his friends and clients decided to keep the name going and run a club in his memory....
Ibbo's Tea Party
As a warm up event to get everyone in the mood we are organising a fundraising tea party on September 6th, 2008. This will take place in the field behind the Fox and Hounds pub in Walton-on-the-Hill, KT20 7RU from 2.00pm - 5.00pm. Entry costs £5 per head or free for under 14's (pay on the gate), to include tea, cake, cream & jam scones.
Everyone is welcome - bring your family and friends.
This year's attractions are - Raffle, bottle tombola, flying monkey competition, face painting, max speed output on a stationary bike, space hopper race, cycling quiz, stocks, Pimms stall and much more! John would have loved it!
For more information go to www.johnibbotsonfund.com
Ibbo's Cake Quest

Club Ladies 12hr Record
Congratulations to Chrystal on achieving a total of 222 miles Provisional to set a new Ladies Club 12hr record on Sunday.
Pete
Pete
Very provisional result from the event:
Ann DNF
Chrystal 222
Jake 208
Grant 188
Lisa 167
It looks like Chrystal has taken the club handicap award - and deservedly so with that ride with me 2nd, Jake 3rd and Grant 4th.
Full result to appear once we have the confirmed result - so many of the results were a lap out, that it would be folly to attemp to sort anything else out just yet.
However: Chrystal has gone about 5m further than Jake last year, Jake about 10m more than Ann last year and I improved about 10m on last year, so we have improved the Ladies Team Record by around 25m this year.
Ann started with a lousy cold & in the rain, but I understand that she didn't get very far before calling it a day.

Update from John Beer - Aug 10
Another DNS for me couldn't face all that rain and a 18 mph headwind. I would have been very hard pushed to do the time I wanted.
Good news is I'm not riding next weekend so it should be good for your 12.
Off to Belgium with Carolyn on the bikes for a week from Monday (weather forecast not great) however I'm sure we'll be fine.
I've entered the Redbridge and Alton 25's and will enter the SCCU 25 when I get back. The plan, such as it is, is to end my season with the North Hants 25, if I haven't done an acceptable 25 time before then.
Best of luck for everyone in the 12, I'll be thinking of you all.
John.

Peggy Jones - 90th Birthday
Hi,
I am delighted to inform you that the Kingston Phoenix Road Club's last surviving founder member, Peggy Jones, will be celebrating her 90th birthday on the 17th September. The family are having a birthday party for her on Sunday 21st September.
As the Kingston Phoenix has played a very significant part of Mum's life, it would be really great if the club could acknowledge this milestone day in her life in some way. Possibly a framed club photograph, a card signed by members, a framed badge or something of that kind. I know she would be thrilled with anything from the Phoenix.
The party is being held in a village hall close to where she lives in the Southampton area. If anybody were cycling along the A27 at Chilworth around 3pm on the 21st they would be more than welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and a piece of cake!
You will be pleased to know that Peggy is very well and still rides her exercise bike regularly in her conservatory, pretending she is off on a club run.
I would be very pleased to hear from you if you will be able to obliged me as above.
Many thanks and best regards,
Ken Jones
Good news that Peggy is well and looking forward to her 90th Birthday. Anyone got any specific ideas and/or prepared to volunteer. We'd like to do something, but off hand I am not sure exactly what.

Cycle training - volunteers please!
I'm probably talking to the wrong people here but I'm looking for nervous and inexperienced cyclists of all ages to help me out! I have just become provisionally accredited as a National Standards cycling instructor, and I'd really value some practice before I start accepting paid work.
Frankly, I have to say the training was a real eye-opener and I've always considered myself a confident cyclist, so even if you have no worries about your skills on the road, I'd be delighted to share some tips with you ...
So if you have a neighbour thinking about commuting but too worried by traffic, know someone who doesn't know how to ride a bike, or needs some help with route-planning, etc, please put them in touch with me - you'd be doing me (and hopefully them) a big favour.
Thanks a lot

Committee matters
As the committee know, I have been over-extended this year both with the running of the SCCU 50 and also with more and more pressure at work, thus we haven't had many committee meetings this summer, and I don't have the time for one in the next few weeks.
Fortunately with Frank doing most of the work (ie running the Club Events) there is little that actually needs doing during the year, unless specifics come up to be discussed.
As it happens we have a couple of things to discuss at the moment and my plan for a short committee meeting after the 100 rather went out the window by the time I had finished.
Adding the comments into the main post:
As these things are time critical I'll put the the items to everyone:
First, those of you on Frank's email list may already have read his thoughts on the Consolation 25.
I think that the primary proposition is that we make the SCCU 25 the Club Consolation 25 and abandon the alternative that the District rearranged for us. Although we could still have a 10 on the original date of the Consolation on the G10/42. What do you all think - comment here or email Frank. But he does need a decision before 10 August otherwise we will have no event on the original date of the Consolation 25 (because the police form needs to be submitted in good time).
Brian: "For what it's worth, I say use the SCCU 25 as suggested."
Jake: "I think we should use SCCU 25 as Consolation but need 2 marshalls for it still.
I dont think many would turn up for a sunday 10 in place of Consolation."
Lisa: "There is a 25 at 8am on the H25/8 (Farnham/Alton course) that I can see being attractive to a number of our riders, rather than a 10 that morning - and even possibly over a 25 on either of the G courses."
Steve: "It would be nice if all of our club riders could be set off together (and no I don’t mean as a mass start!) say in a 30 minute period, so that we can meet up afterwards within a reasonable time span. Could this be arranged/encouraged or is this against SCCU/CTT regulations?"
Lisa: "Starting together might be arranged if we are all nice to the organiser"
2. Andy has said that he will not be running the 15 next year.
So we need a volunteer promoter if we are to continue running this event.
Anyone want to volunteer before I start asking people directly ?
Jackie has said that she will not be running the Open 10 next year either, but Jake has said that she will run it and Pete has said he will help with the paperwork (having watched fairly closely as I organised the 50!) Names of Open event organisers need to be submitted soon with the event applications.
Jake: "I am standing down as organiser of club dinner as I am taking over club 10 , so we will need someone to take over this winter!"
Lisa "bugger!"
3. Frank is proposing to have club evening 10s every week during June/July with every other week on a Tuesday if possible (the Addiscombe have first dibs on a Tuesday, for their events - but they are only alternate weeks.) Is this worth his effort?
Jake: "I would like a 10 every week, but would this thin out Phoenix numbers at each race?"
Lisa: "Personally I would have loved to have had 10s every week, some years ago: now I find that it is traumatic getting to the events from work. On the other hand, those of us that do have difficulty getting to Holmwood in time, would have more opportunities to ride, so it must be good thing"

St Barts Church

Len Steel
I am sad to report that Len Steel passed away at tea-time on Friday 18th July 2008.
Len raced with the Phoenix in the late 40's and early 50's before family life called him away from the racing scene, although he remained a life-long cyclist.
Len was never one of the club's superstars, but his name does feature in the club records, having led and backed up the 50 mile team records on no less than four occasions. He very briefly held the club 30 mile record - lost to another finisher in the same event - and featured in other team records. However he remains a current Club Record holder: the men's 24hr team!

A cold and overcast start turned into a warm, sunny morning but with the wind in the North East again/still making it quite hard going on the descent of Tollgate Hill and again in the long run in to the finish, the morning can only be described as "treacley"! Many folks around the result board were a couple of minutes down on what they would have expected. Steve achieved his target of over-hauling Jackie in the competition for the George Crouch Tankard, but Chrystal rather scuppered his plans by doing an even bigger improvement.

Eve 10#6 - apology
Sorry folks, to anyone who did go out to Holmwood on Wednesday night.
With all of the fuss around "elf & safety" we can no longer afford to start an event in the sort of rain that was coming down for almost the whole day on Wednesday - at least in the various places I was! - in case someone gets flattened by a car driver who can't see through his wind-screen and/or considers "spray" to be an adequate excuse for not seeing a poor bedraggled rider in front of him.
It's sad really, because there can be quite fast conditions when it is wet.
The other consideration was that Inholm's Lane car park is getting to be a bit of a nightmare in the wet, with all of the pot holes.
I understood that Frank had sent an email to most folks by early afternoon when I was at the dentist. My plan had been to go to Dorking from there, until the weather intervened, and the motorway was pretty bad going home so that I didn't get in again until 16:30. I had thought of putting up a message here about the cancellation, but my internet access has been iffy all week and I didn't manage to post anything until after there was no longer any point.
For the future, I think it is safe to consider that an event might be cancelled when heavy rain is forecast (and especially when it's coming down). When it rains all afternoon it is wise to check with Frank what the situation is. But if rain is only forecast and/or coming down intermitantly, we will assess the situation out on the course very shortly before the event.
Once again sorry if anyone was intrepid enough to head out to Holmwood looking for an event.
Lisa
With all of the fuss around "elf & safety" we can no longer afford to start an event in the sort of rain that was coming down for almost the whole day on Wednesday - at least in the various places I was! - in case someone gets flattened by a car driver who can't see through his wind-screen and/or considers "spray" to be an adequate excuse for not seeing a poor bedraggled rider in front of him.
It's sad really, because there can be quite fast conditions when it is wet.
The other consideration was that Inholm's Lane car park is getting to be a bit of a nightmare in the wet, with all of the pot holes.
I understood that Frank had sent an email to most folks by early afternoon when I was at the dentist. My plan had been to go to Dorking from there, until the weather intervened, and the motorway was pretty bad going home so that I didn't get in again until 16:30. I had thought of putting up a message here about the cancellation, but my internet access has been iffy all week and I didn't manage to post anything until after there was no longer any point.
For the future, I think it is safe to consider that an event might be cancelled when heavy rain is forecast (and especially when it's coming down). When it rains all afternoon it is wise to check with Frank what the situation is. But if rain is only forecast and/or coming down intermitantly, we will assess the situation out on the course very shortly before the event.
Once again sorry if anyone was intrepid enough to head out to Holmwood looking for an event.

Winter Roller Racing - Food for thought?
Last Thursday I visited my old club room, St Barnabas SRCC before shooting onto KPRC Worcester Park! I tried to avoid Horace seeing my new KPRC top but he spied it. I remminded Horace of a conversation I had about having say a monthly Roller night at the SRCC clubroom during the winter, maybe October to February, inviting a few other clubs to see how it goes? We could start off by inviting KPRC & Clarencourt along at first and see how popular it would be. There is plenty of space and the usual catering availble and if Horace is willing for a shilling, lets give it a try!
Comments please plus and minus on this blog or by e-mail to mmorley@toucansurf.com.
P.S. See cycling this week 4 photo Horace some years ago with sprints suspended on bars in the way it used to be done when I was young.

Jakes Saturday morning training rides
What do the KPRC early morning trainers do afterwards! They return to Horton Country parl 4 a BBQ. Sam is on the right and the daughter of Karin one of Barbara friends (Vanessa on Left), it was her birtday party.Knowing how KPRC like to BBQ (and we could add the Wayfarers too!), you can hire the BBQ by the hour and have an amazing time without messing up your home and garden.
I offer this as a suggestion or a large club gathering one afternoon. Its £15/hr but if we have say 45 to 60 people it works out at at £1 each for say 4hrs. Bring you own grub, wine etc and Gazebo if you wish. Just an idea after a bottle of beer!

Watch out there is a new Blogger about
As from Wednesday I joined the KPRC ( I didn't know they invited vagrants) but I still have to go thru the committee and 2day Lisa invites me to join the blog, so I have. Thank you Lisa ( I promise not to call you Louise any more and to think I have known you since the Family section days Mol & Rita etc).
Though I am not fabulous yet, I thank Frank and all the others for being so inviting and I will do my best to maintain the clubs moto "The Fabulous Phoenix"
Looking forward to good company, not so serious racing (but competitive - I'll never be another Ray Dare, he is certainly Fabulous) and most of all having a good time with men and especially ladies of like mind i.e fast!.
For the record (and I cannot actualy find a note of my best 10ml, 25ml and 50ml times) though my records are still on the Long Eaton Velo www under (Long Eaton Paragon), the following is what I remember:
10ml TT Short 23min.
25ml TT 1hr 00's
50ml TT 2hr. 00's
100ml TT 4-14-19 Club Champ (13 Nat Champ)
12hr. 253.77mls (5th Nat Championship)
All above were in 1963, the year I met Barbara (since when its been all downhill). My biggest regret was never to get under the hour!!
1962 Club Hill Climb Champion Holy Bank Ambergate 3min 33sec. (still a record - changed hill). Club Hill climb champ 1960 to1964. (where's it all gone!)
1963 Club Bar 24.236mph, Open BAR 23.o66mph
1963 BDCA District BAR Champ. 24.068mph
The above is purely for interest (for those interested) and for all those to wonder how did that fat git do such reasonable times so long ago. Answer I was only 23yrs (and a long way from my prime), 2 stone lighter (10st. 4lb) and until then had not learnt what a bad influence women can be on men!

Championship 10
I would have welcomed a shorter ride today than the excellent "A" ride by Pete Barnard, simply because having joined the KPRC to day, I rode the Club 10 Mile Championship Time trial. I am doubly ashamed to say that I was beaten 4 secs by Toni De. He also did the long "A" ride and ended up with a 29min. 18sec time, which puts him so superior to me as he is 2yrs older. Toni however does not take it serious like me which probably means he is not so competitive. I will get him soon but I also have to beat him on standard which is probably by 30secs? Toni watch out there's a sniper about! Meanwhile I congratulate my elders whom I have much respect for.

Well done to Dave Brentnall, winner of the Kingston – Worthing Trophy.
**** Steve was No 8 but due to his late arrival started number 17. his 2-35-26 was his actual time but his Hcp time includes his 9min late start.
Well done to all riders, who battled against the strong South Westerly.
Don’t forget our 50th Kingston – Worthing next year. There is a very strong chance it will be on the same weekend as this year Sunday June 21st.
