Young Tyro, Will Stephenson (Rapha/Condor) was guest of honour at Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers annual prize presentation. Stephenson told the club about how he became involved in cycling. The good natured boo’s that greeted the mention of his first club, Bournemouth Arrow, quickly died away as he assured all, that the Jubilee would have been his choice had the evening 10 course been closer to home. The Great Britain junior went on to speak about his experiences at the World Championships in September. One of the highlights he proudly said was, sneakily trying on the red, white & blue kit in the hotel room prior to the race. Dave Pickering went away with most of the silverware including, Club Best All-Rounder and the multi- discipline Boyson Trophy. Other prize winners included Simon Meadwell (Cyclo-cross), Dave Hicks (hill climb) and Dave Mansfield (Messer Shield). Mike Walsh was awarded the 21st Anniversary cup for services to the club, Mike is standing down as organiser of the very popular reliability trials. Disappointingly numbers were down on previous years, but those in attendance enjoyed themselves and the club is indebted to organiser Kevin Ridge, who managed to source a pretentious red and a cheeky white which was provided free to all.
