Good stuff Will!

Do you know a Local Sporting Champion?Are you, or do you know, a dedicated young athlete, coach or official participating in a state or national sporting championships? Are you aged 12-18 years old travelling further than 250km return for a state or national championships?
If yes, then you or your team could be eligible for a Local Sporting Champions grant to help meet costs such as uniforms, travel, accommodation and equipment.

Tri . tri, trii……iathlon. Say this to a cyclist and they will think you’ve caught a new sort of cold. Ask them and most cyclists they will tell you that you should only swim when you fall into the water and that you should only run if being chased by a large dog. You should never, ever try to swim before riding a bike and under no circumstances should you ever consider running after riding your bike; you should hang about talking about what gear you’re riding beforehand and then sip coffee and work out tomorrow’s recovery ride afterwards.

Are you a current Level 1 Commissaire and want to move up to Level 2? CV will be running a course in a few months to help you learn/train to become a level 2. The course doesn’t cost anything and it will be held at DISC. It will be run by our own Karen O’Callaghan (UCI Commissaire) and Matthew Wright (National Level 3 Commissaire).

To the President and Members of the Brunswick Cycling Club,
The family of the late John Graham thankyou for your condolences. John enjoyed every moment of his involvement with cycling, especially the friendships made during his time with Brunswick. During his illness he liked to watch cycling on TV and many old cycling videos he had collected over the years. Our special thanks to those who visited John during his illness and/or attended John’s funeral, I hope we were able to thank them at the time.
Beverley, Carolyn and Rodney, Stephen and Lynda, Julie and Joe, Jesse, Holly, Daniel, Zachary, and Alexander.
