Olympic Gold for Eddy Clancy
What a day Monday was for the Holme Valley Wheelers. It all started around 10. 30 am. Look North
wanted to film members of the club watching the team pursuit. Mark Wilcox’s was the chosen venue. At lunch time I did a live interview on radio Leeds. Then Jonathan Trollope and myself faced a Calendar Film Crew. Our congratulations were sent to Eddy on his wonderful ride.

Posted in Events, Social on the 11th October 2007Majorca 2008
Dear Everyone,
Martin Lynn, is looking to book Majorca again for 2008. The Hotel Alexandra in C’an Pastilla (half board basis) is available. This is where we have gone for the last few years. It suits our purposes and has a secure room for the bikes.
The total cost will be between £300.00 and £350.00 depending on the flight prices. This will include bike transport on the airline (£30.00), taxis to and from the airport in Majorca and the cost of Steve Palmer to move the bikes from the airport to the hotel and back.
It does not include the cost of getting to the UK airport.
Holiday travel/medical insurance is not included.
I will have had to pay for the flights in full when I book and pay a deposit for the hotel. I will therefore require an initial deposit of around £200.00.
Easter is early next year and martin is looking to travel on Monday 24/3/08 (Easter Monday) and return on Monday 31/3/08.
Please let him know ASAP if you want to go, so that he can book the hotel and flights.
