Cycling and Time Trials in North Norfolk
Keith Crane recently passed away (28th January). He was a former president of the North Norfolk Wheelers and led from the front by competing well into his 80’s. Below is an article from the North Norfolk News dated 16th August 2007 when he was 81 (on a classic Raleigh Banana). He cycled throughout his life until he unfortunately suffered a stroke in March 2015. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
A great night was had by members attending the annual event at Upper Sheringham Village Hall. Chairman Chris Knowles presented the trophies along with Greg from Black Bikes with a new 10m road TT trophy in memory of Albert Gravenor. In addition Geoff Paice won the North Norfolk District Council 2018 award for services to sport. There was an excellent buffet provided by The Lunch Box, Sheringham and a cycling quiz. A full list of the annual awards are shown below:

Our annual club social and awards evening will be on Saturday 26th January at Upper Sheringham Village Hall, NR26 8UB (next to the church) starting at 7pm. It should be a great informal get together with lots of people confirmed so far. There will be a club trophy presentation and buffet (locally homemade food and no plastic plates!). There may also be a prize quiz of some kind.
All current/former club members 1st and 2nd claim, partners, family and friends welcome. We are keeping it at a bargain £15 a head (£7.50 for any under 16). Any dietary requirements other than meat/vege please email me. Can you let me know if you/any others are attending so we can get rough numbers.
