West Kent CTC’s AGM will be held following the Hill Climb on April 7th. The meeting will be held at Knockholt Village Centre (a hall at the West end of the village) starting at 2pm. This is an opportunity to hear how we have been getting on during year and to discuss any issues that are raised. Light refreshments will be available after the meeting.
This years special centenary Hill Climb will take place on Sunday 7th April.
Start time : 11.00am
Entry fee: £1.00 on the day.
Venue: Old Pol Hill.
The start is next to a the former Polhill Arms and a lay by at the top of Polhill between the Badgers
Mount roundabout and Morleys roundabout on the A21.
Tea, coffee and home made cakes will be served.
This event is primarily a bit of fun, open to all ages and abilities with a cunning handicap to even
things up, with a team prize for the 3 fastest combined times of the various section of the West
Kent.
Entries are open to all, including non CTC / CycleUK members and so please encourage your
friends to have a go. The fastest West Kent rider will be awarded the prestigious Martin Davis cup,
onto which their name will be engraved for posterity, and prizes will be awarded for 1st lady, junior
and veteran (over 70).
Even if you don’t fancy riding, it is a good opportunity to meet up with club mates and to support
the event, which does take a significant number of volunteers to enable it to happen.
Put it in your diary, and looking forward to seeing you there.
