1 + 1 = 2

Can you do the above sum? Can you also do subtractions? Then you are just the person that this Club will need after November, so please put your thinking cap on now and prepare to volunteer. Why? Well here’s a message from David L, Treasurer:

“After some 10-years as Treasurer, including a few years as Assistant Treasurer, I have decided not to continue after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in November.”

“If anyone is interested in taking on this very important role then please contact me to discuss it in more detail. In addition, we will also need someone to Audit/Check the Annual Accounts in October this year. I look forward to hearing from you.” David L, Treasurer

You too could look like this after November. In the meantime, many thanks to David Leech for all his good work as our Treasurer

Tip Top

Under Carol B’s captaincy, our Ladies Clwydian League Team sits atop the ‘A’ Division Table in its first year in the Division. The Team won the Division ‘B’ title last year at its first attempt, so keep going ladies and try to emulate that amazing and unexpected win by Emma Raducanu at the US Open in 2021 (tennis).

2024 Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain

After winning the 1st Stage of the Tour that ended in Llandudno on Thursday, Lotte Kopecky also won the 2nd Stage that was a circular route from Wrexham through the Horseshoe Pass and back into Wrexham. On the 2nd Stage, she broke away from the Peloton together with the British rider Anna Henderson, and they had an exciting race to the finishing line. Stage 3 from Warrington was won by Kopecky’s teammate but Kopecky remained top of the General Classification. On the 4th, and final, Stage yesterday, Kopecky came in 4th but won the overall event, plus she won the Sprinter’s Jersey. Lizzie Deignan, of the Great Britain Cycling Team, won the Queen of the Mountains plus the Combativity Award. Anna Henderson took 2nd place overall and was crowned the Best British Rider.

Friendly and Newsy

A couple of bits of information from Dave H, Club Secretary. Firstly, the Friendly match arranged for Thursday 6th June, versus the Oval, has had to be postponed. They hope to rearrange it for later in the season.

Secondly, it’s Newsletter time. Click Here to read the latest news from the Club.

Groucho Marx would, no doubt, have read the newsletter if the internet had been invented a few years earlier
