All,
Reviewing the very poor weather conditions throughout today, we have taken the decision to cancel today’s ride.
Kind regards

The Tour of the Hills takes place in just over a week’s time, on Sunday 16th August. It is our première event of the year, and even though the entry fee remains remarkably low, it remains a very important event for us, enabling us to make a profit and pay for so many things through the year for the benefit of all members.
I am still short of marshals for the event, so I would urge members to volunteer now in order that this event can take place, and be at the high standard that has been set over the years. You will not be committed to man a control all day, there are specific opening and closing times, dependent on the final number of entries. If you can help out, please e-mail me asap on johnmatsouthview@btinternet.com; thank you.
It may be that some potential marshals would like to ride the event, so Don has agreed that if you marshal, you can ride the route at any time between now and 1 week after the event, at no charge, and if you provide either myself or Don with your time, you will be shown as a finisher.

For those who are interested, there have been some comments on my recent post ‘Subscribe to the Forum’, but someone has suggested that they will not have generated automatic emails which will draw your attention to them and that such an email is desirable. Hence this post; I apologise if you consider it to be unnecessary.
I am organising a couple of things which are not part of WSCTC’s formal programme – they are not on the Rides List. I have posted information about them on the the WS Forum, but have recently become aware that most members neither look at it regularly nor are subscribers (for email notifications), so they are not aware of the ride to the seaside I am organising this Sunday nor of my tour in S France in September.
WSCTC currently has two forums, ‘Discussions’ and ‘For Sale and Wanted’. If you already have a WSCTC user name and password you can log in and then, at the top of each forum page you will find a ‘Subscribe’ hyperlink. (If you are already subscribed it will say ‘Unsubscribe’ instead.) Otherwise you can go to either Forum page and find the ‘Register’ section at the foot of the left-hand column. Registering for a forum automatically subscribes you to that forum (as well as letting you post to it).
I’m fairly sure that’s how it works, but if I’ve got some detail a bit wrong I hope our Webmaster will provide a correction.
Please note that ‘Latest News’ and the Blog are intended for official stuff. The Forum is the place where unofficial posts may appear.
