General Secretary. As we go to press we learn with deep regret of the death of Tom Webster on the 27th. December. Webster had undergone an operation for some internal growtli in a nursing home and was believed to be progressing favourably, so that the news of his death came as a great shock. Though joining our ranks only about a year ago, he will be greatly missed. ITEMS. A contemporary announces (in huge black capitals on a blood- red background) : " Jerome K. Jerome on Hell." Of course this is pure pfagairism, at once flagrant and feeble ; for did we not, iu April last (and sober black and white letterpress) present to our subscribers an authoritative report from Our Special Correspondent IX Hell. "'The Owls ' gave a concert to a large number of sailors in the Gordon Smith Institute. The audience were very enthusiastic."— Daily Courier, December 10th. This is distinctly " one up " on Ye Froth Blowers, whose counter move we await in a state of (more or less) breathless anticipation. We purloin the following extract from a letter received by the President from Frank Chandler :— "Ihave found the trike almost as good value relatively as we did last Christmas. The quantity of sand on the roads is more than before, and several times the front wheel has ' given ' without anything © happening.AnfieldIt is also a great Bicycleadvantage with regard to the Clubcutting-in habit and all motors are kept in their place. The pace can be put down as a mile per hour faster than at home, owing to a lighter atmosphere, and an average of 15 m.p.h. over a 25-mile run is quite easy. My usual ride is out to a Japanese hotel on the N.-B. corner of the island. A 4-50 p.m. start brings me the 12£ miles distance in nice time to enjoy the sunset over the Johore Straits, accompanied by a bottle of beer and a pipe. The return journey is made under acetylene ; getting back at 7-45 p.m., just in time to cool down prior to bath and dinner .... The velocipede causes a tre mendous sensation on the island, and I understand the editor of the local Punch is seeking information and an opportunity of making a sketch. The roads are good (though not so good as before) ; mostly tarred and treated with sand and a proportion of bitumen ; the result being a good hard road under a sun's radiation of 150-160 degrees F." December 18th. (Pulford) was an off day for the Club ; two of Ours being involved in crashes—luckily, we are glad to say, without any Very serious consequences (at any rate to the Anfield half of the smash) in either case. Ven was fouled by a cart proceeding lightless after dark and in anything but its right line on the road. The cart attempted to mount Yen's bonnet and biff him in the eye, but Anfielders are not so easily over-ridden and Ven was a comfortable victor in the encounter ; his main casualty being a burst radiator which necessitated his being towed home, as against the complete capsizing of his opponent. The second " affair " was the running down from behind of Lucas shortly after leaving Pulford on the homeward trek. We gather that some brain}' motor-cyclist, after hooking up a local cyclist on his front number plate and heaving him into the ditch, tried an encore oil Lucas, who cer tainly went into the ditch, but nobly guarded the rear of the party and rendered the juggernaut artist hots de combat. Lucas was ha.A\y shaken up and suffered one or two minor injuries, but nothing of a grave or lasting nature. Heading from the C.T.C. Gazette: "Our Growing Strength." And we were really awfully disappointed, y'know, when we found that this wasn't a dissertion on physical fitness by Hubert Roskell. Also from the C.T.C. Gazette : " Three Headquarters Funds." Ye Gods ! We have only one and that's an overdraft. Competition amongst cycle manufacturers has always been keen, even to bitterness, but we have the Editor's authority for saying that, even allowing for a deep and rankling animosity, it is unlikely that the Saxon innovation of wood-plugged fork blades will be countered by certain other makers using steel in the construction of their frames. Messrs. Terry announce that their patent spring saddle " offers no resistance when pedalling." We should like a Terry bicycle. " Hills in 1927," says Cycling, " will be the same as in 1920 and all previous years." Sounds a rather doleful outlook, doesn't it ? There was quite a good Airfield representation at the F.O.T.C. Dinner on December 15th., and our own W.P.C. was responsible for the toast of " The Fellowship," anent which Cycling remarks :"Cook © Anfieldis usually a man of fewBicyclewords ...." 'STREWTH Club! How The Rag Is Run. (With apologies to the Editor of " Cycling.") Unfortunately, a number of present-dav cycling clubs possess a GAZETTE or CLUB CIRCULAR. Among these clubs (most unfortun ately of all) is numbered ours. There is a good deal to be said against the Circular—for details see the Editor's waste paper basket. Apart from the Circular's obvious disadvantage of keeping the Club in a state of ferment borderingon riot, it advertisesthe fixtures and enables various members to make perfectly sure of avoiding a run or helping in a race, it runs up the Club's printing bill and runs down the Editor's health and nervous system, and is a most useful medium for offending members' susceptibilities and brewing trouble of all sorts. The Circular never lives up to its name : it is published in the orthodox rectangular form ; it is not an official organ, and can never be regarded seriously. The Editor is a bumptious, bullying jack-m- office, elected by himself to represent himself, and is an irresponsible young devil to boot. (Anybody trying to boot me will get hurt.—Ed.) Cycling says that the readers of a paperare as much responsible for its quality as is it's Editor. This is a gratuitous insult to the main body of Anfielders. Once the Editor has set aside space for unofficial announcements by various members, spiteful jibes at exalted dieties by obscure but vin dictive misanthropic monomaniacs, and sundry other rubbishy contribu tions, there is no room for sensible accounts of runs or official items of any sort. The result is that only three people read their Circular : (!) TheEditor (because he's iollv well got to). (2) W. P. Cook (to see if he can find any mistakes—so 'that he can gleefully call the Editor's attention to them, and then go hoirie and eat a big dinner). (3) Jim Long(toseeif he canfindanythinginteresting—and of course he is never successful). It has been estimated by a statistician that 97-} % of each issue of the Circular is used solely for pipe lighters, shaving paper, and. other base domestic purposes ; while to add foul insult to wanton injury, BobKuipeis now using the scurrilous sheetas a handy andsolidmounting for his detestable red slips. To A Bicycle BelL The above is the title given to a column of verse in Punch of Decem ber 22nd., and we recommend its perusal to all readers of the Circular.

  • LAWRENCE FLETCHER Final and Illustrations
    LAWRENCE FLETCHER – FATHER OF BRITISH ROAD CYCLING? By David Birchall Anyone who knows The Black Anfielders 1 will recognise the name Lawrence Fletcher (illustration 1). It was Fletcher who set the Anfield Bicycle Club on the path it has followed since the 1880s. To his friends he was a “genial, enthusiastic and unassuming gentleman with all the information as to cycling at his fingers’ ends” 2. But there was another side to him: from his cycling exploits alone there can be no doubt that he was single minded, highly competitive, and, on matters of principle, unshakeable. And he conducted his business affairs similarly. The Anfield’s foundations were in place when he joined in 1881. But it was his personality that, as the club history puts it, “set the pattern for the next fifty years of what a good Anfielder ought to be and to do”. His importance to cycling goes far beyond the Anfield, and he deserves to be recognised as one of the key men in the evolution of the sport. He was involved with the creation of the Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC); and it is thanks to his single-minded opposition to the National Cyclists’ Union (NCU) and his energetic defence of the right to compete on public roads that we have the sport of time-trialling, and, indeed, road-racing today. Early years Lawrence Fletcher was born when cycling was in its infancy. In an interview with Athletic Journal 3 he recollected learning to ride during school holidays in 1872 on his brother’s “Eclipse” boneshaker 4.

  • Three Days of Sleepness Nights by John Taylor
    Three Days of Sleepness Nights By John Taylor The story of Lynne Taylor's successful attempt on the Lands End to John O'Groats and 1,000 miles records Three Days of Sleepless Nights By John Taylor An account of Lynne Taylor's successful Lands End to John O'Groats and 1,000 miles Record Attempts, by a proud father It all started at John O’Groats Hotel last year at the end of Lynne’s successful Lands End to John O'Groats (End to End) ride, when the first thing she said to me as we helped her off her bike, was, “I have to go again Dad, haven’t I”. Lynne’s 2001 years mileage was 17,000 miles of which 1,637 were ridden in time trials and her record ride. She had hoped to get onto the stage at Derby on the RTTC Champions night in the women's Best .All .Rounder Competition, however once again she came just outside the top six. I have to have my say and think that in a question of equality, surely the women should be the same as the men and the top twelve should be taken into account - my own personal view of course and perhaps I’m biased. After going to many club dinners as guest speaker, on her bike wherever possible, Lynne passed the winter of 2001 into 2002. The start of this year was going pretty much the same as the previous year. On a cold and windy day, Lynne’s hilly Elizabethan 21 miles performance putting her on The End to End route a par with the men.
