SROCkite.gif (2521 bytes) Night Street League finale and prize giving

The ever popular SROC Street League ended the 2014-15 season last night with the now traditional mass start handicap event, this time on the area surrounding the Anderton Arms, Fulwood. Series supremo Bob Nash pulled off another great event and organised a swift prize giving afterwards. We were honoured to have Dave Simpson to present the awards. Dave joined the South Ribble Fell and Mountain Rescue Team, from a fell walking background, in the early 60's and then was present when they formed SROC in Dec '64.  He is 80 this year and now cycles and until recently was still fell walking. Our photo (credit: John Britton) shows Quentin Harding receiving his Preston Guild Trophy from Dave. Quentin also collected the first male and overall trophies. First female was Karen Nash, best newcomers were Mary-Kate Kidd and Luigi Lerose and top pair Tracey Peters and Steve Mclean. Josh Sammon won best under 18. Handicap winner on the night was Jill Cochrane. More of John's photos in the Gallery.
