SOCIAL AND AWARDS NIGHT - 3RD MARCH
After a gap of several years the Committee have reintroduced the Swindonn Road Club Social and Awards Nights. The event will be held in the Oak Room at the Kings Arms Hotel, Wood Street, Swindon on Saturday 3 March 2012. The wood panelled function room has been reserved for our exclusive use together with its private bar. The evening will start at 7.30pm with a welcome drink on arrival. The buffet meal will commence at 8pm to be followed our guest of honour Flavio Zappi, a familiar name and face to many of you.
The Committee is delighted Flavio has accepted our invitation as guest speaker given his extensive palmares and knowledge of the sport. He has raced successfully in the Giro d'Italia, Milan San Remo, Tour of Suisse amongst many others and has ridden alongside such notable names as Moreno Argentin, Francesco Moser, Roberto Visentini and Larent Fignon. We are certain his anecdotes will entertain and his return to racing in 2007 in England will give a current flavour to proceedings.
The price of tickets are £10 per head for adults and U16 are £5. Both prices are subsidised by the Club and we hope you agree offer excellentvalue for money given the prices include welcome drink, buffet and guest speaker. The dress code is smart, casual, i.e. no jeans but tie not essential. The event is open to Members, family and friends.
Please support this event and help us make a success of the evening which we hope will once again become an annual social celebration. Trophies will be awarded on the night in the following categories:
• Senior Road Race
• Fastest 25
• Vets TT
• Vets Road Race
• Evening 10 series
• CycloCross
• Contribution Award
• Hillclimb
• Wroughton – Beckhampton
