Hi all. 

Can I get some indication of how many riders would be interested in a BHPC session on the indoor Derby Velodrome - it'd be 10-12am on either Sun 8th, 15th (Mother's Day) or 22nd March. The track is £303 per hour = £606 for two hours, so it'd be £30 each if we get 20 riders, or £20 each if we get 30 riders, and we'd be limited to 16 riders on track at once, so I'd suggest a max of 32 riders total. Let me know please, and if there's sufficient interest I'll get it booked asap.

It'll be me paying for this personally, so please only genuine interest!

Reply here if you're interested and I'll add you to the list on FB. 

Russ

	I never use FaceAche but am interested in either of the first two dates. It is unlikely that I will try to ride my Trykit around the banking… Edited by LWaB - 02 December 2025 at 6:18pm

	Thanks Dave. I've got you on the 'yes' list already. There's not enough people said yes yet though - 15 so far, and we need 20 to make it work. Hopefully a few more will say yes over the next few days so that we can get it booked. Russ

	Derby velodrome is now fixed for Sunday 8th March, 10:00-12:00. Sign-on is open now in the BHPC Shop (shop.bhpc.org.uk/derby-velodrome-2026) - £30 for members (2025 or 2026) and £40 for non-members If you are joining BHPC to get the member rate then you will need to do it in two separate orders: buy membership buy sign-on The shop doesn't know you are a member until the first order completes, so if you put membership and sign-on on the same order you won't get the member discount. () 2026 membership isn't available to buy until 1st January 2026

	Unfortunately I'll be unable to race on the day, although there's a chance I can pop along and watch - have fun and don't fall over , if you do then do it with style as demonstrated by Ian Squires!

	SIGN-ON EXTENDED We're pleased to say that registration for Derby has now been extended until Thursday 5th March. Sign-on originally closed on 5th February to give us time to cancel the event if numbers weren't sufficient to cover costs. By 5th February we did have enough to make sure the event goes ahead so registration has been reopened for any latecomers, up to a maximum of 32 riders (set by the Derby coaching team).

	If there is anyone going to Derby who would be able to take the timing tent to the first race at Hillingdon (11th April) then please let me know - a reply here will do. The tent has been over-wintering in my spare room, however I won't be going to Hillingdon so can't take it there. I shall, however, be at Derby so could hand it over if there is anyone with space who will be going to Hillingdon. Many thanks - Andrew

	The Young Lady is unlikely to attend but her spot will be paid for either way. I am probably able to take the tent back down south.

	Hi Dave - Dan Bergonzi has now offered via Facebook so I'll probably be giving him the tent at Derby. Should that fail, for whatever reason, I shall take you up on your offer - many thanks.
