2003 AGM
The 2003 Annual General Meeting takes place at 8pm on Wednesday 12 February
at the Western Rifle Range, St. Peter. Make sure you have your say in
how the club is organised and be there.
Liberation Day Weekend Training
Why not take advantage of the long weekend around Liberation Day (9-11
May) and get in some training around Lamballe in Bretagne. It's only
an hour from St. Malo so travelling is easy. This should be of particular
interest to those doing the Etape
du Tour and the Raid Pyrénéan as well as those
wanting good times in the Randonnées. For more information ask
on the club runs.
Jay Morris 1972-2003
February saw the untimely death of Jay Morris after he lost his battle
against cancer. Jay was an active participant of the Jersey cycling
scene for over a decade and will be missed by us all.

enough to travel home. This comes at a bad time (is there a good time?)
