Graham Gerrard

Dear club members,

It is with great sadness that I have to pass on the news that our club president Graham Gerrard died this morning following a period of ill health.

Graham was a founder member of the club and has worked on the committee for the past 25 years. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the rules and regulations in cycling always kept us on the right path with the club.

Graham was a true gentleman and will be greatly missed by his friends in YCC.

Our thoughts are with Carole and his family.

I will put out a note when I hear about funeral arrangements

9th August 2012

Are you willing to take part in the challenge of this years Ythan Cycle
Run on Sunday 1st September?

This year both routes will start and finish at Udny Green with the
long (26 mile approx.) route passing through Methlick . There will also be
a shorter 7 mile approx. route suitable for families and for those who
prefer a more gentle bike ride. Refreshments will be available on the
long route and at the end of the event for all participants, these are
included in the registration fee. Start time for the run will be 1
p.m.

Registration and sponsorship forms and other information including a map
of the routes are available on the website www.ythancyclerun.co.uk or from
hilarygordon@gmail.com

We hope all participants will ask friends and family to sponsor them so
we can raising the maximum amount for your own and this years nominated
charity Monty's Maggie's Appeal. This worthwhile charity has been
fundraising to bring a Maggie's Centre to Aberdeen for people affected by
cancer across Grampian.

Please pass on information about this years Cycle Run to anyone you think
might be interested, and we hope to see you all there at Udny Green on 1st
September.

Regards
