Chas Wannabee Posted December 17, 2008 Share Welcome Background The CYCLING CLUB HELDERBERG has grown out of an informal social group known as the WANNABEES which met on a regular basis for a period of about eight years which was driven by Erill Kemp. With the need to cater for registered riders and the challenges faced with the control of large informal groups the club was formed in 2008 and are still fondly known as the Wannabees So what is in it for you? 1. There is a home for all. 2. The team which has been at your beck and call all these years behind cycling in the Helderberg is still in place. 3. You have a club that offers you the following portfolios and advantages under the auspices of the Main Steering Committee: ? A get-together for like-minded people with different abilities and goals ? Safety Committee with Law Enforcement/Traffic Control on board. ? Social Committee ? organised breakfast rides etc ? Clothing/Designing Committee ? Junior/Schools/Sub and Vets Development Committee ? Double Century Committee at least 4 teams per year entered ? MTB Committee with organised off-road rides (monthly)? Organised controlled group rides ? Quality kit at give-away prices ? Discounted prices for products/services of sponsors on presentation of membership card ( e.g. Dulce?s ? Waterstone, Helderberg Cycle World)? Training programmes for different events ?
