A 'thank you' letter I received from Demelza House.
Total raised, as you will see, was £507.50 (which equates to
£42.29p per hour or £2.58 a mile).

Introducing the De Laune CC 100 Club
To be
launched in January 2010 the 100 Club allows you the opportunity to
support De Laune CC whilst giving the owner of each number the fantastic
chance of winning a monthly prize draw.
For just
£20 a number is yours for the year and gives you entry into each months
draw. Draws will be made at the committee meeting each month for 10
months of the year and should we sell all 100 numbers the first number
drawn will win £30, with a second prize £20 and a third prize of £10.
There will be 2 special draws each year with just a single top cash
prize of £200.
The
remaining income from the 100 Club will be ploughed directly back into
De Laune CC to help to continue to subsidise all of the events, social
and competitive, and clothing etc which we all enjoy.
We are sure
that you will agree this is a very exciting opportunity open to
every-one, and what a great gift a De Laune CC number would make for
Christmas!

De Laune CC for £20 per number stating the number(s) you want to:

BETTSHANGER COLLIERY (Near Deal Kent)
NEW CYCLE RACING CIRCUIT
As some of you are aware a new cycle racing circuit is
being planned on part of the old colliery land. There is a fund of around £18.8
million to finance the whole of the recreational area being developed.
Cycling will play a major part in this project and is
headed by Malcolm Whitehead VC Deal, who some of you know. The cycling part of
the overall structure is under way, plans are more or less finalised for the
circuit (I hope the plan I have can be reproduce for the DLN and Website ) It's
configuration is basically a figure eight design giving options of about 6
different circuits(clockwise anti clockwise etc.).The smaller circuit is fairly
well sheltered and the wooded area in the centre will be a conservation area and
will be fenced off. The larger circuit is exposed and will certainly sort the
men out from the boys. The total combined circuit is approximately 2 miles. I
have ridden over the proposed circuit at the initial invitation site meeting for
cyclist, but have no intentions of taking up circuit racing but hope to ride a
few 10 mile TT's. Around the perimeter of the racing track will be a cycle path
for leisure cycling, which will be shared with walkers. There will also be BMX,
MTB and cyclo- cross areas/courses.
For local residents it will provide a community centre and
no doubt other facilities. A grandstand/ pavilion and a storage building for
cycle equipment may require further funding, but it is envisaged that the track
will be completed by the end of this year.
This is a exciting and ambitious project and Malcolm
Whitehead is to be congratulated for the time & effort that he is putting into
it. He would appreciate constructive positive comments, observations, and in the
near future, hands on assistance would be, no doubt, of great help to him.
Whilst this circuit is situated in the depths of East
Kent, it is not a million miles away. For some of you it would take no longer
than getting to Eastways ( straight down the A2 / M2 turning off just before
Dover -1 hour from Bexley). I feel that the De Laune should support this project
- especially bearing in mind (attention all those who have ridden the Kent
League) the current road racing situation.
I went to a meeting just before Christmas, there were
representatives from most of the East Kent clubs, plus Mick Cooper (Old Kent)
and myself. We will all be kept up to date, by Malcolm, as the project
progresses and I am willing to continue as our club's representative. However,
having no experience of circuit racing, as time goes by, somebody else from our
club could be of more use to Malcolm. I have mentioned this to Pete Harris and
perhaps he, or Matt Goodes (1 hour to the meeting Matt!!) or a volunteer might
wish to attend future meetings ( I can put them up for the night)
Please contact me if you have any questions on Tele. 01227
373045.
Malcolm Adams.
