To kick start the first club social event of 2017 – Ystwyth CC have exclusive use of the University Swimming Pool and sauna for club members and their families to enjoy a swim, splash and sauna (and optional pool games!) free of charge https://www.facebook.com/events/1875813722656749/

These will be coached sessions based at Canolfan Rheidol, Council Offices in Aberystwyth.

The Welsh Cycling Awards were held in Cardiff on the 29th October to celebrate the successes of Welsh cyclists, achievements and dedications of volunteers, clubs and coaches in Wales. With more than 165 cycling clubs affiliated to Welsh Cycling, Ystwyth CC were shortlisted for ‘Club of the Year’ and awarded runners up in this competitive category, this was a fantastic achievement for the club.

The club also had another reason to celebrate at the Awards night, Chris Jones had been shortlisted for his hard work in setting up the Junior section of the club and was nominated for ‘Coach of the Year’ award.

Thanks to everyone that came along to the club AGM we had a fantastic turnout. The updated list of committee members is available on the website. There were some great ideas raised from the discussions, which the committee have noted and will discuss at the first meeting. If you didn’t have a chance to attend and would like to pass on ideas and feedback for the club please contact any member of the committee or email anitasaycell@gmail.com .
