It’s going to be an awesome night of food, drink and lots of dancing. What better way to end the year and raise some money in the process?!?
Buy tickets individually or book a private table for up to 8 people…just click on the poster to go to the online shop.
We really need to raise some money to buy some more freelap watches for use at TickerTape races…
So, we’re asking our TickerTape loving members to get creative and think up ways to (legitimately) raise some doh.
What about…
A sponsored ride.
A week of doing chores around the house.
1000 press ups in an hour.
Bunny-hop your gran.
Going a whole week without saying “rad”, “dude”, “yeahhh boi!”, hi-fiving or greeting people by saying…”sup”.
Or, just rattling a big bucket at a supermarket checkout whilst dressed as a brownie.
Whatever you can think of and successfully carry out without stealing, hurting or defrauding other people is cool.
So now for the best bit…
All proceeds will go towards buying freelap watches (which is obviously very cool), the top three fund raisers will win some cool prizes AND whoever raises over £100 will have their name put into a hat to win this brand new beautiful commemorative signed copy of STEVE PEAT WORLD CHAMPION- SEVENTEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING – something that money simply can’t buy (he only signed 100 copies, we ordered this one within minutes of it being available and got #15, the rest have all since gone) !
So go on, download the sponsorship sheet (you can use as many as you need) and get fundraising!
The closing date is Friday October the 1st.
All money collected for this fundraiser must be given to the BCC or returned to the donors.
Money can be donated personally and / or raised by sponsorship.
The BCC will spend all of the money raised from this fundraiser on Freelap watches and timing equipment for use at TickerTapes.
We’re giving away 2 x year memberships + 2 x BCC T shirts at tonights Fund Raising raffle. So go on, buy a strip….
Date: Thursday 17th June 2010
Time: 20:00
Place: Little Theatre, Bath

This months Tickertape – ‘super-duper, down to earth, timed & taped downhill event‘ , is on Saturday 19th June.
Our old friend BBMS has had some new organic surgery to his/her lower half and we will be riding him/her all day after we’ve dressed him/her up in stylish shimano tape and stuck some freelap timing poles up the top and down the bottom of him/her. Some help undressing him/her at the end, leaving BBMS in peace to rest will be commended by the wood gods and will give you good luck in your future bicycle antics.
Riding at a Tickertape is limited to club members only, whom must wear a full face helmet, but anyone is welcome to come along and spectate. There is no entry cost, however donations are very welcome to cover the costs of Tickertape events and to help reach our target of being able to purchase some more freelap watches for the club. So, if you feel like ‘buying the tickertape a pint’………….. please do.
The weather looks good, but a word of advice is to bring insect repellent or some money to purchase some avon skin so soft (what the marines use in the jungle as insect repellent, apparently) for £3 from the club.
See you soon amigos.
In the run-up to the Megavalanche this year I’m racing to raise money for Re~Cycle.
Re~Cycle reconditions unwanted bikes and sends them to Africa to provide cheap, sustainable transport which improves the lives of people living in some of the poorest communities.
So far the money raised amounts to £325, but there is still a long way to go to reach our target for this worthy cause.

Hello
We’ve agreed to help set up and pack away for this years Elizabethan Evening in Corsley at the weekend (12th and 13th June), and we need all the help we can get!
We did the same last year and were kindly rewarded with a donation of £500 (which paid towards the Ride Leader Training)!!!
All you need to do is give a few hours to help put out chairs, benches and tables on Saturday – then put them away again on the Sunday.
Each day will start at 10:00am and finish around midday (we were given bacon baps last time!)
please please please put your name down bellow if you can make either, we will need all the help we can get!
Full event details here: http://www.bath360.co.uk/whats-on/elizabethan-evening-goes-victorian (it’s a great event!)
We are currently fund raising to buy a brand new (4.5mtr x 4.5mtr) event shelter for use at races, dig days, TickerTapes, dinner ’til dusk and all other club events. We will also be commissioning a feasibility study and overview plan of MTB trail development at Longleat soon so are fund raising towards this Also. This is something that will really help us move the development of XC, Skills Area and DH trails forward…
So who can help?

Thanks!
With a couple of months behind us we’ve decided to slash the price of the BCC Calendar to £5 so that we can clear the final few and get some money in the bank. So if you haven’t got one already please consider getting one now, it’s full of fantastic images from our first year as a club and really is worth having as a memento (not to mention the fact that there’s still 8 months left and it’s a flipping good calendar)!
To buy a calendar just click on the “shop” tab above.
