Award-winning CTC members celebrate success

At this time of year, hundreds of CTC groups and over 600 hundred affiliated clubs are holding Christmas parties and award ceremonies. The awards are the chance to highlight the amazing work CTC members do to encourage cycling and support cyclists in their local areas. 

South West London CTC wanted to thank one of their keenest and most enthusiastic members, who has encouraged many people to get back on their bikes. Lynda Barrow was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award for her work bringing in new riders to the group. Lynda leads the weekly Wednesday beginner rides and encourages many people to keep going in all weathers. She was nominated by long-term member 'Fuzz' Edwards. 

Lynda's commitment to the group is outstanding and she is very welcoming and friendly to new people.  No one is left behind on her rides."

John volunteered as Secretary for more than 30 years. The group is now preparing for its 90th anniversary in 2015.
