A few years ago, Malcolm Pexton wrote a brief history of the early days of YWW. This was hosted on the North Yorkshire CTC web site (www.ctcnorthyorkshire.org.uk), which no longer exists, and it didn't make it across to the only replacement ( www.cyclinguk.org/group/ctc-north-yorkshire) that I know of. As a very long shot, does anyone know whether any copy of the history still exists anywhere? |

I did print a few things off before the site went down. I’ll have a look and see if I can remember where I filed them, and if that was one of the things I printed. Are you sure that it was on the CTC NY site, because Malcolm also looked after the old Wednesday Wheelers site too. It might be worth contacting him or Janet to see if he still has it. I think that Ann Benton keeps in touch with Janet.

Yes, I'm sure that it was on the CTC NY site: the (broken) link that was on our own links page until today pointed at www.ctcnorthyorkshire.org.uk/wwhistory/I'm separately trying to get in contact with Malcolm as I think it's pretty likely that he'll have kept a copy. |

Sorry but I haven’t been able to find the stuff that I thought I had saved.

Thanks for looking Andrew. Happily, Malcolm had an archive of all the content, which I've now got a copy of.

Malcolm's history and a related gallery of photos from the 25th anniversary run is now on our own website. Follow the links above or navigate via the links page. I haven't revised any of Malcolm's content but some of it is due a revision: the club is now more than twice the size it was in 2017! Thanks to all those who helped unearth a copy of this, including those who took time to search but didn't find anything. |
