Press Cuttings/Scrapbook

The following are a tribute to our wonderful club legend Don Lock. They are scans of the 'cut and paste' books that he so carefully put together over the years. The 2015 scrapbook is of course incomplete due to his tragic demise. He is fondly missed by so very many people and this is but a tiny way of keeping that memory strong.

WECC Records Publication (1987)

This is a scan of Don Lock's copy of a publication issued by the club in 1987 showing all the various record holders at that time.

One of the pages shows pencilled workings by Don from 2015 as he was looking to bring the records up to date for putting onto the club's web site. Sadly he was unable to complete that task and it has now been done with him very much in mind.

Land's End to John O'Groats (1984)

In July 1984 Don Lock and John Mansell undertook a ride from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise funds for St Barnabas' Home. Don prepared a detailed scrapbook of the adventure and this is a scan of that book.

Worthing Wheel

The club magazine "Worthing Wheel" was produced over many years by Don right up until early 2015. Members will recall him wandering around before club runs and club time trials handing out copies of the eagerly awaited latest issue.

​In early 2015 he decided to take a well-earned retirement from production of the magazine and no-one was able to step into his shoes. Also,  by that stage the immediacy of publication on the web site together with social media meant that members were being kept up to date in other ways so January 2015 was the final publication (except for a special one-off Christmas 2016 tribute edition which was created and published in his honour).
