CONTACTS

The committee for the club is made up of the following members, who will be willing to assist you with any further information regarding the club.
PRESIDENT
Robert Downham  president@worthingexcelsior.co.uk  -  01903 268380
Picture
I joined the club in 1981 at the age of 13 and started racing straight away in time trials and then turned my hand at road racing. In 1985 I rode the National Junior 25 miles championship held in York. Nowadays I still ride time trials mainly between 10 and 50 miles, but I have also ridden a couple of 100 mile events over the last few years. I enjoy the social side of riding which now includes Audax and Sportive events. I served on the committee in several roles include general committee member, Treasurer and Chairman before becoming President.

CHAIRMAN
Graeme Gill   chairman@worthingexcelsior.co.uk  -  01903 531069
Picture
My interest in cycling began, with my family, enjoying riding veteran bikes. These gradually became a little more modern as the mileage increased.  Many of the club members would still describe me as a little ‘retro’. Although I am not competitive I do take part in the Evening Ten series, just trying to beat my own times.
​
We have a strong nucleus of competitive riders representing the club in local events and our Sunday Morning Club rides are well attended.
Looking to the future I would like to see the club expand, attracting younger members as well as more female riders. 

SECRETARY
Adrian Palmer  secretary@worthingexcelsior.co.uk  -  01444 244717
Picture
Adrian has been riding his bike for many years but gave up racing because he realised he wasn't any good at it! He now just enjoys the simple pleasures of just riding his bike believing that any exercise that involves sitting down is good.

TREASURER
Ken Newton  treasurer@worthingexcelsior.co.uk
Ken manages the funds of the club carefully, for which we all thank him most gratefully.
MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY
Mick Irons  membership@worthingexcelsior.co.uk  -  01903 240280
Picture
I joined the club in October 1995 and have been membership secretary since 2005. My other involvements with club are riding Audaxes, leading the slower club ride and timekeeping.

CLUB RUNS and TOURING COORDINATOR
Tony Palmer  clubruns@worthingexcelsior.co.uk  -  01273 558597
Picture
I joined Worthing Excelsior Cycling Club in 1963 and have enjoyed many activities that the club has to offer. During that time I have ridden in Time trials, Road Races, Track Events, Audax Events, and Reliability Trials all with varying degrees of success. Additionally, I have been able to take part in cycle touring both in the UK and Europe. Club Runs have always been a part of my enjoyment of being a Club member.

During my membership I have served on the Committee in many posts, Time Trial Secretary, Road Race Secretary, Runs and Touring Secretary and President. Non-committee positions have been Timekeeper and Handicapper. During my period of Presidency, the club Committee nominated me to take up the position of President of both the Sussex Cyclist's Association and the East Sussex Cycling Association for one year which I duly accepted and was proud to represent the Club at the Association functions.
​

The Club has always been active in promoting Open events for the benefit of other cyclists and I have been able to promote on behalf of the Club, Open Time Trials, Road Races, Audax Events and Reliability Trials.

Although my racing activities are now past, riding my bike, especially with other members of the Worthing Excelsior Cycling Club give me great pleasure and the exercise I need.

DATA PROTECTION OFFICER

Picture
Spencer is the man that puts together the Evening 10s programme, together with the Evening Hill Climbs, and makes sure that all the necessary helpers (timekeepers, start marshals, course marshals, caterers etc.) are in place along with the signs and the administration. No small feat.

ASSISTANT EVENTS SECRETARY

Ian Cheesman
BRITISH CYCLING REPRESENTATIVE

WEB ADMINISTRATOR
Mike O'Gorman

Having joined the club in 2011 Mike has, in the words of his wife, become an enthusiastic addict.

Mike rides regularly, competing in club and open time trials across a wide area. 

He is secretary of the Sussex Cyclists Association and runs their web site (as well as this one).
