Welcome to the forum
CCA Annual Trophy Awards
As many of you are aware
At the Christmas bash there are usually glittering prizes
in line with the "fun" club ethos
This year will be a variation on the theme
3 racing prizes / 1 appointed prize / 5 "fun " prizes
a trophy will be available for all
See below for the fun prizes
You may want to suggest some names with reasons to help proceedings
Although only votes on the night will count I am afraid
( some tickets still available )
3 racing trophies
Hill Climb winner ( CCA )
Fastest Youth 10
Most Improved 10
1 appointed
Clubman of the year
( appointed by the Chairman )
5 Club Status symbols
CAV Wannabe
Best lead out Rider
Biggest Poseur
Lord of Lingering Repairs ( including punctures )
Nasty Boy of the year
You suggestions will be a great help
All shortlisted candidates should attend
No video links will be acceptable
Perhaps a debate this weekend will be in order
James :-)

" you don't do it like that " award
or
" friendly advice on your second race " award
not sure who they had in mind
Got any more ?
James
They believe that whilst deserving, Tim Skelding should not get ALL the fun prizes
I think they have a point
So perhaps some reflection is required
The fact that he owns a number of high spec bikes and wears a bandana
( Cervelo R3 SL is NOT a winter bike )
should be considered
and perhaps this narrows it down to only 1
James
So fear not James, I'm certainly not in the 'Nasty Boy' stakes, my Summer bikes haven't had mechanicals, I can't be best lead out rider as I clearly won so many sprints this year ;-) so that leaves just one :-))))
A certain local farmer made a clear bid today
Lead the competition straight into a deep hole by last minute swerves ( whilst laughing )
I think giving bent wheels to others just to win has got to qualify
As for Tim
I still recall a Belgium man on man race for a white sign
being beat by the older man must be in Wannabe land
I particularly liked the " You B@!1*%%$#" quote
Some things are worth remembering !
The Lord of lingering may involve bottom brackets
Nasty boy may revolve around forum requests to calm dowm
So much to choose from !
Perhaps a few more ideas to help the memory
Got any ?
PS riding a normal bike for 1 week......
Too little, too late me thinks
"Best lead out Man"
a bit of a surprise ,but
Any more votes for me on that one ?
unaccustomed as I am ..........
let's clarify this a bit for those not up with it.....Lord of Lingering repairs replaces most punctures because it isn't always a puncture that holds the ride up.......CAV Wannabe explained above.....Biggest poseur has been ably explained earlier.......best lead out rider goes to the one who does most work but doesn't get the glory at the finish...........and Nasty boy of the Year has to be for someone who doesn't mind the flack but enjoys stretching out a ride till it breaks or something equally heinous........that's about half the club when they feel the mood come on or are feeling fit on the day....if my memory serves me right.....so, gloves off and get down to the nominations for those in the frame.
can NOT be nasty boy of the year for me
2 weeks ago he kept dropping back to collect me for the storm
So it is not true what you all say about him
CAV wannabe is fair enough though !
Our local farmer is always hanging on the back
can tell you every 100 yards which wheel he will be on
and is "mildly competitive"
CAV Wannabe
Any for best lead out man ?
Mark Constable has been there a few times
( before he was promoted )
Geoff used to be
but just gets dropped by the nasty boys these days
Let me think
PS - that white sign you were refering to James, if I recall, was an incorrect finish line ( a garage sign as opposed to a village/town sign), so I clearly sat up early... ;-)
Managed to beat James on the Sprint a couple of times as lead out man though, perhaps that disqualifies me?
Jon
He bust that many blood vessels on the front ( and lost )
had to let him win a couple
it was embarrassing ( even for me )
Besides lead out for several miles and still win
respect
only Dave Swain in his prime could do that !
"Best Lead Out" definately for Jon
