Herne Hill generalR

The Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome have organised an evening of roller racing and auction action in aid of the Herne Hill Velodrome Trust and Rollapaluza Outreach at Canary Wharf, London, on Thursday March 21.

The free-to-attend 'Spring Opener' evening will include a static bike racing competition, a charity auction and raffle, and special celebrity guests.

Further details and a full list of items up for auction/raffle can be found on the FHHV website.

Chair of the Herne Hill Velodrome Trust, Hillary Peachey said: "Herne Hill Velodrome is part of this country's sporting history and we believe strongly that it should continue to serve people in the community as it has done since Tommy Goodwin won two bronze medals on this very track in 1948."

"These events make a huge difference to our campaign through funding and awareness. Every little bit really does help in our fight to keep Herne Hill Velodrome open to the public."

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
