THE AMATEURS

As a mark of respect to the memory of the late Lawrence Aldred, no races were held last week-end for riders of the Manukau Cycle Club. A service was held in memory of the late member at St. George’s Hall, Ranfurly Road, last Sunday morning. A good attendance of fellow-members paid their respects by taking part in the service.

The following is the programme for the ensuing year:—May 10, 22-mile handicap, 55- mile junior handicap.; May 17, 22-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; May 2*, 11-mile handicap, 11-mile junior handicap; May 31, 22-mile sealed handicap and timetrial, 55-mile junior handicap; June 7, 34-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; June 14. 17-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap: June 21, two laps Ihumatao block. 211 miles, 51mile junior handicap; June 28, 11-mile handicap, 11-mile junior handicap; July 5, 22-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; July 12, 17-mile handicap, 51-mile junior handicap; July 19, Papakura and back, 25 miles. 11mile junior handicap; July 26, timetrial and sealed handicap, 22 miles, 51-mile junior handicap; August 2, 11-mile championship, 51-mile junior championship, 22-mile open handicap; August 9, 17-mile handicap, 11-mile junior handicap; August 16, Tainaki circuit, 27 miles, junior time-trial and sealed handicap, 55 miles; August 23, 22-mile handicap, 51-mile junior handicap; August 30, 34-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; September 6, 17-mile handicap, 11-mile junior handicap; September 13, 28-mile handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; September 20, Auckland Provincial Championship, 50 miles; September 27, 11mile handicap, pl-mile junior handicap; October 4, 17-mile handicap, 11mile junior handicap; October 11, 100milo championship, Cambridge to Auckland; Octooer 18. 22-mile consolation handicap, 55-mile junior handicap; October 25, 55-mile open handicap, 11-mile junior handicap. It can be seen that the comprehensive programme which lias been drawn up has catered for all classes of pedallers. Whether the courses will have to be changed will depend upon whether the body concerned will allow the club to race over the usual course. With the professional body now racing away from the amateurs no difficulty should arise in obtaining the necessary sanction.
