club and his two periods as club President. Just one other occasion was a 3-4
weeks holiday in Mauritius in 2006 in celebration of his 50th Wedding Anniversary
on 5th May.

I got to know Barry initially when we became colleagues in the PCA (Professional
Cycling Association, formally the BPCRA). Barry was Chairman and I the Sponsors’
Representative (later Vice Chairman).

Working together provided an insight into the high standards he set for
everything associated with professional cycle racing, coupled with fairness and
support for all involved, riders, officials and sponsors.
He will be missed by many of our colleagues in the club and the former members
of his Bantel Professional Cycle Racing Team.

Rest in Peace Mr.Trundle – Barry Brandon.

To All Pickwickians

Joe the Fat Boy did a marvellous job with the magazine over the
past 10 years, but one of his biggest struggles was getting enough
content to fill the pages. Over that period, and because of his close
involvement with other sectors of cycling and its history he was
able to dig deep into his own personal bicycling archives and publish
material to keep us entertained.

Unless you want to see pictures of me on my tri-cycle when I was
three years old, or on my track iron at Herne Hill on a Wednes-
day evening in my late teens (neither of which are a pretty sight!)
please send me copy or pictures of cycling interest or memorabilia,
and then everyone can share them.
I am the new editor, and I need to build up my own archive of use-
ful cycling content, but that won’t happen overnight. So, as I said in
my Editorial page, it’s your magazine and as the local bobby on the
beat once said to “Let’s be having you then”.

Closing date for next issue end of July 2014
