Information on Frank Syred required
I have received the following email (below). Can anyone give me the details to put these people in touch with Frank Syred - Lisa
Hi there, my father in law, Peter Phillips was a member of the Balham Cycling Club in 1950 and was junior time trial champion. He is keen to get any information and contacts on the club and we have helped with some research. We uncovered the article on Frank Syred and he is keen to contact him. Could you advise if he is still alive and if so how we could forward on a letter written by my father in law?
Do you have any additional information on the club, any contact details that would hold the records etc. Mr Phillips is now 75 and is very keen to revisit some of his past, and I do hope you can help.
regards,
Debbie

Ding Day
Ding Day
Creating a harmony around Londons’ cycling community
Wednesday 10th September will see London ring out to the sound of the bicycle bell on the first annual Ding Day – A celebration for the cycling community in London.
On this day London will become a joyful and happier city for cyclists, streets will ring to the sound of the bicycle bell. With every cyclist welcome and openly encouraged to participate, all that’s needed is a bike and a bell. There is no main event on the day, it runs all day whenever you are in the saddle on Ding Day.
The concept is simple:
On Wednesday 10th September whenever you see another cyclist you give a little ‘ding ding’ on your bell, and they will return your greeting with another ‘ding ding’.
The idea behind Ding Day:
To create a fun experience for cyclists and locals in and around London, with the hope of creating more of a sense of community amongst fellow cyclists, including commuters, parents, children, basically any cyclist young or old. It’s free and open to everyone.
It is a celebration of cycling as one of the most environmentally friendly, healthy and almost certainly quickest way of getting aroud our great city.
