Our annual charity ride and Michael Rosam memorial ride

This year we will be supporting the Cornwall Mind charity
Donations to the charity are very welcome - we now also accept card payments as well as cash and you can also donate to the justgiving page.
Here is a little info on the work Cornwall Mind do:
Affiliated to Mind the national charity, Cornwall Mind is an independently registered and funded charity dependent on fundraising and donations, to continue our vital work in the community. Every penny we receive stays in Cornwall to help support better mental health in our local communities. All our services are free and available to anyone over 18 that might benefit. People can self-refer, you don’t need a diagnosis and we aim to be in touch within 2 weeks of receiving a completed referral form (available on our website). We just want people to feel healthier and happier. We also help to fight stigma and raise awareness of mental health in the county. Every penny donated stays in Cornwall and helps to fund our recovery focussed wellbeing groups – we offer between 30-50 a month – so that no one has to face a mental health problem alone. Your support makes a difference and for that, we could not be more grateful.
We also use this event to remember our dear friend Michael Rosam:
"Mike was a member of the Penzance Wheelers, a good friend and a regular on our weekday rides. Last autumn, not far from Praze an Beeble, whilst on one of our weekday rides he suffered a massive heart attack and despite receiving prompt CPR and the speedy arrival of the emergency services, he did not survive. Mike was an enthusiastic all weather rider and is missed by us all”..
It would be great to see as many cyclists as we can come and join us. Previous years we've had cyclists from all areas of the sport, from racers, club cyclists, ebikers, off roaders - it doesn't matter you'll all be welcome!
We will run these rides under Cycling UK Guidance for youth cyclists joining social club rides
The minimum age for unaccompanied children on any ride or event is 13 years old. Children aged 13 to 17 years old may participate unaccompanied if they have parental permission and a signed Parental Consent form. The ride leader will decide is they think the criteria has been met to allow joining in the ride.
There is no lower age limit if accompanied by a responsible adult acting in loco parentis, but a signed Parental Consent form is still needed - please hand in your signed form to the ride leader on the day of the ride.
It is important that groups and clubs make sure that parents or guardians understand the following points:
• the demands of the cycling activity and that they alone can make the decision about the ability of their child to complete it;
• that the child may cycle with other adults and/or with other children, but that there is also a possibility of the child cycling on its own (for example with treasure hunt events);
• that while Cycling UK extends a welcome to cyclists of all ages and abilities, no special provision for children is made;
• arrangements to get to and from the event are the sole responsibility of the parent or guardian; and
• that DBS checks may not have been done on event organisers or ride leaders (in accordance with legislation).
Cycling UK, its members, agents and other participants may take photographs during the course of an event, mostly for private use but some may be for local or national publicity purposes. It may be difficult to ensure that photographs in which your child appears will not be used in any way. If you have concerns about this please speak to the ride leader or event organiser.

Penzance wheelers AGM
Minutes for the AGM of Penzance Wheelers Cycling Club
27/03/2026
Apologies: Andrew McPherson, Andy Williams, Joanna Keverne, Ian Pye, Janet Pye, Jon Fazakerley, Kay Fazakerley, Tristan Harris, Lloyd Peters, Andrew Davey, Sean Cattran, Pete Blackshaw, Holly Tregear, Phil Nevin.
Committee Members Present: Jon Butt, Beth Berriman, David Goodrich, Stuart Hunter, Mike Tonkin, Mark Travis, Sarah Tregear.
Ordinary Members Present: Martina Geraghty, Martin Hagger, Darren Rundell, John Rogers.
Chairpersons Report: 2025 has again seen the club put on some well received events supporting the growing reputation the club has not only in the region but wider afield.
In June we hosted two Audax events seeing a field size in excess of 150 riders - we had a 10 page section in the Audax Arrivee magazine and also raised £700 for charity.
Earlier this year we also hosted a ride and talk with the incredible Sarah Ruggins - world record holder for LEJOGLEJOG - which saw 60 odd riders join us for the event.
Sarah is about to take on a cross Europe record breaking challenge - again the feedback from everyone was very good and we’re hoping to work with Sarah on a future event. The club kindly subsidised a lot of the costs for this event.
As mentioned in previous meetings the response from club members attending these events has not been as high as anticipated - the club is always interested in putting on events for club members and the wider cycling community and it’s important that all club members have their say about what the club is doing.
This year has seen an influx of new members, which is great to see - and our regular club rides are well attended and well organised thanks to everyone that is involved in this, However It would be really good to have more members from these social rides on the committee to make sure they are represented. We are also delighted to see a youth member now - in Holly Tregear!
Our annual Tour of Penwith charity ride - again hosted by Mark and Joanne Travis was again one of the highlights of the year and we raised £2300 - which is incredible.
Website & social media traffic
As a guide for the past 30 days the website received 512 unique visitors (this month is down 45% from the previous month - and slightly down on last year for same period we had 660 last year)
Sources compared to last year
Direct 51% (last year 36%)
Social 25% (last year 34%)

Treasurers Report: Mark shared details of the clubs finances.
Mark explained that the biggest outgoing was the donation we gave to Wheal Velocity, but that the origin of this money was from the Cog fund when it was disbanded, and not from membership fees. Other outgoings were awards evening, which have been cheaper in recent years, and the Sarah Ruggins event.
He commented that the role of treasurer has become easier since the use of online banking.
Membership Secretary Report: David reported that, at the time of the meeting, we have 92 members. He explained that some members have found the updated British Cycling website harder to use to renew membership. Mark commented that he checks direct debit payments to the club, and sends names over of those who have paid to David, so they can be updated on the membership database.
Social Secretary Report: Mike has organised the pasty and breakfast rides and also a curry evening. He intends to organise another curry night in possibly April.
Martin reminded us that there had also been a fish and chips ride which had been enjoyed!
Beth had organised awards evening but had been unable to attend, so thanked those who helped on the evening. She went on to say that, if members would like a different format for awards evenings, they were welcome to suggest ideas, moreover that finding a new speaker for the evening is challenging. Mike remarked that he enjoyed the talk by Becks and Colin Campbell at the evening. Martina concurred but questioned the need for a speaker at the evening.
Beth finally mentioned the Christmas lights ride finishing at The Star as a highlight last year.
TT Report: Although we don’t have a club TT secretary Jon Butt is currently overseeing this (we really do need someone to help with this going forward).
The club members were very well represented at time trials and other competitive events during the season - the awards evening saw a few different club members receive awards for their achievements.
This year starting on April 28 the club will be running a series of 10 x 4 mile time trials on alternate Tuesday evenings - please see club website for details - and please do come and have a go! And if you can help run them even better. The course has been picked to reduce the need for marshals and a lot of signage - we will need someone at the start and finish for setting riders off and timing. Racers will sign up on the line, not in advance, and cost will be only £5.
Kit Officers Report: LLoyd was unable to attend the meeting so Jon gave an update.
We have sold out of some sizes of the last Endura kit order that we had in Dec 2024. Lloyd is currently talking with new supplier Kalas about topping up some sizes that are now sold out, likely more M and L jerseys initially. The jerseys will have the same design. Mark reminded all that members could still purchase club kit online via NoPinz.

Jon commented that it would be helpful to have some more regular group riders on the committee and David and Beth agreed with this statement, from which followed a conversation regarding group rides. Those present were made aware of an incident involving a member riding into a pothole and coming off on a recent club run. David recalled discussions about group rides at previous meetings. He explains to new members that we do still have three groups at different speeds. Mike remarked that the groups are self selecting. Jon reminded us of previous suggestions for ride leader courses or chain gangs, if they were desired. Beth felt it tricky to discuss group rides at committee meetings, without those riders present.
A.O.B. Date for annual Tour of Penwith is 30th August this year we will supporting Mind Cornwall Charity - they have set up a justgiving page for the event.
Jon Butt is also working with Mind Cornwall and Katy Roberts (after talking at the Sarah Ruggins event) about running a 2 day gravel bike packaging ride taking on the West Kernow Way - event is planned for early October - details are being finalised.
Mark has been contacted by Andrew McPherson who would like to organise a marketplace style place for club members to sell and swap items to each other. This was well received and Mark will respond to Andrew to go ahead.
David expressed disappointment that more members had not attended the AGM. He went on to point out that not all members use Facebook and wondered if there were other suitable channels of communication. Beth said that we do have a Strava group page for members to join and post on, and that she can send emails to members on behalf of others, if provided with a suitable text.

AGM: Jon Butt announced that the club AGM will take place next month. Beth asked for suggestions for a suitable venue, Sarah commented that Ludgvan Community Centre may be cheaper than previously due to new management. Date and venue to be decided.
Cornish Cup : Jon explained that Ben Kent from IntoTri has taken on running the Cornish Cup time trial series. He went on to say that as of Dec 2024 - PZW was holding £199 from the Cornish Cup affiliation fees from the 12 clubs that took part in the series. He suggested that these funds are transferred to the new Cornish Cup organiser in order that awards can be given at the end of the 2026 season.
Club Time Trials : Jon said that he is planning to book in 10 club time trials using the course between Tremethick Cross and St Just. These will be held on a Tuesday evening through the summer. He said that he is waiting on the SW CTT committee to confirm the dates are ok. These will all be entry on the day only events and Jon would like to suggest we keep the entry fees as low as we can - probably a fiver and if we have a profit from these that it goes to fundraising for the 2026 pedals4patients.
Events: Jon gave the following report concerning recent club events. Firstly the reliability trials - the first of three events was this weekend past - we had about 40 riders take part - a lot of new faces joined the ride and I've had good feedback from lots of riders - the next event I will also run a 60km event.
Sarah Ruggins ride and talk saw about 60 people come to the talk - and about 50 do the ride - again response was really good and we are planning to get hold of Sarahs film to show at Newlyn, Special thanks to Sarah Tregear, Josef, Mark, Scott and my wife Susan how all helped out on the day. The club heavily subsidised the event - we can work out costs and income from the event,
Note - we've had really positive responses from non club members for these two special events and it seems these types of group rides are building a community of cyclists outside of the club - it does feel like the uptake from club members for these types of events and rides is not as high as I would have expected - I'm not sure what the reason is for this and whether this is something we need to address so we can encourage more club members to get involved if they want to - with the AGM planned for next month I think it's essential that we have more representation from the wider membership of the club so that we can make sure the club is offering things for its membership - not just things the few of us that are happy to organise want to do.
The Audax events on June 28th are now live on Audax UK - last year there were over 150 entrants (only 5 Wheelers)
I'm talking with Katy Roberts and the Cornish MIND charity about helping to organise a charity ride in memory of Katy's father and to raise awareness and money for the MIND charity - I'd like to run this as a Wheelers event so we can use the Cycling UK organisers liability - date and type of event will be confirmed soon. Mark suggested that this could be incorporated into the annual prostate ride.
Club kit : Jon reported that more kit was required as there are no more medium men’s jerseys. He suggested seeing if Kalas could supply us with kit.
A.O.B. David described some members finding difficulty rejoining via the new look BC website. Beth concurred but said she had found the website easier to navigate on a laptop. Matt Southam suggested pub club nights could restart and said that some members were already meeting on a Wednesday night at The Star Inn in Crowlas. David also suggested the club could look at communicating and promoting rides on an app called Spond and Andy said he had looked into the app too.
Reliability trials are usually a fixed distance event that has to be completed within a certain time - they are not a race.
