Mick Pepper sadly passed away on Sunday 27th July. Earlier this year he had moved to a home near his family so the funeral is being held in Pershore, Worcestershire. Mick was a well-known figure in the local cycling community especially if you were involved in time-trialling.

Some of the club knew Mick Pepper as he was a member of IBC early on.

As Pershore is too far for most to travel, a local event is being held in Martlesham showing the live funeral.

This local event is hosted by Wolsey RC but open to all clubs as Mick was known across clubs.

We NEED to keep an idea of numbers for catering (and possibly the hall) so please emphasize that they need to email [secretary@wolseyroadclub.co.uk](mailto:secretary@wolseyroadclub.co.uk) if they are attending. Details of the dervice are in the enclosed notice Mick Funeral Details

It is important that the event attracts as many members as possible, from all disciplines within the club to allow votes to be taken, roles adopted and decisions made.
