CTT Update June 2020
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
This update relates to CTT events in England only. It does not relate to events in Wales or Scotland.
At the beginning of June, the Government relaxed the restrictions on social distancing. Whereas it is still not considered possible nor indeed appropriate to recommence CTT events as yet, it is anticipated that on or around 04 July the current restrictions may be relaxed further. In anticipation of that being the case, it is hoped that it may be possible to resume CTT events in July 2020.

Chairman's Message May 2020
A few brief words from the Chairman Wednesday 27th May 2020.
It’s been two months since we became locked down with the stadium closing and all events cancelled, although we are beginning to see the easing of lockdown from the Govt as the country cautiously moves slowly forward.
We are hoping that the Wheelers Committee can shortly arrange a virtual meeting so we can meet up online to share information and to discuss in advance how we plan to ease back and to get going again following COVID-19 protocol and BC guidelines.
