Over the last week or so, Jason and I have started work on the workshop. I have spent the week cutting up insulation blocks and stacking the timber for the ceiling, while Jason has been resourcing units and other odds and ends.

All of the timber for the roof has arrived and is now taking up most of the work-space; hence, the workshop is out of action for big projects until the timber goes up. most of the insulation is cut and ready to go up. The timber is precut but will still need some fitting to go round various things, like the drops for the bike hangers.

As soon as I have some photos, I will put them up.

See you all soon!

Alaric.

Due to the high demand, the workshop is staying open for September but will close in October for essential works. Again, should you need work done in October, let us know and we will pre-book you in.

The workshop is busy getting a classic racer up to modern(ish) standards. Photos to follow.

The work shop will be closed for the whole of September for refurbishment. If you have an emergency, then please contact us through [email protected] and we may still find a slot for you.

The workshop was supposed to have closed during the Olympic and paralympic period but work increased in the time, so it was kept open. However, urgent works need to be undertaken and, as a result, the workshop will need to be closed for the month. Photographs will follow!

Just a short note to remind everyone that during the Olympics and the Paralympics, there will be only very limited opening hours. During that time, we hope to improve the workshop and will be on call for various Olympic events (coaching/seeing it/etc.). Please check out the availablility page or email me for more details. Many thanks and enjoy the Olimpics!

Betty Bicycle has joined the team! She is our entry in to Capel's annual Scare Crow Competition.

Two years ago we did a sub-aqua diver, last year the Scary Crow; this year's entry is named after a fameous female cyclist - can you name her?

Great news - we are in the middle of the procession! Make sure you are there! Silly costumes, lycra and silly bikes welcome!

For those who want to take part in the parade - please be at the farm opposite Capel Primary School by 12 midday! We have produced some flyers for the event! Bring the kids for the Bicycle Gymkhana and have a go on the Tandem of Doom!

Breaking News!!!! Capel Fete Committee have accepted the request to have a cycling comp on the Rec! There will be a cycling skills test & prizes! There will be a slalom and "ball pick up", as well as many other challanges!

Just a reminder: Everyone is out of the workshop for the 2012 Hop Garden Festival for the entire weekend (29 th June to 1st July). Why not join us? Tickets are still available.

If you are going and see any of us wandering around, come and say hello! Lots of people are going from Five Oak Green, so it is just an extension of the Capel Fete!
