I trust you all have had a wonderous Easter and are in truly good spirits, if so please join the anticipated throngs of spectators at Beckworth School’s 17th century velodrome this afternoon… For today it is the annual cycle race meeting of the institution’s alumni. The usual highlight of the afternoon, The Class of 1942′s “Penny Father’s competition”, has been cancelled as there are no living survivors of the class, but in it’s place we have a new nail-biting contest. The Class of 1952′s “Penny Father’s competition”. We are expecting about a dozen old boys and masters to ride their vintage high-wheeler Penny Farthing bikes, all aiming to win the inaugral Rt Hon Alvin “Toffee Smuggler” Lewes Cup. Don’t forget this school holiday there are track days at the velodrome for all of the school’s alumni, so come on down. Yours Sir T.T. “Wonky” Windsor. President. Beckworth School Old Boys
