Treasurer Jo Phillips
Having my son to thank for opening my eyes to the wonderful (and very expensive!) world of cycling, I have been part of the club for the past nine years and can usually see me behind the counter of the cafe serving teas and cake but took on a more active role within the club as treasurer in 2010. Married to Ian, who is a paramedic (very useful! ) and who is one of the two cycling section Club Welfare Officers and is also a keen cyclist. We have three other sons, with two in the freewheelers . After sitting on the side watching for many years decided to buy a road bike and join in the fun. Try to get out on club rides when I can even tried Cross for a couple of seasons. You will see HACC is a real family affair for us and love the family atmosphere the club has.

Membership Sue Booth
I am married and live in Halesowen and I have been a member of the club for 8 years and on the committee for five years. Both my children Jess and Matt used to cycle at the club as freewheelers to begin with and then progressed as teenagers, Jess rode for Great Britain in the Ladies Tour of Holland and as a result of that is a life member of the club. She has been National Champion and European Champion twice in the 2K Pursuit discipline. I ride a bike for fun and have recently got into Mountain Biking which I also love.I work in the cycle industry too, so I count bicycle wheels in my sleep you could say.

Freewheeler Liaison Fraser Blain
My family joined Halesowen cycling in 2009 and we have grown to love our cycling. My children, Jamieson and Isla regularly train and compete for the club most weekends as Freewheelers. I have volunteered to be Freewheeler liason as I understand how difficult it can be to navigate through the challenges of such a complex but exciting sport as a beginner and parent. If I can help in any way or you want to voice anything constructive to the committee then please drop me a line.

Press Officer Keith Weavin
My cycling background is ten years racing from the age of 13 to 23. During which time I competed at Circuit, Road, Time Trials, Track and Cyclo Cross. As a Junior I finished seventh in the National Cross Championships, 6th Overall in the National Series and was first reserve to the National Team at the World Cross Championships. As a Senior rider I attained my First Category road licence. Since 1995 I have been enjoying my Mountain Biking and Road Riding in Coast to Coast Charity rides, cycling holidays in the French Alps and for the last four or five years I've been a regular Sunday rider on training rides with the Halesowen Road Team.

Committee Member Bruce Jones

Committee Member Tim Allen
I have been an enthusiastic cyclist for more than 20 years now having first really got the bug as a teenager after proudly purchasing my first mountain bike around age 16. Historically most of my riding has been on mountain bikes and I have dabbled a bit with racing; Cross Country MTB, Downhill and Endurance events. Around summer 2009 I made the switch over to skinny tyres after purchasing a road bike with the aim of a faster commute! I joined HACC at the start of 2011 having first got involved with the club through my daughter and the Freewheelers section during summer 2010 . In my rookie year on the track I somehow managed to bag the win in the B Category FNTL much to my own surprise, so I’m really looking forward to another exciting year on two wheels of all varieties for 2012.
