SESCC notes from the past

South Elmsall Social Cycling Club was formed in 1934.

Algy Dawson was one of the founding members, he was on a cycling holiday in Wales with other cycling club members when the second world was started they came home as quickly as possible and were soon on active service.

After the war a silver trophy dedicated to members who fell in the 1939/45 war was presented to the club.

Other members from that era were; Harry Hewitt, James Albert Womack, Bill Nicholson, Fred Warsnop, Tommy Butler, Harold Turner, & James Pratt.

Later members of note included; Arthur & Eddie Wright, Mr. Peter Steel, Colin Beardsley, Vera & Robert Simpson, Keith Sharman, Geof. Rodgers, Peter Stirk, Jill Reams nee Bishop, Mirvyn Wright, Ron & Bas Swales, Harold Reynolds, Ken Scott, John Martin, Stuart Burrows, and Richard Watson.

Early in 2015 South Elmsall Social Cycling Club was disbanded as most of the members were now quite elderly. Remaining club funds were donated to charity.

Here are some notes with donated photographs from the cycling club history;
