Keighley Transport Festival, ‘In Motion’, is happening on the 24th and 25th May 2020.
As part of the Festival, the History Society is putting on an exhibition called ‘Ten Tales of Transport’ in the Civic Centre. One of the tales we would like to tell is that of the various cycling clubs that were active in or around the town in the 1940s/50s/60s – clubs such as Keighley Road Club, St Christopher’s Cycling Club, Keighley Clarion Cycling Club, Aireworth Cycling Club, Keighley Velo Cycling Club, and Bronte Wheelers Cycling Club.
We are looking for people who can help us tell this particular tale with information and photographs about one or more of the clubs. If you can help, please comment below or come along to the special History Society meeting on 11th March (upstairs in Keighley Library from 7pm to 8.30pm where we shall have a scanner to take copies of documents or photographs).
Keep an eye on Facebook or our website as we make requests for help on other tales we wish to tell.
Tim, I am trying to trace a cycling club from Keighley with the initials R.C.H.G. I have a winner’s cup dated 1928-1929, and would like it to go to a historic society.
Hello. I’m afraid I’ve asked around and RCHG is not ringing any bells with anyone. Good luck in your hunt.
