The Herne Hill Revival event this Sunday 13th May.

Vintage racing and stuff is taking place at  the Herne Hill Revival event this Sunday 13th May.

As well as racing there will be a cycle jumble, beer tent and displays
of classic marques of bicycle.
The circuit will be open from 9.00am but other clubs will be using the
track in the morning. Please don't arrive too early as it annoys the
locals! There will be a lot of off-track happenings during the day
including a cycle jumble, displays by some of our marque enthusiasts,
trade stands and a beer tent.

Race programme:

Entrance to the venue is free but there will be a one-off race entry fee
of £4 to cover the cost of insurance levies (at cost).
This will allow you to enter as many races as you wish. The races are
organised by the VHC&RC.

Please note parking within Herne Hill is limited to those who are
competing in the races, displaying machines or who have a jumble stall.
We hope to have additional parking available at a nearby school and also
that some people will be able to cycle or use public transport.
