Do you have any old photos, entry books, race results or history of the Wangaratta Cycling Club stored in old shoe boxes on the top shelf of the shed or the bottom of the wardrobe?  

If so we would like a copy for the website and our records.

For further information, please contact Dean McDonald through WCC "Contact Form" tab.

Thanks must go the Charlie Larkins & Pete Simpson for supplying approximately 30 images and history to the Club           (I will try put them all on this page over the next couple of weeks)
