Between 1988 and 1991 we had one of the largest Junior squads around, many from the Isle of Wight (my roots). A category which is almost non existent nowadays. Of these Chris Redhead, Mark Staden, Sean Hodges, Graham Childs, Gareth Smith, Phil Phillips and Eddie Collins turned out to be the best. We have had strong contingents of Juveniles at Goodwood with Tim Connel winning overall in 1994, and Kevin Harman repeating this in 1997.

The club received a huge boost in 1989 when we became sponsored by Butler Cycles. This arrangement continued for 6 years, which is pretty good compared with some sponsorships. Our next sponsorship with Arun Cycles only lasted 2 years but probably could have been more successful had they not had financial problems at the time.
