Our race promotions have been numerous over the years. In the early days we promoted about 6 races a year, but later we concentrated more on major events, especially Garth Staden's promotions which have gone from strength to strength since the Butler Cycles Junior G.P. in 1990, 91, 92 and 95 and then the National Junior Championship in 1993 an 1994. In 1996 he organised the Arun Cycles GP National Under 23 Championships followed by the Havant GP Premier Category Race in 1998, 1999 and 2000 when it was promoted in International UCI status. Havant Borough Council have been the main sponsor in recent years, who have done a wonderful job in endeavouring to support cycle racing. Other races that we have promoted over the years included the Wessex Divisional Championships in 1987, the Tour of the South Downs 3 Day from 1978 to 1986 and revived in 1991. The Hayling Diving Services R.R. an excellent end of season event over the tough Rowlands Castle - Chichester - Midhurst - Harting - West Marden course. This was run under the same sponsorship for 19 years from 1976 to 1994.
