Good Friday track meeting saved

After weeks of speculation, UK race organiser Graham Bristow has announced that an agreement with Dulwich Estates has been concluded, making available Herne Hill Velodrome to the Southern Counties Cycling Union in order to stage the Good Friday Meeting on March 25, 2005. With the uncertainty removed, Bristow is now working on getting the promotion of the event back on track.

However, he signals that the agreement between Dulwich Estates and SCCU is separate from the ongoing lease renewal negotiations, which still have to be concluded before the long term future of cycle racing at Herne Hill can be secured.
