Sussex Division officials agreed at the county AGM to stay in their present positions to ensure a smooth changeover when it merges with the British Cycling Federation's new South East Region in January.

Thirty six teams have entered the Lewes Wanderers 18-mile Veterans' Time Trial at Laughton on Sunday. Each team consists of a veteran rider and his pacer and it is the time of the veteran that counts.

The veterans have looked for speedy pacers. Phil Blagden (Crawley Wheelers) will be paced by Sussex 25-mile champion Steve Elms (In Gear).

Mark Jones (GS Stella) paces clubmate Eric Bonner and Steve Dennis paces his clubmate Ted Boorman (East Grinstead CC). The first team starts from Laughton at 9am.
