Members may have noticed in the Tuesday 5th edition of HBToday, that a new proposal has been made to Hastings Council regarding the development of a velodrome, this time for an outdoor one. The article was mistaken in it's reference to Ramblers as having put the proposal forward.
Ramblers, as it always has been, is interested in the development of a velodrome in the Hawkes Bay region. However, this proposal has been developed by HB Velo, a separate entity to which Ramblers has had a long-term relationship with. HBVelo was the driving force in the last bid for an indoor velodrome. Ivan Aplin is a Rambler, but in this instance was speaking in his capacity as an executive member of the HB Velo committee.
Ramblers does, however, look forward to finding out how we can support HB Velo in the pursuit of a local velodrome.
