Not a history of Stourbridge Cycling Club
We have finally internetified, “Stourbridge Cycling Club 1964-1999” a book of observations written by John Cooper in 1999. In his own words, “it is not a history but just a snapshot of the ambitions, activities and concerns of the club during that period”
We hope you enjoy.
