Tour of Britain - Wednesday 23 July 2014
Where to watch the Tour of Britain
Wednesday 23 July 2014
The route for the Wiltshire stage of the Tour of Britain has been announced and now spectators will be looking for the best spots to catch the action.
Wiltshire Council is working with the tour backers and local communities to provide the latest information as the county prepares to host one of the major sporting events of the year.
Stage 6 will see more than 100 of the world's top cyclists racing through the streets of Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Devizes and Pewsey and the villages along the 67.5km Wiltshire route.
Sir Bradley Wiggins was crowned champion last year and thousands are expected to line the roads through the county following the success of the Tour de France in Britain.
The Tour of Britain starts in Liverpool city centre on September 7 and will arrive in Wiltshire five days later as the riders tackle a 205.7km stage from Bath to Hemel Hempstead.
Stage 6 starts in front of Royal Crescent in Bath before heading into Wiltshire at Lower Stoke at around 10.40am.
The race continues along the B3108 before the crowds gathered at Bradford on Avon get their first glimpse of the riders on the A363 Masons Lane at just after 10.50am.
Spectators can watch the peloton in Silver Street and St Margaret’s Street before the teams head for Trowbridge along the A363 and are due to arrive on the outskirts of town at around 10.55am.
Bradford Road, Stallard Street and Bythesea Road will be closed as the cyclists speed through the town centre and onto Hilperton at around 11am.
The villages of Semington and Seend will become a blur as the peloton reaches speeds of more than 40kmh on the A361 before the next stop Devizes at 11.20am.
Soon the beautiful Vale of Pewsey will be the backdrop as the riders take first the A342 before turning onto the A345 and onto Pewsey itself, arriving in the town at around 11.50am.
The peloton will head out of town on the B3087 before finally turning onto the A338 and out of Wiltshire.
Jane Scott, leader of Wiltshire Council said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the county of Wiltshire to a global audience and we are delighted to host Stage 6 of the tour.
“The Tour of Britain is now one of the major cycling events in the world and the perfect event to continue to encourage people to enjoy the benefits of cycling following the success of the Tour de France in Britain.
“Since 2012, we have recognised the benefits of building a legacy in Wiltshire and we promote a number of beautiful cycling routes across Wiltshire for local communities and visitors to enjoy. We want to continue to boost the local economy and have a host of activities that encourage people to get more active and improve their health and wellbeing.
"I hope this major event will see communities getting involved, like they did when we welcomed the Olympic Torch in 2012, and that they will take the opportunity to showcase what makes them unique. We hope that school children and local people will line the streets and show their support for the cyclists as they pass through our county.”
The full list of roads used on the 67.5km Wiltshire section of Stage 6:
11.42am - B3108 Lower Stoke before heading along the B3108 Winsley Hill and Winsley Road.
10.51am - Bradford on Avon: A363 Masons Lane, Silver Street and St Margaret's Street before heading out of town along the A363 Trowbridge Road and through Widbrock Hill, Trowle and Cockhill.
10.57am - Trowbridge: A363 Bradford Road, Stallard Street and Bythesea Road before the A361 County Way and Hilperton Road and then B3105 Trowbridge Road.
11.02am - Hilperton: Devizes Road and A361 Trowbridge Road.
11.14am - Seend: A361 High Street, Seend Hill and Caen Hill.
11.23am - Devizes: A361 Bath Road, New Park Street, Gains Lane before A341 Nursteed Road and A342 Monument Hill, Andover Road in Chirton, Pewsey Road in Charlton and Rushall Road.
11.52 am Pewsey: A345 Salisbury Road and Church Street before out of town along the B3087 High Street, Milton Road and Burbage Road.

Loose Connection 14th to 28th June 2014
I am putting on with a group of like-minded friends a photographic exhibition in Salisbury.
We call ourselves 'The Loose Connection'
Please come along and have a look at some of our work. Fisherton Mill in Salisbury is an art gallery with an excellent café. The exhibition is upstairs. I hope you can make it.
I have used the artistic pseudonym 'Jeremy Roylance' - in fact just a shortened version of my full name, in case you were wondering …
To those who haven't the faintest idea who any of us are - I apologise for the intrusion - but please come to the exhibition anyway, if you can!

New Printer
Hi,
Just like to say a great big thank you to all the people who responded to
me
about their experiences with their printers. I was amazed at both the
quantity
of responses and the genuine desire to be helpful.
It became clear fairly quickly that Epson is the make of choice for most
people,
and also that some are still performing well even though they are a few
years old,
much as mine was.
It has filled me with the confidence to go out and buy Epson again.
Which one was recommended by most users?............. The R3000.
Nobody ever said that this was going to be cheap!!
Having done a bit (no, a lot, of research) there is one piece of advice
that I found out
purely by chance. It may be useful to others contemplating a similar
purchase.
To buy this from Amazon appeared to be over £100 cheaper than other
retailers, but
it didn’t include any ink!!! Assuming that you are going to need ink, too,
it is over £60
cheaper to buy from Epson themselves.
Buyer beware.
My thanks again to all respondents.
Phil.

Jack Whitemore
Jack Whitemore sadly passed away a few days ago. Jack was an ex-president of the federation and served on Council for many years as well as being a prominent judge on the circuit for many years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
There is to be a service to commemorate Jack’s life, this will be held at Wessex Vale Crematorium, Bubb Lane, West End, Southampton on Wed. 21st May at 3.15p.m.
Please no black ties - it was his wish.
Family flowers only please - donations in memory of Jack to F8, Stroke Ward, Southampton General Hospital, may be sent to Waterside Funeral Home, 13-15 The Marsh, Hythe, Hants. SO45 6AJ.
FROM THE WEST
Leave the motorway on the M27 at junction 7 sign posted Hedge End A334. Take the 1st Exit of the roundabout signposted Retail park industrial estate. Botley A334. At the 1st roundabout take the 1st exit. You will then need to go straight across the next 5 roundabouts whereby you will pass Currys and PC World on your left and Wicks on your right. After 300 yrds take your 1st left into Bubb Lane. Wessex Vale Crematorium is 100 yds on your right hand side.
Afterwards everyone is welcome to join the family at the Macdonald Botley Park Hotel, Winchester Rd, Boorley Green, SO32 2VA for light refreshments. Maps can be provided.
Victoria, his granddaughter, has suggested we have a ‘Memory Book’ there for people to record their ‘memory’ of Jack – humorous or otherwise. Please bring something with you, write it on the day or even later, but the book will then be something for the family to treasure and keep.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to write something for the book then please send to me and I will ensure it is passed onto the family.

New Printer
Hi,
Looking for some advice from fellow readers.
My printer has given up the ghost.
I've been used to Epson for the last 20 years, and I've looked at their range. If anyone has any experience of their A3 or A3+ models, I'd be delighted to hear your experiences and recommendations. If you have had a wonderful experience with printers from other manufacturers then I'd be delighted to hear about that too. And finally, if there is a model that you have had a nightmare with, and would advise me to avoid, then I'd like to hear from you too.
Please contact me by email, or through the club secretary if you don't have my address.
I will appreciate any help you can give me.
Many thanks
Phil.
