2021
With the prospect of restricted travel between regions this year a very real probability, our little club will be one of very few in the UK which has no near neighbour to share matches with, our nearest hubs being Scotland, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester which all have a few clubs within their borders. Should local restrictions be eased enough to allow us to resume racing sometime before 2022 we really do need to reach new talent in our region, and we know there is plenty of it locally involved in other forms of cycling.
We are a small group of diehard enthusiasts who have invested a lot in time, money and energy since reviving the Sport here in 2011 but have not yet managed to reach a wide enough audience to boost our numbers, most North East youngsters perhaps understandably preferring football to racing bikes. Unfortunately there isn't enough opportunity for every youngster to play football or indeed any other sport at high level, and that is where Cycle Speedway scores heavily. There are around 30 clubs nationally with between a handful and 50-plus active members, and because it is an International sport with the hotspots being Poland, Australia and GB there is huge potential for good riders to represent their country and themselves at European and World Championship level in both team and individual competition, from the age of 6 upwards. You can get an idea of it here: https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/getintocyclespeedway?c=SX. Stay safe.
Please keep an eye on this site for potential restart dates and feel free to try our bikes at Craml;ington Sporting Club. See also our Facebook pages at

We sincerely hope you can find some peace and respite from a highly forgettable 2020 and that sporting activities can get back to something like normal in 2021. We would love to see a whole raft of new riders coming along to try our super little Sport, which while having no direct comparison to other mainstream cycling disciplines is the one we think provides the most exhillerating and challenging experience for old and young alike. We welcome boys, girls, ladies and gentlemen any age from around 6 upwards. See you then!
Unfortunately 2020 was a total loss for us and most of the other UK clubs due to the Cov-19 pandemic.
We did stage a short series of socially-distant and Covid-safeTuesday evening training sessions but were unable to organise anything further than that, and like everyone else had to cancel the handful of fixtures we had planned. With luck 2021 will be somewhat more normal than this year and we can get back into action.
Should that happen as hoped, expect to see us entertaining more youth and community groups here as well as school visits. All will be welcome. Training is by fully trained British Cycling and highly experienced Club coaches. We'd love to see you.
