John Pinkerton Memorial Publishing Fund
The Publishing Trust Fund was set up in memory of John Pinkerton who died in 2002. The objective of the Fund is to continue the publishing activities initiated by John - to publish historical material on the development of the cycle and all types of related activities. Items published include reprints of cycling journal articles, manufacturer's information e.g. catalogues etc. 

 New Book now available 

The Malvern Cycling Club 1883-1912

This is the first of a new series of short books which will complement the recently introduced Marque Albums and cover a wide range of cycling history topics. Roger’s thoroughly researched book gives a fascinating insight into the early development of club cycling and the conditions that the pioneers had to contend with. It attempts to explain why the club flourished in its early years and why it declined. Local newspapers, the cycling club’s handbooks and local directories provide the primary sources of information. The book is illustrated with photographs, advertisements from local newspapers and drawings of the period, has 148 printed A5 pages and is perfectly bound with an attractive coloured cover design.
