Gazette

The Gazette is distributed by post on a quarterly basis and is free to members.  It is produced from contributions by the members, who appear to have plenty to say because the magazine usually runs to at least 40 pages.

In addition to articles, letters to the editor and snippets of news, it also gives details of the Association's activities with Dates for your Diary and Results pages.

Sales and Wants are advertised for members free of charge, but any non member wishing to advertise will be charged a fee of £5.00.

At the Tricycle Association Annual General Meeting on October 26 2008 it was agreed that the dates for copy for the Gazette should be changed to give a more even distribution over the year. The deadlines for copy will be:

Spring 2010 Tuesday March 23, 2010
Summer 2010 Tuesday June 22, 2010
Autumn 2010 Tuesday September 14, 2010
Winter 2010 Tuesday December 7, 2010

As a rough guideline for members, It takes about a fortnight after the deadline to prepare the Gazette for publication, send the copy to the printer, and check and return the proofs. A further fortnight at least is needed for printing and distribution. Early copy is always much appreciated. Regional Secretaries need to be aware of the time-scale when sending in dates for events.

Readers should receive their copy of the Gazette about a month after the deadlines, so the Spring 2010 edition should be in the post in mid-April. Would Regional Secretaries please let us have the Dates for the Diary for the year to publish in the Winter 2010 edition, if possible? Outline information for events later in 2011 will be sufficient. It can be added to in later editions. Copies of these dates to the Webmaster would also be appreciated.

Articles for the Gazette may be submitted in any format ie handwritten, typed, e-mail etc.    All are welcomed by the Editor and can be sent by post or by e-mail to
