Hastings & St .Leonards Cycling Club Archive

14 August Club event results and pictures

I have now added the results for the club event on 14 August 2024 and a picture of Justine Kelly who has just recently started racing

1981 Information

I have now completed the upload of the 1981 information from the first of four folders (8/8/2024). If you notice any oddities please let me know

Added Updates Page

I have now added an Updates/News page which will clean up the front page and maintain a record of what has been going on.

Database Update

I need to amend the underlying structure of the database to make the updating, search function and data validation more effective. When I started out I had no idea that the archive would be quite so large and this makes cross checking all the data complicated.

The only problem with this is that it may have some unintended consequences - a minor change this morning crashed the results page and any other pages linked to the results data. I hope I have fixed it but let me know if you spot any oddities - basically if a page fails to load.

More Photographs

Paul Wright has kindly sent me 44 images of the club racing in various events between 1990s and 2000s. I am slowly processing them.

I am researching the photographs to find events etc so for example I have extracted the newspaper articles from 1991 to link to photograph of Mark Knowles in the 1991 National Junior Road Race

Web site and Data Update

I have just finished cleansing the Archive Data and also rebuilding the web pages to improve the functionality.

I will update the data and load the new pages over the next few days. You may notice a few "oddities" as the system settles down but hopefully the archive will be more useful as a result of the work.

Web site Page and Data Update

Tonight (20/9/2024) I am uploading a clean set of data to the archive as well as a complete set of web pages for both the desktop and mobile device sites.

I have tested the the new site but inevitably there will be some minor issues. If you have any problems or spot any oddities please email me at hastingsccarchive@gmail.com or message me via the  Archive Facebook Page .

Many Thanks

Web site Page and Data Update #2

I have uploaded all the new pages and all the archive data (20:30 20/9/2024).

There is a problem with the mobile device redirect. This should be fixed. If the page looks weird then just reload, or navigate to another page.

I have fixed the initial problem with the sorting on the TT and Road Racing/Grass Track pages.

If you have any problems or spot any oddities please email me at hastingsccarchive@gmail.com or message me via the  Archive Facebook Page .

Many Thanks

Tim

Web site Page and Data Update #3

I am back to just adding data, and minor tidying.

Over the last few weeks I have scanned and uploaded a pile of result and start sheets for 1978 and 1979 from one binder and this has added over 300 results. It has also filled in a few blanks.

I am now working through another binder of general correspondence. This has corrected a few records. There is an interesting note from Jack Southerden of his times and gearing for the Wallingford Lane hill climbs from 1950 to 1963.

If you have any problems or spot any oddities please email me at hastingsccarchive@gmail.com or message me via the  Archive Facebook Page .

Many Thanks
