Formed in 1950 it still boasts two of its founding members.
Initially a touring club, quickly the members found a love
for racing, becoming the 'premier' club in Sussex. Many well
known names have passed through its ranks, such as Brian Phillips,
Steve Elms, Steve Dennis and of course Tour de France Yellow jersey
wearer Sean Yates, are still members today.
Sean with his brother
Christian started their cycling careers with EGCC before becoming professional.
Many members past and present gathered to celebrate the Clubs 50th anniversary
in January 2000 at East Court in East Grinstead.
The Club still enjoys success today with regular wins in time trial and road races.
It still has a reputation for well run events and promotes four open races as well as a
a full club evening competition. Together with regular social evenings and Sunday Clubruns.
