2021 THE REMEMBRANCE DAY RACE: (12/12/2021) Presented by - Clancy Motors Bathurst & Isuzu UTE Australia ..
The annual Bathurst Cycling Club “Remember Them” Trophy was held on the weekend. This trophy is very stately silver cup in honor of the fallen Bcc Members who gave their life in the World Wars. Each year the race for the cup is scheduled for Remembrance Day but in 2021 the race was postponed due to rain and was run on the weekend (12/12/2021).
Besides holding the Trophy Race; each year at event the club announces a Bathurst Cycling Club member from World War 1 who will be honored in the following year’s Anzac Day Memorial Event, (with the club naming the Anzac Day event after a club member that served in World War 1).
In 2022 we plan to honor Mr A Bosworth, a regular racer with the Bathurst Cycling Club before World War 1 including some of the major endurance events. Serving at Gallipoli before being killed in Action in France; Sadly Lance Corporal Arthur Bosworth leaving a Widow and 2 children in Bathurst.
