Behind the scenes

The Velodrome, with all its razzamataz and supersonic rainbow beclad bike riders riders runs like clockwork most of the time. But sometimes when things go wrong its the Velodrome engineer that puts if all right in a micro-jiffy.

Here right from the Velodromes first pour of concrete and seeing to the twiddly bits when they need a special twiddle, Climbing on the roof sorting it out after bits blow awry in a storm and then up to his arm-pits in unmentionables is Paul Hardy.

Paul is the main man to see when you need a little washer or something as he's bound to have one in a drawer or, failing that, sure to have a catalogue that lists one. Yeahey, what would we do without him??

Helping with all the lifting, painting, sawing, moving to and fro, driving fork-lifts and genrally getting things ready are Damien and Simon.

Oops, that not them me thinks. Will get a snap of the Boys soon
