We fully support a BMX track in Penzance.
30 years ago we approached our then local council to provide a BMX track facility for the local youngsters as we could see there was a growing need for this. The local council then were absolutely no help whatsoever.We will always be grateful to a local builder who loaned us a piece of land to build one of the first BMX tracks in the country.This track facility was enjoyed by over 200 members of The West Cornwall BMX Club who had many national and international successes and also included a visit by the top USA BMX team of which one was a world champion.
We always knew that one day the land would have to be used for building and is now a very nice housing estate.We'll always be indebted to the kindness of Mr.Peter Richardson for the opportunity to provide the local youngsters with a safe and healthy way to enjoy themselves.I hope, more than 30 years down the line you have more success with our current local council who will see the benefit of this much needed facility.
