History of The Pedaller

The Pedaller magazine is now in it's 24th year and the first slim 20-page A5 booklet appeared Mid-Summer 1983, created by the Brighton Group on behalf of the CTC West Sussex. It was typed and copied by St. Giles Centre for the Physically Handicapped with hand-written adverts, all for the price of 20p. For the second edition, the services of The Brighton Print Centre were employed and many more changes occurred during it's lifetime until it reached it's present format.

The first editor was Ted Axford and then later, in the hands of Percy Copp, it grew steadily and permission was obtained to use Frank Patterson's sketches starting with the cover of No. 15, Spring 1987. The Pedaller had become the magazine of the CTC West Sussex and represented the views and activities of all of the sections.

A few more changes of editor occurred before Alex Rothney took up the baton and established a magazine of interest and integrity. He produced The Pedaller for ten years before eventually retiring from the post.

Then the future of the magazine became uncertain for a few months before I accepted the post and now, it is hoped it will continue for another twenty or so years. In order to promote local artists and West Sussex, the cover now carries sketches of West Sussex localities starting with some of my own on No. 80, Autumn 2003. Artwork from all members are very welcome as well as any articles in any form(see below for details). Increases in production and printing costs have resulted in the present price of 70p per copy(CTC members) but you now get a very informative quarterly magazine full of interesting articles and information for your money!

The Pedaller magazine is the platform for members of all of the West Sussex CTC to air their views, to write about their exploits, to contribute artwork and to generally communicate with each other. The A5-sized magazine is produced quarterly and also contains a full detailed runslists for the following three months. It is a non-profit making production and printing costs are covered by subscriptions and advertising.
