About
The North Tipp Wheelers Cycling Club was formed in 1987
The start of it all:
Notices were placed in the Nenagh Guardian and the Parish Newsletter calling on all those interested in cycling to attend a meeting at 8pm in the Hibernian Inn, Nenagh on the 3rd. February 1987.
As a result of this meeting the first committee was formed.

Chairman Michael Twomey
Vice-Chairmen Paddy Dunne

Secretary Peter Thornton
Ass. Sec. Liam Darmody
Treasurer Patricia Aherne
PRO Kevin McSherry
The name was continued from the previous club which finished in the mid-seventies.
The colours of the previous club were also adopted which were:
Royal blue with light blue sleeves and a red band.
These were soon changed to yellow and blue and in the early nineties to red and blue.
First membership fee was £2.
