CHAMBER members were

out in force supporting the

StreetVelodrome event, which was

praised as busiest of the series.

Worthing and Adur Chamber

members including haulage firm

Sussex Transport and Electronic

Temperature Instruments (ETI) were

headline sponsors at the event, so

we asked for their feedback as to

the value of supporting these types

of events.

A spokesman for ETI said: “As

a Worthing-based business we

believe sponsoring local events

supports both the community and is

a great opportunity to promote our

business.

“Our cycling team thought the

Street Velodrome was a great new

experience – it was also good to

see the public of all ages getting

involved riding the track. We hope it

will be back next year.”

Sussex Transport was delighted

to be one of the key sponsors,

commenting: “We took two of

our brand new Mercedes Actros

lorries to the event, which were a

real crowd puller – and there was

a constant queue of interested

spectators waiting to climb into the

huge vehicles all weekend!

“This was especially of interest

to cyclists and allowed members

of the public to get a lorry drivers

view of the world – as well as photo

opportunities for proud parents!”

Worthing was praised for drawing

the largest audiences to date when

the inaugural visit of the Asda

StreetVelodrome Series landed in

Beach House Grounds.
