In 1980 13 team members rode in a 600 mile marathon along Southend Sea-front, braving driving wind and rain, to raise cash for Rochford Hospital. The Concorde Plant Hire sponsored club began their marathon at 1.00am on a Saturday morning, and raised the grand total of £1,500. A cheque for £750 was handed over to the Rochford Hospital by The Mayor Councillor Bill Bowyer at the Concorde Plant Hire headquarters in Comet Way. The rest will go towards the Eagles new track at Waterside Farm. Unfortunately one of the Eagles, namely Peter Brookes, ended up in the hospital itself when his front lamp came adrift in the conditions, entangling itself in the front wheel, and throwing him over the handlebars. He was taken to the hospital by a passing motorist, where he had stitches inserted into a nasty head-wound.
Moved to a new track at Waterside Farm Sports Centre on Canvey Island in 1981, changed their name to Castle Point CSC.
