The Club Website

How many members are aware of the Pickwick Bicycle Club website? How many check
the website for updates?

Here is a reminder of the header (banner) that appears on the Home page. Below this
is a row of ’hot spot’ buttons which lead to a number of interesting pages containing
news, history, events, photos and many other items.

The Home page contains links to ‘Recently added/updated’ items. The other seven
buttons, headed ‘Charles Dickens, Activities, Uniform, Sobriquets, Trophies, History
and Current Officers’, have drop-down menus (except Uniform, Sobriquets and
Trophies) leading to more pages.

If you haven’t done so already, why not take a look at it now – you may be surprised.
Paste into your browser this address: http://www.pickwickbc.org.uk, sit back, and enjoy!
Happy reading!

Here is a short sample from the ‘Uniform’ page:

The History of the Club Uniform of the Pickwick Bicycle Club

There were a number of changes to the uniform over the years as cycling wear
became less formal. The December 1967 Minutes makes reference to the
boaters worn by some members and that it was hoped that all members
would consider wearing the club uniform at future functions.
In 1973 Mr. Knockemorf submitted the following proposition.

That as from and including the 1973 Garden Party any member of the Pickwick
Bicycle Club attending the Club’s luncheons without the club uniform of a straw boater
with Club band and tie shall contribute the sum of 50 pence to a charity to be named
by the President in office .
