Future Events
s everybody is aware, the number of members attending events other than
the two main luncheons has been disappointing, so please make every effort to
Asupport some of these other exciting options during the year, and remember
this is a cycling club as well as for social gatherings. Your fellow members put in a
lot of hard work to organise the events, so the least we can do is to make that extra
effort to turn up- even if only as a spectator

Our President advises me that at the time of preparing this edition

of this exciting spectacle, so members, with members’ wives,
partners, mistresses whomsoever you care to bring don’t delay and
apply for tickets.
