    New Trophies for those Ordinary Bicycles….
       At the AGM in December, our President revealed some new acquisitions of silverware for
    the Club.  With the assistance of the Marquis of Filletoville, these two trophies originating
    from 1910, were acquired when they appeared for sale and it seems that they are probably
    the oldest surviving cycling trophies in the Club’s possession.
                               Following  some  research,  the  President  established  that
                               Club  member  Sniggle  (Terry  Wright),  won  the  Grand  Old
                               Ordinary Challenge Cup every year between 1966-1970, well
                               before he became a member of our Club.
                               Sizeable  trophies  that  they  are,  one  wonders  where  they
                               have been for the past 50 years?


                               Since  their  arrival  into  our  custody,  our  President  and
                               Pruffle have been in deep discussion to decide where to hold
                               a race in future, to coincide with the Club anniversary ride
                               to take place every year in future.
