Pickwick Bicycle Club Magazine. Volume 9 No.3 October 2012

informative speech on the design and construction of one of his vintage bicycles. We also heard
from Martin Guest ( guest of Pruffle ) on his recent charity cycle ride from London to Toulon France.
He raised over £6000 for Cancer Research UK and the charity collection at lunch raised another
£400 to go to his fundraising effort.

There were a number of trophies awarded, the Highgate bowl was
won by Hunt for his efforts in looking after the veterans (Ancients)
over the last five years. Graham Brown
( guest of Hunt) won the Dr. Payne
trophy for allowing himself to be bullied
into riding the veteran route. Brent
Skinner (guest of Pruffle ) was awarded
the Peter Magnus
trophy for the work he
does teaching all ages
but predominantly young people how to cycle safely
on the road.

The President Samuel
Pickwick ( Stephen
Downham) after the loyal
toast thanked members
and guests for their attendance and thanked
the staff at Imber Court for hosting the PBC
so well and providing a good meal. In true Puxkwickian fashion a
number of members and guests retired to the bar to continue their
revelery. My thanks goes to all those members who supported this club event by attending and
bringing guests.

A special thanks to Frank Simmery (Helmut
STIBAL) for travelling from his home in
Frieburg Germany to participate and taking
the photographs of
the proceedings.

And, finally:
Hoping to see many more members with guests in 2013.
We really do need more support, both for the rides and for Lunch

Pruffle (Aidan Hegarty)
