Pickwick Bicycle Club Magazine Volume 16 No.2 October 2019 !15

We were the pathfinders and led the way around the course, ahead of organiser
Smithers and his group. All the teams completed this very interesting course, arriving back
at the Club House to find the cyclists already enjoying the amber liquid and sunshine. As
highlighted by Justice Stareleigh, the club kitchen did us proud once again with an excellent
lunch.
Smithers then thanked everyone for attending including those that just came to lunch,
and imposed the usual Pickwickian fines for incorrect attire. I was asked to say a few
words, which I began by asking everyone to stand and give a moments thought, and raise a
glass to those gallant men & boys on the Normandy Beaches 75 years ago. I then explained
briefly about my Rockinghorse Charity to which the gathering graciously donated a grand
total of £196. Then it was time for the prize presentations.

Unfortunately the Jinkins Balls trophy had gone missing, but it was won by Fogg, who
narrowly beat me by one shot for the worst performance! The outright winner of the
Crandyke Cup for best guest stableford winner was Russell Bamford (guest of Smithers),
and another of the Smithers clan, Robert Basden won the Boz Cup for nearest the pin by a
guest. Samkin in site of my nuisance value, won the Namby Cup for best stableford score by
a Pickwickian, and Smithers again picked up a trophy — the Winkle Cup for nearest the pin
by a member. Well done to all winners,and thank you Smithers for another great Pickwick
outing……Samuel Pickwick.
