My Dear Mr Winkle Snr,
!
Wow, what an achievement by our past
!
President, Baillie Mac Something! For many Vacant Space for letters!
years he has been running a charity bike ride in
the name of his Wembley Road Club and I
understand that this year he raised >£3000 for from YOU!
a playground for children with disabilities. And
that is the sort of figure that has regularly
benefitted hospices, air ambulances etc through
his efforts.
!
John Morris (his real name of course) has also
worked hard for the PBC through his annual
excursions across the channel, otherwise known
as ‘Mr Pickwick goes to France’. His meticulous
planning with emphasis on timing, venue, food
and event attraction is exceptional; this year’s
group numbers >17 persons heading for a stage
of the Tour de France. The same attention given
to location he applied to our TdF celebrations on
its previous visit to the UK, and again for the
Olympic Road Race & Time Trial.
!
All this, and Baillie Mac Something still finds
time in his retirement for regular bike rides in
the Chilterns and local games of golf. He even
won the coveted “Jinkins Balls’ at our Golf Day.
He never misses a club event.
!
Joe The Fat Boy
