Notes from the Section Secretary
One event that was missing from last years Social Calendar was the Annual Dinner; this was because volunteer organisers could not be found. This year Brian Jackson has made a provisional booking for Sun 20 Nov. This will be for a Presentation Lunch and will be held at the Lytton Arms, Old Knebworth. Note this is a lunchtime and not an evening event, attendance on cycles is encouraged. More details will be made available nearer to that date; please put it in your diary now.
Many members have enjoyed riding the reliability rides, this year an organiser is still needed for the 12 hour event. There is no obligation to invent a new route, a previous route can be used. If you can help with this please contact myself or Brian Jackson. To remind you the dates are;
| 13th March | Hilly 30 organised by Ian Smith |
| 24th April | 50 organised by Stuart Hammond |
| 3rd July | 12 Hour (125 or 150 Miles) Organiser needed |
| 18th September | 100 organised by Peter Southworth & Paul Kocher |
Ian Smith
Hargreaves Trophy
Points up to and including 20th Feb; the competition this year is still wide open. Richard is ahead but Peter & Stuart are jockeying for 2nd place. Fred is not far away in 4th place but has a bit of work to do if he is going to catch Richard.
