Xmas Nosh Up on 21st December

Yes, it's October and I expect most of you are not even thinking about Halloween, let alone Christmas. So sorry to cast your thoughts to this festive time so early on.

Having had discussions with a few fellow club mates, we thought it would be a great idea to have a Club Christmas Dinner and what better and more traditional way to celebrate Christmas than to have a curry night! Tandoori Turkey here we come!!!!!

The plan is to go to The White Castle curry house in Ewell (very near to Si and Jen's) on Friday 21 December at 7pm. Basically, the more who turn up the merrier!

If you could let me know if you can make it by the end of October so that I can have an idea of numbers, I will then book the table.

It would be really good to see everyone there so I really hope you can make it.

My mobile number is 07799033696. Please text me and let me know if you can come.

Cheers,

Jackie

Ibbotson Barbeque

I would just like to thank everyone who came to the Ibbo Barbeque.

Simon had a go at riding the 'wobbly' bike, but like myself couldn't quite get to grips with it - Andy was much better, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it on film.

Jen rode the 'Penny Farthing' - with Guy from Pearson alongside offering moral support and a hand when it came to dismounting. Even Gary had a go!


Jackie had a go at max-ing out - after lunch and on a full stomach she did a respectable 31.2 mph, but the winner was always going to be hard to beat with an incredible 42.9mph.

There is a more detailed report and some photographs by Paul Wright on London Cycle Sport.

North Hants 25 result

Hot off the press: North Hants 25, H25/8, 22 Sep 2007

Jackie Townsend 1:4:05
Ann Bath 1:12:46
Rachel Croggon 1:8:40
Jake Dodd 1:9:38

All have recorded their best 25 of the year.
Club Ladies Team Record twice, as they started in that order: 3:25:31 & 3:22:23

Joe Bertorelli 1:0:02
Andy Avis 1:6:26

Not an improvement on either of their times.

Sadly Jackie's amazing ride of 1:4:05 - the 2nd fastest 25 by a lady in the history of the club has swiped the George Crouch Tankard (Improvement) from Rachel, which gives Rachel the Consolation Trophy from Paul who was declared the provisional winner last week.
I say "sadly" because Jackie already has enough trophies for her wheel-barrow at the Club Dinner! ;-) However with the steady improvements she has made during the year she deserves it.
