27 WCC members attended the club night at the Hillingdon Circuit on Friday 11th August. 6 members made it onto the circuit for a few laps on the warm evening. The main room was almost full!
The evening was a great social event but a meeting was also held to discuss re-establishing the club profile, with the aim of recruiting new members. The meeting was extremely positive and one immediate result was that Sunday Club runs are back on the calendar with a new outlook.
Sunday club runs will now have the following guidelines:
- Rides to start at selected locations depending on the destination
- Start locations to include safe parking and toilets / cafe where possible and close to public transport (tube/rail)
- Start at 9am prompt
- 30-40 min cafe stop
- Return to start for 13:30
The first ride will be on Sunday 20th August from Little Chalfont – Destination will be PE Mead Farm Shop at Wilstone. Julie Anderson is the ride leader for this one. 42 miles and only 500m of climbing.
Meet at Little Chalfont – Snells Wood Car Park – Junction of A404 and Cokes Lane HP7 9QA. Leaving 9am promptly
The club also agreed to give more support to the successful Tour de Ricky audax and the annual ride will be used to recruit new members for the future.
