Flat Meetings

The Flat Section of the V-CC monthly meeting schedule alternates between:

… contact Mick Madgett on or Cally (at a push) on .  Those not on the regular monthly Flat Section e-mail postings may wish to make contact in order to join in—or any newcomers best to check before setting off!

The V-CC Flat Section’s Flatter Subsection also has monthy meetings.  These are on a Wednesday or Thursday around the middle of the month, at lunchtime or in the evening, at an unknown location—except when they″re not.  It's probably best just to ask .

Gallery

We’ve been digging out old photographs of our events and, should you have nothing better to do, you can see them in our photo gallery.

Aims of the Society

The pursuance of cycling in the leisurely fashion of days gone by.  The appreciation and conservation of the countryside and its way of life.  The enjoyment of local public hostelries and their ales.
