October
Saturday 18th
V-CC Flat Section Lamplit Ride: Oil, gas and candle
on period cycles preferred.
16:00 at the Assembly Point at Marlinspike Hall
(TM367745) for an 18:00 depart on the eight-mile ride to Sweffling White
Horse.
Monday 27th
Train trip to the Norwich Beer Festival (Episode 1).
We″ll get the ten to three train from Stowmarket to
take advantage of the ‘get in an hour earlier if you’re a CamRA member’
session.
This first part of the festival is at the Adrian Flux Waterfront.
Part two starts on Thursday in Castle Mall
Quarter but we haven’t decided whether to go to that too.
Monday 27th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan A.
November
Thursday 6th
Monthly meeting: we will meet at West Suffolk Pub of the
Year, Rattlesden Five Bells, from 1pm.
By 2pm, depending on rain, wind, & enthusiasm, we will
decide to stay where we are or cycle further afield. There is a
tentative plan of visiting the Walnut Tree in
Stowmarket … you never know, it might happen.
Monday 24th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting (Black bikes)—probably not Plan B.
December
Any day during December, January, or February
Snow ride.
Wednesday 3rd
TA East
meeting at The Three Horseshoes,
Cockfield.
We assume this starts at 12 noon, because that’s
when the pub opens.
Thursday 4th
Monthly meeting: we will meet at West Suffolk Pub of the
Year, Rattlesden Five Bells, from 1pm.
By 2pm, depending on rain, wind, & enthusiasm, we will
decide to stay where we are or cycle further afield.
Saturday 13th
Cambridge Winter Ale Festival.
We'll probably go to this—Saturday looks like the best
day because, unlike on Thursday & Friday, it doesn’t close in the middle of
the afternoon.
Friday 26th
V-CC Flat Section Mick Madgett’s Boxing Day Ride
starts from Mick’s shop in Diss.
Mick will lead us on an interesting route to a pub open
for lunch.
January
Any day during January or February
Snow ride–if there is any.
Thursday 1st
New Year’s Day Ride to (probably) the Middy’s New Year’s Day Steam
and Light Festival. This is also the Thursday nearest to the full
moon, so it will take the place of our normal monthly meeting.
The Middy Bar will be open (and, if it’s bucketing down
with rain, you can avoid cycling: there will be a free bus from Stowmarket
railway station at 10 o’clock, 11 o’clock, and
½ past 12).
Monday 26th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—it would be foolish to try to predict where it will be..
Thursday 29th
Monthly meeting: we will meet at West Suffolk Pub of 2025,
Rattlesden Five Bells, from 1pm.
February
Any day during February
Snow ride–if there is any.
March
Sunday 1st
V-CC Flat Section The Boot & Back from Rattlesden Five Bells.
A speed-judging ride on a five-mile course with first
rider away at 11:01am. There’s also a cycle jumble on the pub’s
meadow before the ride.
Thursday 5th
AGM: we will
meet at West Suffolk Pub of the Year, 2025 (and probably our last meeting
before West Suffolk CamRA names a new PotY), Rattlesden Five Bells, from
1pm.
