August
Wednesday 26th
A visit to the Bury St Edmunds beer festival
Assuming it’s the same as last year, a CamRA members’
preview session will open at 4pm.
Sunday 30th
Spoke and Steam: the annual event when we all
converge on the Middy.
We start from Stowmarket, V-CC Flat Section members
start from Walpole or Diss, and the Chickering Cycling Circle starts from
Horham (& not the car park at the Middy).
Our ‘spoke’ leaves Unity Road at 10:00, calls at Stowmarket Railway station
at 10:10, and Reeds Way in Stowupland a bit later depending on how long it
takes to struggle up the hill. The V-CC contingent from Walpole is
planning to get to the Middy at 11:00; we'll probably be a bit later but
can't go any earlier if we're going to collect anyone coming by train from
Bury.
Monday 31st
Trip to Norwich for the Duke of
Wellington (The Iron Duke) beer festival.
The train from Stowmarket is at about 10 to
11.
Monday 31st
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
September
Thursday 17th
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
Thursday 17th
V-CC Flat Section’s Flatter Subsection Radar Ride
Starts in Wroxham with a circular ride passing some
large 'Wool' churchs and village staithes before arriving at the museum at
RAF Neatishead with plenty of time to explore the museum before a short
ride back to Wroxham. On road or cycle path 22 miles.

Monday 28th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan A.
October
Saturday 10th
Bus (and train) trip to Whittlesea for the V-CC Old Soke
Section Cycle Jumble and The
Letter B; jumble starts at 11:00am at St Andrew’s
Parish Room, Whittlesey, PE7 1BZ [TL267969].
Pitches: £10; Entry £1. Cake (and other
refreshments) available.
The bad news is that—again—there are no trains to Whittlesea on this day;
it’s a rail replacement bus service from Bury. Leaving Stowmarket on
the 8:11 train to Bury, then going all the rest of the way by bus, gets us
there at 10:55 provided the bus turns up, doesn’t break down, and doesn’t
collide with any wildlife. Leaving two hours later gets us there in
time to turn around and come back home. It is possible that Network
Rail’s mission to stop us going to Whittlesea may succeed this
year.
Thursday 15th
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
Thursday 15th
V-CC Flat Section’s Flatter Subsection Marriots Mardle
Starts in Norwich then follows cycle paths and
bridleways to Wroxham, then the Bure Valley path to Aylsham for lunch, then
Marriots Way back to Norwich. Mostly off road 41 miles, taking the
train to Wroxham will reduce it to 31 miles.
Details from
Monday 26th
Train trip to the Norwich Beer Festival.
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. There is a train half-an-hour earlier if you want to be at
the front of the queue.
Monday 26st
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
November
Wednesday 11th

Thence to Blickling Hall for lunch with time to view the RAF Oulton
museum. Then onto the RAF Oulton memorial, the Liberator memorial at
Cawston, and back to Aylsham. 25 miles.
