Sunday 28th
Vintage Bus Day at the Middy
Cycle over to the railway where you can ride on a
vintage bus, or on the railbus, provided you can drag yourself away from
the bar.
Monday 29th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
July
Thursday 2rd to Sunday 5th
Visit to the Stowmarket Beer Festival at The Food Museum—we usually go on the Thursday as soon as it opens. Remember to bring your own glass.
Sunday 5th
V-CC Flat Section’ sixth Airfields Ride.
It starts at Weaver’s Tea Room in Peasenhall at 10am
for a 10:30 departure (TM358694). This time it will visit the
Bentwaters Cold War Museum at, er, Bentwaters airfield. A gentle
25-mile round trip on quiet lanes via Sweffling, Blaxhall, and Tunstall.
Refreshments are available at the museum: hot and cold drinks, superb
cakes, filled rolls and even ‘hot dogs’, whatever they are. Entry to
the museum costs £7.50, or £6.00 for concessions. Return to
Peasenhall by a different route through Campsea Ashe, Marlesford, and Great
Glemham; some may wish to avail themselves of the Sweffling White
Horse.
Sunday 12th
‘Way to Go’ cycling event at the Food Museum
All the usual cycle show stuff including a jumble and a
sportive—allegedly.
Thursday 16th
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
Thursday 16th
V-CC Flat Section’s Flatter sub-section Northfolk ride.
It will start and finish at Bintree. The plan is
to park at the church car park on church lane at 09:45, then gather at the
nearby 'Algys' farm shop café for refreshments, with lunch at the
Kings Head in North Elmham. Let
know if you're coming along, 07962 007176.
Sunday 19th
How about a ride to the
Middy where there will be a Suffolk Craft Fair?
This is one of our ‘turn up if you feel like it’ Steam
(yes, it should be back to steam now) Sundays where you take a chance on
how many of us (if any) will be there.
Thursday 23rd
Visit to the Harwich Redoubt Beer Festival
09:28 train from Stowmarket; bring a
tankard.
Sunday 26th
If you ride to the
Middy, both the Norfolk and Suffolk Sections of the VMCC will be there.
This is one of our ‘turn up if you feel like it’ Steam
Sundays where you take a chance on how many of us (if any) will be
there. Why not come on a BSA, James, Matchless, Royal Enfield, AJS,
Coventry Eagle, … bicycle?
Monday 27th
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan A.
Friday 31st
First day of the Ipswich Transport Museum beer festival.
August
Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd
Days 2 & 3 of the Ipswich Transport Museum beer festival.
Wednesday 5th
TA East Morning Gathering at the Osier Café in Stowmarket (TM049586) at around 11am,
Thursday 20th
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
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
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
