Visit to the beer festival at the Dove Street Inn, Ipswich [TM170445] from
mid-day-ish.
The festival runs from 24th–28th
November so some of us may be there on other days too.
Pedal
Suffolk Festival at Trinity Park, Ipswich.
On the Saturday, it’s Pedal
Retro and, if you only want to go on ‘retro’ day, you’ll be free
on….
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.
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
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.
How about a ride to the
Middy where East Anglian Practical Classics will be visiting?
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.
‘Way to Go’ cycling event at the Food Museum
All the usual cycle show stuff including a jumble and a
sportive—allegedly.
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
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.
Visit to the Harwich Redoubt Beer Festival
09:28 train from Stowmarket; bring a
tankard.
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan A.
First day of the Ipswich Transport Museum beer festival.
Days 2 & 3 of the Ipswich Transport Museum beer festival.
TA East Morning Gathering at the Osier Café in Stowmarket (TM049586) at around 11am,
Monthly meeting at Rattlesden Five Bells, starting at about one o’clock.
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.
V-CC Flat Section monthly meeting—Plan B.
