The Newsletter of the Dagworth & District Gentlemen's Cycling Society
Autumn 2008
Back to Base
From October onwards, our Monthly meetings return to HQ: Rattlesden Five Bells. They are on the third Thursday of each month, so that's 16th October, 20th November and 18th December. There's still a chance for a ride elsewhere, because the next quarterly meeting will be at Wetherden Maypole on 4th December. At all evening meetings, we try to get to the pub by 8:30pm.
More Monthly Meetings
The Veteran-Cycle Club 'Flat Section' meets at The Scole Inn on the last Monday of each month. They gather there between 7:00 and 7:30 after which they pedal off for a mere five-mile saunter to a more suitable pub - usually Rushall Half Moon or Hoxne Swan. Make a 'phone call to Cally on 01986 784664 if you want to know more.
Beer
Ipswich Beer Festival is in the penultimate week of September. We'll be there on the Friday.
Hallowe'en
We'll be going for a ride on Hallowe'en. Be at Combs Gardeners Arms by 8:30pm, then we'll decide where to go next... Great Finborough Chestnut Horse perhaps... or Buxhall Crown... or maybe somewhere else.
A Trudge
On Sunday September 28th, the Flat Section of the V-CC will be trudging again. Meet at Marlinspike Hall, Walpole. There's a cycle rummage sale before the ride sets off at 11:00, heading for Laxfield's Low House for 11:00. Lunch should be pre-booked by calling the pub on 01986 798395.
Do you remember the 'Somewhere in Suffolk'
picture in the previous Dagworth Wheeler?
Here it is again:
Did any of you work out where it was?
I think this is the same spot:
It's changed a bit since 1936
Snow
With the weather being so erratic, maybe there is a chance of some snow this year... or maybe not. Anyway, just in case there is a suitable quantity of snow on the ground one weekend, then we'll have a cycle ride through it. Here's the plan: If you get up on a Sunday to find the ground outside is covered in a deep coating of snow, telephone Andrew on Stowmarket 673943 to find out where and when the ride will be. Alternatively, you could 'phone him now and ask to be added to the list of people he will call up when the ride takes place.
Jumble
Whittlesey Cycle Jumble is on Saturday 11th October. We usually go by train as this allows us to combine the jumble with some visits to Whittlesey's fine selection of pubs.
