MEETING REMINDER

Thursday 25th April

Monthly Meeting: AGM followed by talk on the ‘M25 Ride’

The AGM should be relatively swift and painless – once you have volunteered to help! See notice elsewhere in the newsletter. After the coffee break we will have an illustrated talk from Doug Nevell about his cycle route that mirrors the M25 round London. Doug has led groups on this ride several times, including one from Barnet Cyclists, and without cycling on the hard shoulder! All welcome.

Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12

EXTRA RIDE: Sunday 31st March – To Hertford

Celebrate the leap forward into spring (remember the clocks go forward this weekend) with an extra ride in the programme. The pace won’t be super-fast but it will be reasonable and there will be hills (so not one for beginners). Back in Barnet early afternoon.

Meet: 9.30am outside Waitrose, The Spires, Barnet – Stapylton Road entrance, by the bandstand

Ride leader: Ray Thorn

Meeting Reminder

Thursday 28th March

Monthly Meeting: Auction Night

PLEASE LOOK OUT THINGS TO BRING AND DONATE TO THE AUCTION. AND REMEMBER TO BRING SOME MONEY TO BID FOR SOME TIP-TOP ITEMS!

After a quick bit of business, and a coffee break, it will be auction time. This is a fundraising night where you can truly ‘recycle’ things you no longer need. The emphasis should be on cycle related items – but other things (in good condition, no tat) can also be offered. Proceeds to group funds. Please take away any unsold items that you bring.

All welcome.

Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church Centre,
Nether Street, North Finchley N12

Sunday 17th March: Sunday ride: ‘Padders’ for lunch

This month Malcolm will take us into London using back streets and canal towpaths. Coffee stop in the morning – exact venue will depend on the conditions on the day. Always an adventure with Malcolm. Then onwards into the Paddington basin for lunch at one of the many eateries. Again, depending on the weather, there may be an afternoon visit to something interesting.  Then the group will wiggle its way back towards King’s Cross where there should be the option of catching a train if you wish, or else cycle back to Barnet.

Meet:   10am Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12
