Monday 13th January 2025
Our destination was the Crown in Stotfold this week. Even though it was a chilli evening, the pub was as popular as ever with members at this time of year.
No one fancied a cold ride together so there was no group ride and Cider Bob was the only one on a bike. But, while no-one counted, there were probably about twenty five or so members crammed in the bar, most arriving by car but some walked.
As always, the Land lord and staff were very friendly and welcoming and there was plenty of food, including the famous Gala Pie.
There was lots of chit chat, which kept most people entertained until beyond 21:30 with some leaving well after 22:00.
A good night all round.
Next week we will be at the Hen & Chickens in Baldock.
Let us know on Whatsapp by 16:00 on Monday if you’d like a group ride from Poplars Sainsburys to the pub.
As already mentioned, our Club AGM is on 24th February at the Cromwell Hotel in Stevenage. All Committee posts are up for election so if you want to be a general Committee member or even one of the “Officers” (Treasurer, Secretary or Chairman), or you want to propose someone, or you would like anything relevant brought up at the meeting, please let Mick Taylor know at least two weeks in advance.

Monday 6th January 2025
The first Monday evening Club meeting of 2025 was at the Plume of Feathers in Little Wymondley.
Although the below zero temperatures put everyone off a group ride, one hardy rider did make his way to the pub via almost an hour’s ride.
At the pub, about twenty five members had braved the weather, in cars or on Shanksy’s pony at what is always a popular venue.
The new Land Lady looked after us just as well as any of our Calendar’s hosts and provided enough food for everyone to have their £2 worth of snacks (remember, the food we put on is only meant to be a snack, not your dinner!).
There’s not a lot to say about the evening other than that it was as sociable as ever and a nice night out.
Next week we will be at the Crown in Stotfold. Let us know on Whatsapp by 16:00 on Monday if you’d like a group ride from Poplars Sainsburys to the pub.
Monday 24th February is our Annual General Meeting. Please come along if you can so you can have your say on how the and who runs the Club and how it is run. Every post on the Committee is up for election so if you’d like to give it a go, put your name forward. If you’d like anything added to the agenda, please let the Club Secretary, Mick know at least two weeks before.
