Mince Pie Run tomorrow folks at Marquis Hall. There’s some rain about so get a short ride in and meet back at the Marquis Hall.
Anyone deciding not to ride, still come on down for Refreshments, sweets and treats and of course a Mince Pie. Everyone welcome from 9:30 until around 12:00pm.
The Hall is still open regardless of the weather.
We are pleased to announce that the Hot Port Run will take place on Saturday 10th Dec with a new venue of the Quays in Portavogie at 11am. We have a back up date for the 17th Dec provisionally booked in case of inappropriate weather.
There will be Soup/Roll accompanied with Tea/Coffee paid for by the Club.
Club runs will need to be aware of the serving time and might consider a later starting time or maybe change from the traditional routes and take in the other side of the peninsula first, or indeed have a race to the ferry.
Christmas attire for those who aren`t bah humbugs!!!
Potential new members are welcome
