2018 AGM Agenda

Dear Members, please find attached minutes of committee meeting held 15th Jan 2018.

Minutes 15-1-18 HAB Exec

Hi H.A.B. If you have not yet signed up for our Not-C-Dinner look at the menu attached. You might cancel your other arrangements and join us. Attached please find the superb menu Old Spring Well is offering us for our Not Christmas Dinner 2018. I looks even better than last year and we can look forward to same warm welcome on the night. The reason that we do not have the menu earlier is the fact that this is a “bespoke” menu specifically for H.A.B. 

You need to make your choices:  Starter ; Main ; Dessert. (Not easy !!)

Please send your choices to me a.s.a.p. but NO LATER than mid-night on Monday 21st.

Bon appetit !

Cheers,

Mike F.

HAB N-C D 2018

This month’s mid- week ride will be on Wednesday 15th November and, by popular request, will be to the best fish and chip shop in Filey (where those of a certain age can get a Pensioner’s Special lunch).

We should meet in Wetherby at the North Street Deli at 9.45 for a 10.00 departure. The route will take us out towards York, York ring road and the A116 east. Coffee stop will be at Fridaythorpe then mainly B roads to Filey. The return ride will start on the A170 towards Pickering but head off on nice country roads for the majority of the ride to finish at St John’s retail park Knaresborough. If there is public demand we might even stop for ice cream or tea in Easingwold. Dave Haywood, who was originally leading the ride, is unfortunately unable to do so, so John Blanchfield will lead instead.

IMPORTANT – Change of date for the November mid-week ride out

Please note that I’m having to change the date for November’s ride out. This will be on Wednesday 15th November (i.e. not the normal second Weds of the month). I hope this won’t inconvenience anyone wishing to go.

I plan to do a variant on the popular ‘Fish & Chips’ ride to Filey starting in Wetherby. More details nearer the time.

Thanks

David Haywood

HAB Weekday Ride Out – Wednesday 11th October

October’s weekday ride out will start at the Café 59 on the A59 east of the Bolton Abbey roundabout. Meet from 9.00 for a 9.30am start.

The route will take us west on the A59 before turning right to Malham, eventually picking up the B6479 at Langcliffe. 

B6479 to Ribblehead then B6255 to Hawes and a coffee stop

Coffee stop: Wensleydale Creamery, Hawes

From Hawes we’ll head up Wensleydale before turning right on the B6259 then sharp right again to the B6270 into Swaledale.

Lunch stop: Farmers Arms, Muker

After lunch we’ll continue east following the river Swale, through Reeth then turning right on the minor road back to Wensleydale at Aysgarth Falls.

Left on the A684 towards Leyburn but turning right shortly afterwards to pick up the B6160 back to Wharfedale and the conclusion of the route at the Abbey Tearooms situated shortly before the A59 roundabout.

Length is about 120 miles.

David Haywood will lead the ride.

All members welcome! Look forward to seeing you there.

David.

(Note this is not to be confused with the annual HAB dinner, details of which will be posted later).

I have again booked a table at the Bay Horse in Great Broughton for a celebratory Christmas lunch. The venue and meal was much enjoyed by all who attended last year so please get your name down as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Availability will be on a first come, first served basis.

As previous years (and weather permitting) we will do a short ride out in the morning with a stop for coffee, aiming to arrive at the Bay Horse around noon for lunch at 12.30pm. Or, if you prefer, you can of course make your own way to the pub by bike or car.

Menu details and prices are detailed on the lunchtime selection form below. Please email me at david.haywood@mac.com to reserve a seat and let me know your choice of main course plus starter and/or dessert (if required).
Please let me have this by October 15 latest.

A deposit of £5 per head is required which is non-refundable. I will settle this when I have final numbers and you can reimburse me later.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

David Haywood
