Not-Christmas-Dinner – Saturday 28th January 2016

Please find attached details of the Not Christmas Dinner

Mike Fourie advises that last year we went for the “economy” dinner which was disappointing so this time he has opted for an all-round more upmarket event.

Date change for September’s week day HAB ride out

David has had to change the date for next month’s ride out to Tuesday 6th September owing to other commitments and not being able to find anyone else to lead a ride on the 14th.
He’s not sure of the route yet but thought expects to go to the Crown in Askrigg again for lunch.
Meet 9.45am at Ripley car park for a 10.00am start.
This is only a temporary change so back to the second Wednesday of the month from October.
David looks forward to seeing those of you who can make it on the 6th.

Christmas Lunch Ride Out – Wednesday December 14th 2016

David Haywood has reserved a table at the Bay Horse in Great Broughton earlier this year for a Christmas Lunch. This is the place we favoured last year but unfortunately left it too late to book.

He now needs to firm up on the booking so please let him know as soon as you can if you are able to join us on December 14th (or likewise if you can’t). There may be a small deposit required but he’ll advise on that later.

As last year, we’ll organise a ‘ride in’ subject to the weather (but feel free to travel by car if you prefer!).

David looks forward to hearing from you
