! Please note this is a Moulton Bicycle Club Members only event!
Venue: Moulton Bicycle Company, Holt Road, Bradford on Avon, BA15 1AH
As requested by many members at last September's meeting, we have moved the event into the school holidays to enable more families to attend. We hope more families will choose to join us. Free entrance for the under 18’s when accompanied by adults.
A range of Moulton themed activities are planned, suitable for all ages.
As you are probably aware things have changed on your committee. One significant decision made was to reschedule the marquee from this year to next year as this coincides with the Club's 50th anniversary in 2025. As a result there will not be a club meal this year.
The main activity of Saturday evening will be the BBQs on the croquet lawn at the Hall, however you may prefer to go to Bradford on Avon town to find something to eat. There is the Dandy Lion which has good food and Timbrell’s Yard which we have visited in the past after rides when it was known as the Riverside.
There are many other smaller pubs, cafes, restaurants & hotels in the town and in the immediate surrounding area.
For those family members who may not be so keen on Moulton bicycles for the whole weekend you could always book on a Hall tour or even stay in the Hall for the weekend with the Alex Moulton Charitable Trust (AMCT), book direct with them at www.moultontrust.org
Also you may wish to check out the Bradford on Avon visitor Information website www.bradfordonavon.co.uk for activity inspiration in and around town.
The Club is happy for you to bring your well behaved & quiet dog(s) to the weekend whether you are camping or just visiting on the Saturday, kindly clean up after the inevitable.
And finally, our RAFFLE, we will need you to donate prizes for the raffle.
Hope to see you in Bradford on Avon
