Just a few days to go to our annual weekend at Bradford on Avon.

!!! Download the Weekend Programme of Events!!!

Just Copy, Paste and Print the Programme, above, as a handy list.

Note to all the campers; bacon or egg rolls, tea & coffee will be available on Saturday morning from about 8am (or later, soon after I get up)
They will be also be available to the early arrivers for the table sale which starts at 10am and afterwards until all the supplies have been sold.

There will be cakes with tea & coffee around the time of the courtyard talk – I will bring some wheat gluten free cakes & a vegan chocolate cake, if anyone wants to donate cakes they will be gratefully received & sold (all takings to the clubs fund).

Please bring your own mugs to save us using single use cups with the ensuing litter /environmental impact.

STOP THINKING & START BOOKING - deadline 31st August.

To help us speed up your entry onto the site and reduce congestion on the road outside, especially on Friday evening & Saturday morning:

• Would everyone please arrive at the gate with you wrist bands on and visible.
• Drivers please ensure your car parking pass is visible in your car/motorhome window as you arrive.
  If you don't have a vehicle pass then you will have to find a parking spot on the road. This is a stipulation of the Alex Moulton Charitable Trust who own the estate, NOT your club.
• Motorhome /caravaners please display your camping pass in your motorhome / caravan window.
• Tent campers, would you peg out your camping pass with one of your tent pegs.
  If you can help us by doing as requested above it will make everyone’s life a little bit easier on the day.

Four Moulton bicycles have been bequeathed to the Moulton Bicycle Club.

Originally owned & ridden by Henry Wyre Sutcliffe, who passed away in the mid ‘90s.

They were stored in his son's garage but not ridden until he, Paul Anthony Wyre Sutcliffe, passed away last year. Information provided by the executors of Paul's Will.

They have been stored on deflated tyres for many years, but the inner tubes still hold air. All the bikes appear complete and should be ready to ride after varying amounts of maintenance. All sold as seen, no warranty given or implied.

These bikes will be auctioned during the club weekend this September. Each will have a reserve price (yet to be determined), if they don’t reach the reserve price they will be sold via eBay the following week.

All the proceeds from the sale will go to the club funds.
