24 members gathered for our Festive Lunch at the Crooklands Hotel in December.  As with all groups, we’ve had a difficult couple of years.  From having no rides, to restricted numbers on rides, socially distanced rides, and virtual group rides, we have managed to ‘keep going’.   Sunday was a chance to reflect on what we have managed to achieve in difficult circumstance, look ahead to 2022 with optimism and simply to enjoy ourselves, which we certainly did.

The threat of the emerging Omicron virus almost scuppered our plans at one point, but thankfully everything went ahead without incident.  The staff at Crooklands were again amazing and made us very welcome.

Our group has had a successful year with over 40 members taking part in our activities.  We’ve also welcomed new members into the group too, and we’ve a lot to look forward to in 2022.  The 2022 Rides Programme is almost finalised and we are planning to fill in the missing details on our January ride starting in Hornby.

Keep an eye on the ‘What’s On’ page on the website for details of upcoming rides.
