Congleton Cycling Club

Cheshire Club Run and AGM

Last Sunday (2^nd), eight members participated in the 60-mile Club Run to The Venetian Café on the Middlewich Canal near Poole in pleasantly mild conditions. Couples: Linda and Karl Austin, Denise and David Hurst, Georgina and Bob Norton were accompanied by Steven Jackson and Peter Hayhurst. The outward journey was via Alsager, Barthomley then Shaley Bank over to Wrinehill, Wybunbury and Nantwich. The return route was via Winsford, Clive Green, Wimboldsley, Sandbach, Bradwall and Brereton.

The recent AGM was well-attended. The Committee Members were re-elected with only one modification. Denise Hurst handed-over one of her positions – that of Membership Secretary – to Tony Elliott, who took this on in addition to his positions of Treasurer and Webmaster. Our President, Stephen Sebire, and the Vice Presidents remain, with the exception of Alan Biddulph who unfortunately but understandably decided to retire. Club members expressed their Thanks to all officials and especially to Alan for his many years of service to the Club.

On 25^th / 26^th October, Denise Hurst and Bob Norton attended the re-union in Banbury of their CTC A2M (Atlantique to Méditerranée) Tour last summer, of which Bob was the Leader. Thirteen riders enjoyed the good company and the rides to Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday and into the Cotswolds on Sunday, in fine autumn weather.
