What's new ? Last update: 22 May 2012
Cyril Slocombe:
The funeral will be on Tuesday 29th May at Westerleigh
crematorium at 11 am and afterwards at the Players Golf Course on the Westerleigh Road, Codrington.
For those of us who knew Cyril and are intending to attend his funeral, you may wish to join a group of cyclists leading the cortege into the crematorium. If so then please note that the start of this short ride will be from close to the junction of Westerleigh Rd and Pucklechurch Rd (B4465) map ref. ST 704 791. Please ensure you are present and correct by 10.30 am at the latest.
Dress code should be bright colours, wear something yellow in honour of the Severn Road Club
For many of us, the last time we saw Cyril was at his 80th birthday celebration at the Hunters Rest at Clutton Hill where he was delighted to see so many of his friends.
News and ride reviews: Two trips to Weston Super Mare in the same week! See the ride report for details.
30 Year celebrations for the BTOTC.
We have two special events to mark 30 years (at least). A bike based treasure hunt on May 31st starting at 10:00am from Rexam/Amcor and a special ride from Bristol Castle Green to the Dolphin at Bath on 7th June starting at 11:00am. Lunch bookings are required for 7th June; John Bishop and Pete Campbell will be pleased to take your bookings (and your £7.50). See Upcoming Events for full details or click here for a shortcut.
Coxgrove Hill to Yate cycle track update: Like buses, you wait for ages and then two come along together. Two new route sections have now been agreed. Read the latest instalment in From our own correspondent or click here.
Vets 100 Audax: Takes place on 10th June from Winterbourne Community Centre. Click here for an entry form.
Important stuff:
The new printed programme is available from John Bishop for only a quid - the last one before we go online.
The two tunnels project near Bath is making progress. See a Guestbook entry from Rob Shiels for details.
Malcolm Hanson and Pete Campbell have taken over managing the group from John Bishop after his years of hard work. If you think anything should be done differently, or have any comments, let them know when you see them next.
Leave us a message: Has now been renamed as "Guestbook" for technical reasons. This is your chance to leave a message on the site.
Give us your best shot. Dont forget to share your adventures and pictures with your BTOTC colleagues. See Bill or Pete for advice. Have a look in photo gallery/best shot now.
Tuesday coffee meet venues: The cafe at Roundtrees garden centre is still in business. Where the programme says Scarletts Cafe on Clevedon sea front read this as Roundtrees. Those in the North can still go to Old Down country park.
Cheddar meeting will be at the Mousehole Cafe in the gorge rather than the garden centre.
The regulars who go to Wyvale garden centre near Thornbury now prefer Eastwood garden centre just down the road between Thornbury and Falfield but if you prefer Wyvale, carry on.
There is a copy of our programme from 1995 in "From our own correspondent" that may bring back some memories.
From Our Own Correspondant has an article about third party liability insurance. Please read.
If you have any comments or ideas for content please let me know when I see you next.
