Please note that the Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation will now be held on Saturday 1 March 2014 and not 25 January, which was mentioned as the likely date in West Surrey Cyclist. The recent flooding has caused the venue to change as well, and it will now be held at the Princess Royal in Runfold, post code GU10 1NX. Full details may be found on the blog here.

The details for this year’s Annual Dinner have taken longer to finalise than expected, as The Mill at Elstead was unfortunately flooded at Christmas. Initially it was thought that they would reopen by the beginning of March, but the damage was worse than they had first believed, so now it will be mid-March at the earliest. It was therefore necessary to find an alternative venue, which has now been done, enabling us to retain the date of 1 March.
The important information is as follows:-
Date – 1 March
Venue – The Princess Royal, Guildford Road, Runfold, Farnham, GU10 1NX
Time – 7.00 for 7.30 meal
Guest Speaker – Josie Dew, cyclist, adventurer, writer, cook, mum… and CTC Vice President. It is a real honour that Josie has agreed to be our guest, and will be coming along with her husband, Gary, and 6 month old son, Jack. I have heard her speak before, and can vouch for the fact that she is very entertaining, with a wealth of amazing stories.
Menu – see below
Cost – £18 for 2 courses, or £24 for 3 courses
Booking – I will need your menu choices and full payment by Wednesday 19 February at the very latest (no need for any prior deposit); please hand to me on a ride, or send to me at 4 Park Avenue, Camberley, Surrey GU15 2NQ, making cheques payable to CTC West Surrey. If you no longer use cheques and wish to pay electronically, please contact me on johnmatsouthview@btinternet.com, and I will advise you of the Club’s bank details.
Although I quote the latest date for booking above, I would much appreciate early booking, so that I know that we have sufficient numbers to make this a viable event – so why not do it right now. I certainly hope that it will be well supported, last year’s dinner appeared to be well received, and with such a superb guest speaker (and a reasonably priced meal, I am sure you will agree), I am really hoping that this will be a successful social event.

Dear friends,
I am contacting you from local Children’s Charity Challengers (providers of play and leisure to disabled children and young people in Surrey & Hampshire). On Sunday May 11th we are holding a brand new event that I wondered if you and your club could be interested in – “The Farnham Cycle Challenge”.
Starting and finishing at Farnham Park this is a fantastic event for everyone of any ability. There is the choice of a 45 or 23 miles cycle along the quiet and stunning country lanes of Hampshire and a fun ride through the park for those not quite ready for the roads. All proceeds from this event go directly to Challengers.
The short ride loop is here – http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/farnham-eng/challengers-short-ride-route-247138425
The long ride loop is here – http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/farnham-eng/challengers-long-route-247176713
For more information please feel free to contact me or go to the event website www.kellystore.org
We would love to have as many local people supporting us at this event as possible, for more information on Challengers please visit our website – www.disability-challengers.org
