Cycling Holiday in the Peak District 7-9 May 2019

By on 16 November, 2018   /   Blog posts  

A group of cyclists from West Surrey CTC are heading to the Peak District in May to explore this area by bike. We have reserved several rooms at the special rate of £60 single room / £80 double room at the Manifold Inn in Hulme End near Hartington (www.themanifoldinn.co.uk). The rooms are currently reserved for three nights from 7-9 May, but there is the option of adding an additional night on the Bank Holiday Monday 6 May. Some cyclists in the group have opted to rent cottages nearby for the entire week. There will be led rides every day visiting nearby places of interest.

If you would like to join us for this adventure, please contact Hilary Stephenson for further information (hilary878@btinternet.com). You can book rooms directly with the hotel with a 10% deposit and mention that you are part of the cycling group. Please let Hilary know if you are planning to go that we have an overview of numbers. Eleven cyclists have signed up so far. Non-cycling partners are welcome to join us and there are plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy walking or other activities whilst we are out cycling.

Happy cycling!

Consultation on making Lucas Green Road and Ford Road, West End one-way

By on 1 November, 2018   /   latest news  

This proposal affects cyclists. A mandatory one-way system would force cyclists, for some journeys, off minor roads on to the busy, narrow A322, unless contra-flow cycle lanes were included. An advisory one-way system might work, and would not affect cyclists.

This is by far the shortest questionnaire I have come across for years. There is no excuse for not doing it!

AGM Update

By on 18 October, 2018   /   latest news  

The Agenda, Draft Annual Report and Financial Report are now up on the website here for members to view prior to the meeting in ten days time, that is Saturday 27th October at 10am in Godalming at the usual venue.

There will be free tea and coffee prior to the meeting (supplementary charge for gin), but we’ll pay for the gin or another drink of your choice following the meeting. Please ask any member of the Committee on arrival how to claim your drink(s) – there is a process.

We know AGMs can be dull affairs but you can liven it up by voicing all those ideas you might have had about how we can improve what the Club offers its members; we have a very healthy and happy club at the moment but surely there’s something else we could be doing to make it even better! Do have a think on this and come full of ideas.

See you all there!
