Well our 125 anniversary year is nearly over, with only the Richmond Park
ride to come, but we have had some great moments to look back on. From
a pure activity point of view I think the Rollapaluza evening comes first,

further information will surface from time to time.
All that remains this month is to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a
Healthy and Prosperous New Year from Lyn and me.
