Centenary Dinner
Tickets for the club dinner are now on sale, priced at £35.
Saturday 1st November at the Cutlers Hall, Sheffield with Barry Hoban our guest of honour.
Sheffrec turn the corner ?
What a difference a year makes. The annual charity ride took place this week-end (19/20 May 2007) with 35 riders including 4 Rutlers and was absolutely brilliant. Last year’s Sheffrec charity ride saw twelvety punctures, 3 ‘incidents’, the odd near miss, plenty of broken bikes and crap weather. This year, NO PUNCTURES AT ALL, AT ALL, no breakdowns, no incidents, still a few near misses from one rider in particular (no names mentioned but his intials are Lance) and a strong tailwind all the way to Scarbro’ meant 20mph + average. After arriving there nearly 2 hours earlier than expected we decided a pint or two in a nice quiet pub on the front was in order. Little did we know that the pub in question was full of a hen party from Barnsley. The cheer when we walked in lifted the ridge tiles off the roof! ‘Numerous’ pints and a couple of karaokes later we wobbled to the hotel to prepare for the evening session.
Of which we shall say no more………..other than most people managed to at least double the distance from the pub to the hotel on the walk back home.
With plenty of food from the back up van, (that also contained 1 hangover victim and a sore arse victim) a light breeze and sunshine all the way home it was the perfect cycling week-end. The little girl for whom the ride was in aid of was there to greet us at the finish (Harrats Volvo - thanks guys) and it made it all worthwhile. Thanks Sheffrec, see you next year.
Anyone for a weekend ride to York? Chris.
ps Marc, how much did it cost to get everyone through the cycling proficiency test?

CENTENARY DINNER & PRIZE PRESENTATION
Saturday 1st November 2008
As a result of the high demand for tickets to the Centenary Dinner it has been decided to change the venue from Wortley Hall on the outskirts of Sheffield to the Cutlers Hall in the City Centre.
Originally it was thought that Wortley Hall would be an ideal setting for our centenary celebrations but demand for tickets has exceeded our expectations so early on in the year that we have decided to move to this bigger venue.
The Cutlers Hall can seat in the region of 280 people, the date is still the same, Saturday 1st November. To visit the Cutlers Hall web-site click on cutlers-hall-sheffield.co.uk
The guest of honour is Barry Hoban who still holds the records for the most stage wins in the Tour de France by a British rider, winning eight between 1967 to 1975, and for the most Tours completed by a British rider – having finished 11 of the 12 he started between 1965 and 1978. He is also the only Briton to have won two consecutive stages of the Tour.
The price of the tickets are £35 per person of which a deposit of £15 per ticket is required.
At the moment approximately 140 tickets have been sold so if you are intending on coming please give me a call or contact me through this web-site using the link below.
