Christmas Party at the Club Room @ Club Room
Dec 21 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

For all Juniors and  all other members as well!

We are having a bit of a Christmas Party in the club on Monday 21st December.

One of the things we are going to do is to see who can last longest doing a track stand in the club on the club track bikes. Prizes for the winners.

Also we will be doing the old favourite of mending a punture.

Soft drinks snacks and cakes as for juniors and maybe something stronger for the seniors.

Hope you can make it Ken
