Annual planning meeting and bling awards
Annual planning meeting and bling awards – 11th January 2020.
Another successful and entertaining meeting with the customary order, counter-order, hesitation, deviation and repetition with plenty of vox testicularum (aka talking b******s).
Surprisingly there was an outcome in the form of an agreed calendar of events for 2020 which is now to be found on the FGCC website – FGCC 2020 calendar – with a trip to the WW1 trenches region being selected for the annual long ride.
Other events agreed are the Downslink/North-West passage, Monarch’s Way, Isle of Wight/New Forest and Go West rides as well as a number of trek ‘n breks to members’ houses.
Earlier in the evening there was an unusual attentive silence as our Team Mechanic and Primary Route Planner, Paul Topley, read out the stats for the year – number of rides, distances covered and heights climbed – starting with the lowest and step by step leading to the Bulldog Bling Award being presented to Mr Roche as the overall leader and winner of this much-prized and sought after trophy.
Our thanks to the Gun Inn and Tajdar Restaurant, both Findon establishments, for hosting the bling award ceremony and the APM respectively.
