Re: THURSDAY 10TH DECEMBER 2020 AT 7PM - VIRTUAL AGM AND AWARDS NIGHT
Hi Where can I return trophies to? Got three. Can drop them round to Dave Cox's, Dave Cole's or Ade's? Got a bit of coaching kit if club wants it back too? Thanks Tim Neil Orchard is probably best placed to take the trophies, but I'm sure Dave Cole would be happy to look after them if that's easier.

There is no need to differentiate male and female for club runs! I don't know - I can see an argument in favour of having a women's club runs trophy. It would recognise that we've not been great at attracting female riders to club runs in the past, we only have one trophy despite the fact that club...
